The Most Epic Love Story

The story of you and me! Slapped together in a simple and easy to read list just for Valentine's Day! Put on your seatbelts. We're layin' on the cheese nice and thick.

Okay. So this is where it all started. Yes. We met in a video game. Lol!

Via riftgame.com

The now f2p MMO, not the weird virtual reality thing you strap to your face and play erotic porn games on.

My Guild needed a healer. You weren't one...

But your friend was and, well, he was really good so we reluctantly agreed to let you join, too.

I guess you weren't so bad. We all ended up having lotsa fun together!

We didn't know it then, but you would eventually pub stomp your way into my heart.

And then when I stopped playing, we added each other on Facebook.

These were our first messages to each other on Facebook. Do you know how long it took me to scroll back that far? (Not that long I figured out that you can search for keywords). Also, why did it take me 6 days to reply to you?

I had just gotten out of a 4 year relationship, but we ended up getting flirty anyway...

...and started talking about visiting each other.

You lived in Australia and I lived in Seattle. I mean, what was the harm in just entertaining the idea, right? RIGHT??!?! NO HARM.. RIGHT?!

Well, it ended up happening and I went to you.

That's right. I flew across an entire ocean to meet someone I only knew online. Some of my friends were worried and thought I was insane. BUT I WAS CRAZY IN LOVE, MAN. THEY JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.

Good news: You didn't turn out to be a serial killer. Phew!

We ended up having more fun together than both of us had expected. Whoops!

And then you asked me to be your girlfriend.

I am not sure why there is a picture of Nicholas Cage, but there he is.

The 7,629 miles (12,277 km) between us didn't seem too far since we video chatted a lot.

This relationship was made possible by: Skype, TinyChat and overpowered PVP healers.

A few months later you came to the USA to see me! We went to Vegas.

I don't know what to write here.

And then we made the decision that I would move to Australia.

I was scared as F&$#@.

My visa was approved almost immediately. Crazy!

It was like this shit was meant to be or something! :D

I turned in my notice at work, alerted my family and friends and made final preparations. You made plans to fly to Seattle and escort me to my new home.

I was excited, nervous, scared, sad. Every emotion you could think of...it was like PMS to the 20th power.

But then the unthinkable happened. Two weeks before I was meant to leave... my mother passed away.

You changed your flight and flew out immediately to be there for me and my family.

Like... all of them.

No... like ALL of them

There are, like, 20 people not pictured here. I bet you were overwhelmed, but you were great.

Oh yeah. We can't forget about this guy, too.

And onto that plane we went. I had sold or given everything away...

All I had was you and these two little suitcases. (The cat stayed. He's allergic to spiders).

3 airplanes, 4 airports and over 20 hours later, I was in Australia with you.

We go on adventures together. Remember that time we thought it was a good idea to drive from Darwin to Brisbane? (and got a flat tire! lol)

Not sure if Barrens or Australian Outback.

You take care of spiders and bugs for me.

Even if some of them creep you out, too.

You take me to Starbucks because it reminds me of Seattle.

You're always looking out for me.

You try your hardest to make your way around a kitchen.

Emphasis on "try". It's the thought that counts. :)

I left Seattle to be with you 6 months ago. And here we are now.

Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and jump.

I'm glad I did. :)

Happy Valentine's Day. <3
