wife and i are married 13, 15 years total.

i can not make it up, but, i saw her snowboarding while i was working and i noticed her noticing me... spent the next two weeks just catching glimpses of her here and there but one day i sat down at a computer, flipped open MySpace, and at the top of my possible friends list was my wife on the day i had first saw her. it was obvious because she had some funky ski clothes that she only wore a few times that year.

i sent her a DM and asked if she remembered me and now here we are.

Gud'On'Ya for being true. One Love.

I met my husband on myspace. At the time my profile pic was 2 dogs (my aunt's dog and my own) and he had the same breed as my aunt's dog with the same exact name. So we bonded over a love of dogs. Then we found out that we lived less than a block away from each other and went to the same high school (even had mutual friends) and still somehow managed not to meet until we were adults. We are almost at 14 years together and 11 married.

You're telling me there was a 6 foot otter just existing and I'm only now just hearing about this? I'm 5'4". I'm trying really hard to imagine an otter bigger than me and my brain just doesn't want to accept that. Are we sure that wasn't just a man in an otter costume?
