Our very first conversation alone happened towards the beginning of June 2012. I really needed someone to talk to, and Jordan was ready to listen. We went to Dairy Queen, and he paid for my ice cream (like a gentleman). Not only did he listen to me, but he gave me very useful advice. It was a great conversation (and longer than I anticipated, I might add).
We did lots of fun things together with friends, including a ward laser tag activity (shown in the picture below). Slowly and surely we started to spend more and more time together with or without friends around.
Again, please ignore the ridiculous faces

If it wasn't this conversation that changed things, then it was definitely when we went to a friend's cabin together. We were all seeking for adventure - yes, even I wanted to do something exciting. And when we were at the cabin, we decided to hike to a "haunted" cabin just up the road. We didn't go until night, of course; and we only had a few flashlights.
Jordan had a flashlight. I didn't. So naturally I stayed close to him on the trek to this very scary cabin. Very close. We ended up linking arms, because just a few moments before, one of our friends had hidden in a bush and scared me. Jordan appreciated the gesture, I'm sure. ;) We went to the haunted cabin and walked around the dark paths for an hour or so. Our arms were linked the entire time because I was ridiculously scared. Jordan helped the situation by separating us from our group of friends and pretending that our flashlight was broken. He knew I wasn't leaving his side any time soon.
When we caught up with our friends, we all laid in the grass to watch shooting stars. While we were gazing at the stars, Jordan and I continued to have some great conversation. Our friendship was never the same after that night.
