Engaged to my true love ^_^

Engaged to my true love ^_^

After a bitter relationship finally ended in late 2004, I gave up on love, life, and my dreams of finding happiness with someone special. I grew a lot during this time of reflection and it would help me prepare for what was to come.

On December 25, 2005, I received World of Warcraft from my younger brother Ed (Reylan -- Horde). Still bitter from my previous experiences with these types of games I reluctantly opened, installed, and beheld a world full of wonder and adventures to come. Fascinated, I created a night elf hunter so I could collect rare critters around the world of Azeroth! But no matter how much I played, leveled, or how many rare critters I acquired, I was never happy. Several months went by until I finally started to consider leaving for good until one night I was invited to join a group in the Arathi Highlands for a few quests in Stromgarde Keep.

During this perilous adventure, I made short conversation with a paladin named Mcallen in the party who seemed 'curious' as to why my Night Elf Hunter was wearing cloth items at level 41. (OMG! Noob!) After several feigns, potion, rezzes, and completed quests, the group parted ways but Mcallen and I continued to talk till dawn. We decided to meet up the following evening to quest and hang out together. The day we met was May 15th, 2006.

The next night, I rushed home from work happily to meet and be greeted by Mcallen. After another long night of talking, questing, crying, etc., I felt a strange feeling growing inside me, as did he. A week later, we exchanged phone numbers and heard each other’s voices for the first time. After a couple months we decided we should meet face to face outside of the game we knew and loved.

Three months later, we met face to face in the beautiful Garden of the Gods, Colorado! At the time he was living in California while I lived in Missouri, so we decided to meet half way since we're poor college kids. The moment we made eye contact at the Garden, I ran from my car barefoot and kissed him happily in the pouring rainstorm. From that moment I knew we'd be together forever!

On December 25th, 2006, while visiting his family in Colorado for the holidays, he proposed at the very spot we met only a few months earlier. It was the happiest moment of my life. By springtime he had moved out of California to live with me in Missouri, we've celebrated our first anniversary, expanded our family of fuzzy critters a.k.a cats Solace (the queen), Samson (the prankster), and Saraiya (the kitten), and we've shared many hysterical adventures together since then.

So if you are playing on the Feathermoon realm, and happen to chance seeing a platinum haired night elf hunter named Akamiya charging into the flames of battle with her devoted pet wolf Tsubasa, while accompanied by her noble dwarf paladin named Mcallen, say hello and believe in real, true love!

It can happen to you too as long as you don't lose hope...
