love story part 1

One of my favorite bloggers once shared part of her love story on her blog. My sister and I were obsessed with her beautiful story of love and we could not wait to read the next piece as soon as she shared them... but they she stopped and never finished. Well ever since I had read hers I knew one day I would want to share mine so that I can always remember those fun details.  Since this blog is my piece of the world to do what I want with, here it is. I am warning you now, it is not really epic, and it's not super dramatic, but it's mine and I love it.

It started in probably July of 2011. I was in Clinton, Mississippi serving an LDS mission. My companion and I had district meeting with two other sets of missionaries each week (known as our district). The District Leader happened to be David. I do not remember much about David, other than the fact that my companion and I helped him write love letters to this girl he was writing. We gave advice, we wanted this girl to be impressed. It was our fun while being away from home. I think he was only the district leader for 6 weeks. I can't even remember. We crossed paths a few times but that was that.

Flash forward to 2012, I got home in October, he got home in June (I think). We became facebook friends and that was that. We had a conversation in messenger that went a little something like this:

Me: Price, what's up? How are you? I see you are going to the U, how do you like it?
D: It's great, I am enjoying it. Life is great.

There were a few more exchanges but that was pretty much all.

Flash forward another maybe 6 months and my sister and I realized we needed another group of friends to hang out with. Most of ours had dropped off the planet in their own marriages and new relationships and so we decided to go through facebook and figure out if there was anyone on there with a potential fun group of friends. David came to mind and I messaged him again inviting him to go to Utah gymnastics....
