About Az, By Steph

The night I met Az, I texted my sister, “I’ve met someone special.” Special doesn’t begin to describe Az. He has a big heart and shows his love in big ways and small, like bringing me coffee each morning or adjusting the fan so that it blows directly on our dog, Porsche. 

He has a goofy sense of humor, coming up with puns to make me laugh during difficult times. In addition to his silly side, he has an admirable dedication to his career. Az is a journalist at a prominent newspaper, having worked his way up from a local paper. He’s worked hard on how best to keep people informed and engaged. 

Az has an adventurous spirit. Whatever I suggest, he says yes with a smile, whether it’s surfing or dance lessons. I feel fortunate for the day I let my sister convince me to sign up for Bumble, because it brought someone truly special and extraordinary into my life. I can’t wait to see Az as a dad, because I know he’ll bring all of his kindness, dedication, and sense of adventure to the most important job of all: being a father.
