It’s a small world!

Since I know Flo coincidences somehow are a part of my life. It actually is a pretty big coincidence that Flo and I did not meet earlier! Before we met we worked in the same street for nearly a year, went to the same partys and concerts for a long time and both knew the same people. Another big coincidence is that Flo and I had the same dream of moving to the US for a long time. I actually remember that when we have talked for the third time he told me about the Greencard Lottery. He told me that he applied for it and that he would marry me when he actually got lucky! And a few months later he opened that E-Mail that changed our both lifes. If that E-Mail would have arrived two years later, I guess we wouldn’t have been that happy about it, because till then we might have bought a house, have kids and more things that make it much harder to move to another country.

But the biggest coincidence ever occured to me last week. I had to talk to my colleague Vanessa at her office and accidentally looked at her calender. What followed was this dialogue:
Me: Hey Vanessa, you and me are having holidays at the same time!
Vanessa: Really? Cool, but I guess you are not going to the US!
Me: I actually am. But I guess you are not going to California!
Vanessa: Hm, I am, but you are not going to San Francisco, right?
Me: Actually, I am!
Vanessa: But I am only staying in San Francisco for a few days and will then travel to Los Angeles and Huntington Beach!

What big a coincidence is it to do the same trip as one of your colleagues in a company employing 650 people! And how crazy is it that we are going on this trip nearly at the same time? Okay, San Francisco and Los Angeles are big cities, but you know what: I guess I will meet Vanessa in the biggest crowd you can imagine at Disneyland or something similar! If the coincidences plan on staying in my life for a bit longer, I beg fate to give me the best job ever accidentally! But I don’t want to tempt fate! Because the Greencard win already is the best coincidence that ever happened to our young family!
