LoVe Is In ThE AiR

Today Zach and I celebrate our 4th Anniversary!!! I can't believe it has been 4 years. Time flies when you are having fun right! Our love story began on July 12, 2004. I had been home from my mission for 6 months and Zach's sister, Cherie asked me if I wanted to go to a movie with her..I was so excited, she mentioned that her husband was going, I thought OK I can be the 3rd wheel...I just got home from my mission..no problem. Well then she mentioned that her little brother, Zane and his wife were going...OK I thought. NOW WHAT??? So, she asked me if I wanted to go with Zach, I thought sure, that would be fun. I didn't really know him much..but what the heck! So off we went in Cherie's mini van to Olive Garden and the to see White Chicks. What a BLAST I had. I honestly think that I laughed the whole night. I knew then and their that I was going to marry Zach Gerrard! I never wanted the night to end, it was so much fun. I headed home after Zach and I had talked for awhile. I went home to tell my mom that I found my husband! I knew that we were getting married. 5 SHORT days later of being together non stop...Zach had mentioned that he was down with the marriage thing if I was. WHAT!! How could I say no to such a PERFECT GUY!!! I gave him a BIG HUG and that was that.

He was off to Egypt the next day for 6 LONG months. My family hadn't even met him. He told his parents that I was waiting for him....I had to set him straight on that. The next thing I knew his parents booked a fleight for me to visit Zach in Egypt in just 3 weeks for a whole month! I was SO excited. I had a lot to do in 3 short weeks. In that time I found my wedding ring, picked out the material for my dress and we bought the house that we live in. My family was wondering what the CRAp was going on. I just told them to trust me on this one. I knew that Zach and I were going to be together forever the minute I saw him. I went to the Temple before I went to Egypt to pray about this decision that I knew what so right. I will never forget the feeling that I got when I was sitting in the celestial room of the Bountiful Temple. I knew it was right.

I was off to Egypt. What a trip! It was 3 weeks of PURE bliss and romance. Not a dull moment..pure laughs and jokes and we really got to know each other. He of course waited until the last week that I was there to purpose to me. We were sitting on the beach at the Red Sea and he never really purposed formally to me..he said a few things that made him even more perfect.

Here we are 4 years later, enjoying life with 2 great kids. I am so excited that I went off of my intuition. Zach is my best friend in the world. We have our differences like everybody, but he is a GREAT husband...and the BEST dad in the world. I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with you Zach, I love you so much!!!
