Carlos and I me on a website for language learners ( SharedTalk.com ). My profile on there describes a geriatric cat-lady with severe skin problems to weed out the creeps. (It didn't always work!)

We met on ChristianMingle.com in the 30's chat room. He was having some IT problems and asked me for help (I'm so glad he did). We kept talking via emails & IM and eventually traded phone numbers. A month after our first meeting on the computer we decided to meet in person (a month from then).

We met, had an amazing time and knew that we had found "the one". We started visiting each other back and forth every month or so and a little over 2 weeks ago he proposed on (almost the top) of the mountain we had spent all day climbing. Of course I said yes! And now here we are....amongst all you wonderful & helpful people VisaJourney-ers.

As a few others have said - skype makes it so much easier! We skype everyday and I have no idea how we would manage it if we couldn't skype.

We met on a text-based MMORPG in 2004. I had been playing the game for about 4+ years at the time and he had been playing for even longer than that. He had heard that I was from Singapore and not knowing anyone from Asia, he decided to ask me about it. Before we knew it, we were chatting on AIM and then MSN almost daily. We both realized we had something special between us sometime around 2007/2008 (yes, it took us a long time to figure that out!), but it was not till 2010 that we finally met in person.

MSN, gmail and pingo calling cards have been our constant friends and companions through everything.

Today, we've been married for almost 1 year + 8 months.. and life is really awesome together! (Ask me again in 40 years! :hehe:)
