I met and fell in love with Jason while playing Call of Duty in 2023
I flew to Texas from Michigan to meet him in person. Terrified he wasn't going to like me
He did
We drove to Montana for a country music festival later that year and decided to elope in the mountains.
It was one of the best days of my life
3 years later and I'm still so blessed to be able to call him my husband
People said we were crazy. I didn't care cause look where we are now
Happy Anniversary honey
