i feel it in my fingers, i feel it in my toes...

i finally found a RARE photo

from when we first met

all those years ago

wasn't he handsome?

*swoon*

i was 21

he was a worldly (to me) 28

softly spoken

articulate

funny

did i mention handsome?

i knew he was husband material 

about two minutes after we first met

(i don't know why it took so long)

he was washing dishes, vacuuming and reading a bedtime story

to my friend's young daughter

for him it may have been when i used to turn up in
 fluffy, cow-shaped slippers...

late at night...bearing ice cream...

offering to spare him of the agony of two-fingered keyboard poking

with my speedier typing of his uni assignments

i remember moving in together just weeks after we started dating

it never felt crazy or impulsive

there was simply no other way to be...

except together

that was sixteen years ago

 and today marks the day we sealed the deal

on 22 September 2001

since then its been a wondrous, beautiful journey
travelled together

made lovelier, livelier and louder now

with the addition of two cute and crazy little people

let the magic continue...

happy anniversary, my darling

yours forever
