We were in the same high school but never knew each other, Darin being a year ahead of me. Years later we became friends on Facebook, not talking for the first couple of years, then one August evening I get a message from him asking for my number. I was having health issues and he knew about the issue I had mentioned on Facebook so we talked about that. We talked a couple of times then a couple of weeks went by and we started talking again, then it was pretty much a daily talk on the phone and texting back and forth. Two months after our first conversation Darin asked me if I'd come to McPherson for the annual Toy Run at the end of November, I did and didn't want to leave once I arrived. Darin asked me if I would want to move here so I drove back to Nebraska after spending several days with him and gave notice at my job and moved the day after Christmas in 2013.
