I guess I should start with some background. Laura and I met right before she was leaving town. She had just got a marketing job which allowed her to travel all over the U.S. We had one amazing date right before she left. Just talking and hanging out...I was really excited to have met her, but then she had to leave. So we started talking on the phone. Soon we spent about an hour everyday talking on the phone. We'd send each other pictures and jokes. We had great conversations. When she came back to Denver for awhile...well, we had realy connected and started dating monogamously, you know, she was my 'girlfriend'. Then she had to leave again for several months...back to phone dating.

She would send me things in the mail like postcards and packages. She had been gone for a couple of months and had another month to go when she called me and said, "I'm sending you a present. It's going to be at your neighbor's house. Go see Cassie and get your present." She had sent me a clue of the present, it was a picture and it was of boxes, crates and luggage in a giant warehouse.

So I went next door and knocked on Cassie's door, totally excited to get my present. Cassie told me, "go into my room, it's in there." I walked in her room and there was Laura! She had flown back early. The picture she had sent me was of the hanger where she caught her airplane back to Denver. I had totally missed that clue haha. She made my whole day-no, that's an understatement. It was one of the best surprises I'd ever had and it was a great day.
