We met over 16 years ago in a university bar in London, Ontario where he worked and I frequented. Before I even made it home that night, he had already slid into my Facebook PMs. ☺️ When I moved across the country to Calgary, Alberta for a teaching job a few months later, we only lasted four months before he made the decision to move too.

I would never be someone to say that marriage is a fairytale. It’s full of ups and downs, great moments and tough patches. It’s something that’s worked on every single day. After everything we’ve been through in 16 years, I’d still go back to that cold, tipsy April night and choose him. 💕
