My wife and I met in a Facebook group as teens. Despite living in different parts of the world, we had so much in common.

This January, I stared outside, and there was still a part of me that didn't quite understand that I was seeing lush green grass instead of snowdrifts up to my chest. If, a few years ago, you had told me that I would be married and living in a wholly different hemisphere from where I grew up, I wouldn't have believed you. I would have believed you even less if you told me that it happened almost entirely by chance.
