A Lucky Break

About four years ago a friend of mine introduced me to World of Warcraft. I started out with a night elf priest on the Uldaman server. Maybe a year into me playing the game my brother moved back to the states after leaving the navy (Flamedancer, warlock on Runetotem). He was in a guild at the time named Time Off. He was at my house one night running a dungeon and had voice chat on with only speakers. All of a sudden I heard a new voice come over the speakers, and from that moment on I was hooked on the guy who had spoken. I transferred my priest to the Runetotem server and joined Time Off.

I met a lot of really cool people in that guild. Some have become friends out of game also, but the real excitement was when I finally got to meet, run instances, and talk to Carolynn (actually a guy -- he just has a female character). We spent two years talking, starting new characters together just to have "alone" time to talk with no one else knowing who the characters were and it ended us up with four max-level characters each.

In January of 2008 he flew down from Minnesota (this would be the first time we met in person and first time we had even seen what each other looked like). He arrived two days before my 26th birthday and was only supposed to stay for a week, but he never went back. Now we have a beautiful son together and have been married for almost a year. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for this game I wouldn't have met and married my husband, and had a beautiful son. We are still going strong, still playing World of Warcraft, and still enjoying the time we spend on the game together. Now we roll with Plays Well With Others and he plays his tankadin and I play my healadin and we have a blast doing it.
