Ben
Ben is my roommate, and friend. 
Oh, and we’re married
He is from Florida, but we luckily met because fate landed him a job in Southern California after college. This means we visit Florida fairly often and live in SoCal on our down time (or would that be our “up” time?).
All About Ben:
- He was born and raised in Florida. And he killed an alligator when he was two years old*
- He played football in high school and is surprisingly nimble for being so big
- He went to Princeton (despite what it may seem from past blog posts, he is a genius)
- He is an aerospace engineer. When we met and he told this I said, “So, you’re a rocket scientist?”
- He loves new experiences, even if they are bad.
- He loves animals and will pull over on the side of the road to help a cat that was hit by a car. This happened 2 times so far.
- He has random theories about everything.
- He moved with me to MD when I got a writing job even though we both don’t like the cold.
- He sent flowers to my work (at my old job that I hated) and the card said, “Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Your job sucks, But my love is true!”
- He is currently training for his first 5K!!!
*Not true about the alligator, but he wanted me to write that.

For what it’s worth, I can totally picture Ben as a toddler, wrangling an alligator…..
