**Spoiler Alert*** Look away now if you are someone who gets totes emosh (Becky!!), dislike extreme levels of gushiness and vom at too much romance and lovey doveyness, as this post is gonna have a lot of this.
I'm celebrating something uber mega special this week. I'm making it a week long celebration because this time last year from the 13th to the 18th of May was a super exciting and ultimately life changing week.
I met this boy.....
See I told you it was going to get soppy! But I will try not to make too many of you vomit.
Mike I and have known each other since I was 16 and he was 20, in a non creepy MTV Catfish kind of way we were AOL Buddies back in the day when online chat rooms were safe (safer) for teens and you didn't get hit on by sex pests. We then had an intermittent friendship, purely online for many years via Twitter, Facebook chat and texts and then last year we decided it was time to meet in real life because we always got on so well and already "liked" each other. I thought being on Catfish would be a great way to meet but as Mike rolled his eyes at this, we decided to meet in Birmingham, and the rest is history. Since then we have been through a lot, 4 months separation while I volunteered abroad, a visit in India and an incredible 2 week holiday travelling and getting to know each other then coming home and lots of driving between Shropshire and Staffordshire before we finally found a perfect place to live and I get to see this face everyday, and it's a whole year later and I don't think I could be happier!
This boy is definitely my sunshine when the days seem grey, he makes every day special in so many ways and makes me understand what Love is.
Love is making your girlfriend a cup of tea every morning before she even wakes up.
Love is casually travelling anywhere between 30-4,000 miles to see the one you love.
Love is bringing Krispy Kreme donuts to cheer a person up after a long day at work,
Love is making the other half of you laugh at so many silly things, so that their face and stomachs hurt from smiling, and you can't breathe properly and doing this at least five times a day.
Love is looking goofy in Selfies when the other person feels self conscious in photographs...
Love is patience to wait for someone you know is worth waiting for.
Love is sharing everything about yourself, and trusting another to accept you just the way you are.
Love is not caring what you look like in the morning, or when you are unwell and seeing the true beauty in another.
Love is sharing special moments, planning adventures far into the future, and enjoying each day making them all into treasured memories.
Love is taking the risk to meet with someone you have had dreams about since you were a teenager and having them all come true.
