    I worked with her older sister for a couple years, perfectly content being single. One day, randomly blurted out that I hated being single. Her sister asked me to describe what I wanted, I said a few things, and “You just described my sister! Let me introduce you.”

    Apparently, she had already thought we would be perfect together. That was 16 years ago, and we’ve been married for almost 13. I could not ask for a more perfect person to have as my wife and dearest friend.

        The whole shitness of that workplace was redeemed by this one single moment from my sister in law lol.

        The one time that “We’re like a family here” isn’t a red flag

        A couple things I value and a few childish superficial things.

        I remember saying something like “why can’t I just meet a really kind, intelligent, kinda nerdy” then I forget, then “short, brown-haired girl?”

        And my now-sister in law, “OMG that’s my sister!” Honestly, it feels like it was meant to be.
