Zach took me on our first date. We met at the very end of August when we started college at USI. It wasn't until September we really began to hang out, and then we began to talk about going on a date. He worked at Gander Mtn. that had just opened up in Evansville. I had been wanting to go shopping there and couldn't find the store. Once Zach mentioned that he might be able to take me if I wanted, I definitely stopped trying to find the store on my own. ; ) The week we went, he worked every day of the week, except for one. He told me he would take me on his one day off. We drove to Gander first and we shopped around. I tried on snow hats and Zach bought me a Gander cap. Then we were driving back toward USI and Zach asked me if I had ever driven stick shift before. He pulled into Roberts' Stadium parking lot and told me he was going to teach me. I remember thinking, "This boy must be crazy if he is letting me drive his truck on our first date." It went pretty well and then we went to Wal-Mart to shop. Maybe not a traditional date, but I wouldn't change any detail of it. It was perfect just the way it was!
5 years later, Zach no longer works at Gander, I still couldn't drive stick to save my life, I have graduated college, Zach has gone back in, and we thankfully spend more time at Target or Schnucks than Wal-Mart. A lot has changed, but all for the better. I am so blessed to call Zach my husband! I am so glad we had that first date! I know we have lots more dates to come!
