Heather's story

I met François in September or October 2006. I had just moved into a house with 3 other girls. One of them was a foreign exchange student from France. One day, two French guys knocked on our door looking for my roommate. She wasn't there, so they left. Later on, we started going to the pub together, and I learned that they lived across the street from us. François and I talked at the pub, and eventually began instant messaging each other, from across the street. We started spending lots of time together, and eventually realized we should be together.

François's story

I met Heather on a windy day in Calgary. I knocked on Heather's door to see if her roommate was home. She wasn't, but this episode allowed me to meet Heather. We started going for wings regularily. Slowly, our companions stopped coming, until it was just the two of us. Ontop of that since I was procrastinating in front of my laptop, and Heather was sitting in front of her laptop, bored, we started doing puzzles on the internet. Then I decided to cross the street and actually do something. And we did. We went to some concerts, and then on a reading break trip to Montana. We were together all summer but in the fall we were forced to spend a year apart, but we got through it.
