Two new players looking to play!

It's an overwhelming amount of support in this community and I realize that I need to post with good details so my wife and I can hopefully link up with a group that is a good fit.

Game: D&D 5e
Group preferred: Online
Experience: Brand new - never played
Location/Timezone: US - east coast
Availability: weekends are best - can't play past 10pm on Sunday
Preferred role: Players (2 - my wife and I)
Game style: casual play would likely be best as were new?

Hello, is it okay If I live in the Midwest? I’d really love to play, also what are we talking to each other on?
