7. Finding Love through the XBOX

Our perfect love story all started with a single sniper shot!  Well I should say a few sniper shots, some grenades and a lot of late night gaming dates!  My husband and I met playing Halo 3 on XBOX 360.  I had been playing with my best friend when we decided to get into some online games.  We logged on and started a game with a few other people we were randomly grouped with by the game including a gamer named Jumms.  About half way through I kept hearing Jumms complaining about being killed, and I laughed knowing it was me he was mad at. At the sound of my laugh a couple of the players started to tease me, thinking that I was a 10 year old boy.  When I proudly admitting that I was a girl everyone went silent. At the end of the game Jumms messaged me and asked to play as a team.  We played a few more games that night and when I said I had to log off he said something that I will always remember. He said he had a really fun time playing and would like to play again the next night.  When I said I would, he told me to have a great night and as I was about to log offline, he asked what my real name was.  We exchanged names and he told me goodnight again.  We played every night for the next week and exchanged phone numbers. We started talking/texting and getting to know each other. Jumms lived in Washington and I lived in Idaho, so I figured it would only be a fun (short) friendship.  After receiving a dozen roses from him one night at work I started to hope for more. We talked everyday for two months before finally meeting and four months later he moved to Idaho to be with me!  We were married 2 years later in Vegas at the Little White Wedding Chapel and the best part is.... our XBOX 360 controller was our ring pillow!
