Our Top 10 in 2 Months!

As we celebrate our 2 months of being married, we want to share with you the Top 10 things that have happened since we've been The Stroups.

10. Zack has been studying, very, very, very hard for the Series 7 to be a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones.

9. Trip to Kansas City to celebrate our wedding with many great Kansas friends. We enjoyed a wonderful reception in the Portell backyard with both of our parents.

8. We carved our first pumpkin.


7. We bought a new couch, and got rid of Larry (our old couch).

Goodbye Larry :(

Hello new couch :)

6. Roadtrip to St. Louis to see Brittany Portell perform in a Regional Band Competition playing her Tenor Drums. She Rocked!

5. We welcomed home our Best Man's first child from Guatemala. We're so glad to have Lindsy back and Eliana at home in Nashville.

4. We joined our first Young Married Community Group hosted by the McKelvy family.

3. Going on our first camping trip to Edgar Evans State Park on Center Hill Lake. We enjoyed a beautiful 8 mile hike, and refreshing swim in the lake.

2. We enjoyed a little extra wedding cake when returning from our honeymoon.


1. We spent over 72 hours transfering all of our personal IDs to prove we are The Stroups and live at 5878 Brentwood Trace, Brentwood, TN, 37027.
