The Good Things - Anniversaries

Linking up with Margot and Barbara again for The Good Things. This week it's anniversaries for me.

Different anniversaries mean different things to different people. Nick and I can't remember exactly when we first met, it was October 2001 in Derwent College at the University of York where we'd just started at undergraduates and lived in the same accommodation block. You meet so many people during those first few weeks at university, many you never see again, others are part of your life forever.

Our friendship grew over the next two years and finally, after some cajoling from friends we became a couple on 26th July 2003. Then three years and three days later, on 29th July 2006, we got married.

So we've been celebrating anniversaries this week. Last weekend we were in London, seeing a couple of musicals with tickets I got for my Birthday and for Christmas which deserve a blog post of their own. On Tuesday we went to Bill's for the first time, which has just opened a branch in York, and had a lovely meal. We'll certainly be back.

Sometimes I can't believe we've been married 8 years, sometimes it seems like we've been married forever. But then my parents celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary the other week, and Nick's will celebrate their 37th next month. Nick's grandparents have been married 61 years so we've got a way to go yet!
