Stephanie's best friend Maggie, and her then fiancée Andrew, moved to Spokane to start flight school so that Andrew could become a pilot. Before one of my visits, Maggie talked to me about one of Andrew's classmates, Jared, who was this "funny, sweet, guy." Maggie was convinced we would be the best of friends. When I came to visit, Jared had also been given the memo that "Maggie's single friend" would be in town. Well, my bff was right. Jared made me laugh SO much and our friendship began there. Fast-forward a month later when Maggie and Andrew got married and chose to have the two of us walking down the aisle together in THEIR wedding (subtle right?). Shortly after that, we both decided to give long distance dating a try. We began to talk daily from our different states as I was living in Phoenix and Jared still in Spokane. Eventually, visits to Washington and Arizona happened more frequently for us, and a "friendship" with Jared turned into something more--just as Maggie planned!
