My Best Friend

This is a good story. So about two years ago when I first went d0wn to CEU I met Chase. He was in my math class, so of course that was a great excuse to talk to him. So we started hanging out and became really good friends. After that I guess you could say we were casually dating because he still had to go on a mission. He left CEU at the beginning of the second semester to go home and get ready for his mission. We still were dating and saw each when we could despite the two hour drive.

Not too long after he left Chase got his mission call to Zurich, Switzerland. He left May 24th of 2006. Things were really good before he left, we had a lot of fun and grew quite fond of each other :) but no promises were made and Chase had a mission to focus on, so it was left at that. While Chase was on his mission and while I was starting my second year of school we wrote back and forth often (but not too much to distract either one of us) I was dating and working hard in school, while he was working hard on his mission.

One day in March I get a phone call saying Chase had been in an accident. It was the scariest thing ever! Luckily it wasn't more than a severed achilles tendon and a few broken bones in his foot, but it was serious enough to send him home for surgeries and recovery. I didn't really plan on seeing him, but he was released and wanted to see me. That was March 17th when I saw him and things have been great ever since. We have seen each other a lot since he has been home and become even better friends than before. Some things happen for a reason. . . He is finished with surgeries and is headed towards full recovery, after which he is going back out to finish his mission. Talk about dedication. He is amazing!
