Online Games Lead to Love

We share the love stories that residents shared with us for a romantic weekend.

Campbell Patch's "Share Your Love" contest received such great sumbissions that we decided to share those stories all weekend-long.

Our next love story comes from Campbell Mom Squad newest member Nicole Salacain.

Here is her story.

To be honest our story is kind of embarrassing but everyone seems to love it.

When I was 12 I played games online (before there was really internet, there was the Imagination Network...I think that's what it was called) and my husband and I used to play games online together (he was 14). We started writing letters to each other (snail mail my friends...I didn't have internet in my house until I was 15) and we continued via email once we got internet and remained friends throughout the years (he living in New York and I in California).

We lost touch a bit my first two years of college but reconnected when I received an email from him. We have always been friends but the summer between junior and senior year of college I spent the summer in Boston with my best friend and decided to pay him a visit in New York...

A little romance blossomed, a 2 1/2 year long distance relationship and now 10 years later we've been married for five years and have two beautiful babies together!

I am now 30 and I've known my husband for almost 18 years and I learn more and more about him every day!
