Although Ben was in a different country, we now had more contact then when we lived only a few cities away. He wrote me a letter when he got home and we wrote back and forth every few weeks. While I was living in Moenchengladbach, Ben sent me the cutest package complete with coloring book and two super cute and fun squirt guns shaped like a shark and a killer whale. My companion, Rachel Doty, and I had a lot of fun with the awesome things he sent and that package got me thinking even more about Ben. Would we be friends when I got home? Would we date?
I got back from my mission July 2010. On July 4th, I was catching up on my email and facebook when I got a message from Ben
"Hey, wait a sec," he typed, not knowing I was back yet. I smartly wrote, "One" back to him, smiling at my silly remark. We chatted for a little bit, and after a few minutes he got my number. He called me later that day and asked me if I wanted to join him at a rock climbing competition. Little did we know it would be the best first date ever and would quickly turn us into best friends.
