Yesterday marked eighteen years since my husband and I first got together following a nerve-wracking date at the cinema. Eighteen years later and we continue to merge our anniversary and valentines by celebrating and sharing cards and gifts on the 13th rather than the 14th like most.
Once again I’ve been spoilt rotten with a cute card, a beautiful bouquet of roses, and an obligatory Terry’s Orange. I was also gifted a stunning rainbow-tie-dye-style scarf which I plan on wearing to work later in the week. Although it was a working day for us both, we celebrated by sharing a home-cooked meal and enjoying a couple of episodes of ‘You’, a gripping Netflix series we are currently mid-way through watching.
I can’t believe that in two years’ time, we will have been together for twenty years – where on earth has the time gone?! One thing is for sure, it’s been the best eighteen years of my life and I look forward to the next eighteen years and more.
