Well, Mike, along with a bunch of other people, replied to me and we got along great from the first moment on. We started to exchange long emails every day and started to chat online every night. Then I went to see him for the first time in Feb. '00 (as I was already in the US, visiting Santa Barbara). After that he went to Austria to visit me and everything developed from there ..... the rest is history. :) We were married in Vienna on February 10, 2001. I will immigrate to the United States in June or July and live with my husband in Connecticut.
