G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Simple answer for a simpler person

Help Hi to everyone I am really new to this and I am having a very frustrating time of things.

I am trying to engrave with a small mill I run the program and all three axis move to the start and the x and y start to travel with the z still coming down so the start is shallow and getting deeper until the z bottoms out. this happens right the way through the program, ifeel I have either not set it up properly the machine I mean or I am missing some code that pauses the movement of the x and y until the z has reached to set depth.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please
