Choosing to be an exchange student after I finished high school instead of immediately starting college. Ended up with an amazing family in northern Idaho (I’m from Belgium), where nature is stunning. I knew within a few hours that I was gonna have an amazing year. Spoiler alert: I did. Still in contact with them even though it’s been 9 years :)

That's great! I was never brave enough to do that, but would have loved to go to Ireland or Canada.

Deciding to break my parents "no social media" rules and join the Discord server for someone on YouTube who I'd used a video from in a video of mine (and had a little conversation with because of it). Around...uh-some amount of months later, I have a strong friend group who probably knows me better than anyone.

Marrying my husband. He is 13 years older than I am, and came with two kids (ten years younger than myself). We met, dated, and married in 10 months. That was 17 years ago. We have four more children now, and a grandson. I love those older kids, and am thankful to have a husband who is emotionally mature, reliable, and self sacrificing.
