Cardiff European Games 2009 (28th March)

We got GOLD for netball! We are the Champions!

And gold for other things too.

And I bought a really nice netball for 7 pounds. Score!

A year on...

I suppose being stuck in couple status for a full 4 seasons warrants some sort of acknowledgement, as much as I don't like publicising my private life.

So what has made this year so different? What are the special things that I should take away from this extraordinary 365 days?

We started out normal but it wouldn't be interesting without a twist somewhere and our twist came right at the beginning. And heck, if we can get over that, we can get over almost anything.

We progressed pretty fast, but that's what happens when you live 15 minutes apart.

We had the added benefit of living 30 minutes drive away as well. Hooray for highways.

Now the gap has grown to an hour's train ride away but if anything it's pulled us closer.

It's no longer the romantic dinners or the way you tried so hard to impress me that I value the most (although they make excellent stories). It's the way you listen to me even though I go on and on about people and things that have annoyed me throughout the day. It's how you put up with me and my moods and still don't get angry. And as selfish as it sounds, it's also the way you do the silly quasi-romantic things that I ask that keep me going.

To be honest, I don't know how you put up with me. But then again, you ask the same question of yourself. Same answer I guess.

I'm not at my most eloquent at 4am in the morning but it takes a bit of building up to say out loud in cyberspace that its been a year of beautiful memories and I wouldn't share them with anyone else but you.

And as I said, we communicate in the same way.
