Fated Meeting

As of 2004, (in Germany) my boyfriend (at the time) started playing World of Warcraft. Every time I went to his house he would be playing this game. So of course I hated the game and wasn’t interested. Then one day when he went to work, I sat down on the computer and started making a character. A night elf.

I logged into game, and I thought it was the coolest game ever. Especially the world graphics. Just everything about it I loved. From then on I played every day and every night, leveling, etc.

Then in 2006 I moved to the States (where our family is from). Of course I had to buy new computers, had to buy the whole game again, had to make a new character and everything. So I randomly picked a PVE realm. As I was leveling I obviously made lots of friends.

When I was about level 70 I met someone special. He helped me with a lot of things. And taught me a lot of things about the game that I didn’t know before. Raiding every night, we started talking on voice chat every day and every night. Pretty soon it wasn’t just about the game anymore. He started calling me at home, me calling him, etc. Then one day he said, “Let’s meet up.” So we did. He flew all the way down to see me, stayed for a week, and that’s when we really just fell in love. Down the road, he came down to live with me. After about almost a year of being together happily, we had our first baby boy. We are planning to get married at the end of 2009. We took a break from the game when the baby was born, and now we are back for the Lich King. We are now on a new realm starting from scratch and enjoying ourselves. I think it’s just amazing that I had to pick that realm where I met him. How things work is amazing!
