14 years ago today we went on our first date and held hands as we walked down the beach.
For two people we couldn’t be more different. We have less than a handful of things in common with each other but, those we do are important. It’s important that you like the same dinosaur, right?
I still get butterflies when we kiss, or when I watch him smiling & playing with the kids and he doesn’t realise.
He knows exactly how I like my tea.
He buys me my favourite flowers for no reason.
I love that kisses me on the forehead when I fall asleep.
He was there when I crashed the car through the neighbours living room window.
And when I flooded the bathroom.
When I fell off the horse. And the bike. And the wall. And the kerb. And the ladder.
he was there when I superglued my eye closed. Laughing, but there. (A story for another day).
He’s seen me at my worst, and at my best & deserve’s a medal for going through 2 pregnancies with me.
Happy Dativersary! (totally a real word).
It’s been a pretty hilarious 14 years.
So, here’s to the butterflies. May there be many many more <3
