My wife and I have known each other since I was 7 years old and she was 6 years old. Our parents went to the same church. Pretty common, I suppose. Then we moved 100 miles away when I was 12.

Thirteen years later, my sister moved back to the area and became a school teacher at the same school where my now wife was also a teacher. My sister re-introduced us and, as they say, the rest is history. We've been married 35 years now with 5 kids and 8 grandkids.

A few interesting side notes; my mom found old pictures where my wife was at birthday parties for my sister; my father-in-law was the principal where my sister and wife were teaching when we were re-introduced; and finally, I didn't remember her at first because when we moved, I wasn't old enough to be interested in girls.  But the more I thought about it, I did eventually remember her.
