First Anniversary!

When I was walking to the city centre on December 13, 2005, I was headed to meet up a friend I knew from his emails. We had been writing emails nearly daily for two months and now we had decided to meet.

It was a beautiful evening, it was snowing. A perfect evening for a Christmas Carol sing-a-long concert. And meet someone special.

When I recall that evening, I recall being complitely relaxed and at ease as I waited for him to arrive (I'm early everywhere; I was even born 14 days before due date). I viewed the people gathering around the church and ready to go in. Then he, a tall guy dressed in black, showed up. I thought, "Wow! I could see myself spending time with him!"

We said our hellos, went to the church and found seats. We talked all throigh the 15 minutes before the concert begun. It was so much fun to sing the familiar Christmas songs and soak up to the Christmas feeling. It was the first time we both sat inside the City Church, a beautiful brown church, which is locaded at the centre of Jyväskylä's busy centre, right next to the shopping street.

After the concert we walked a short walk to a coffee house, got tea and sandwiches and talked all though the night - we were among the last to leave the coffee shop! That has never happened to me before...

We walked pass the church, talked about many things and admired the snow; it was snowing again. It was near 10pm when we said our goodbyes and decided to meet again. I walked on air all the way home, thinking, "What a guy!!!"

That's the story of our first date, the day we met and how we became a couple. It was one romantic evening, and I smile when I recall it. It's quite amazing that it was just a year ago! These 12 months with him have flown by so quickly.

Naturally a lot has happened over our first year together. It has been fantastic to get to know him better, seeing his happiness over his new job; being there next to him when his godson was born and then babtized; spending time with him at our cabin and at his aunt's; meeting his family and friends; introducing him to some of mine; admiring guina pigs together and then owning two of them... That's just few.

As we'll celebrate our first anniversary, I already know that I want to be with him all the days I'm blessed to have in this lifetime. The love we share is a blessing and a precious gift; I'm grateful for it each day. Year ago today I didn't expect to meet the man I'd fall in love with - agess the old saying, 'you'll find love when you'll least expect it' is true! And I'm one lucky, happy woman.

Here's to a another wonderful year together! =)
