2 years on

Hi,

Tonight's blog is quite a special one and it's on the eve of a special day, it will mine and Priti's 2 year anniversary tomorrow of the day we started going out.

So to start off I'd like to wish my wife to be a very happy anniversary with many more happy years to come after we are married this year.

The whole blog will just be dedicated to this so hopefully those who read this won't get bored of me rambling on.

It started in September I began speaking to a girl I knew nothing about it began with simple messages getting to know each other and just seeing what the other was like as a person........ the same with the millions of people who meet in the world. Eventually it went from fb to getting each others numbers and the texting began cant even start to explain the number of texts per hour we would send, thus we found out a lot about the other and it built a strong trust. Soon those texts turned into phone calls we would talk whenever we could during work lunch breaks after her shifts and any other times we could find. So as the days went by I personally felt a stronger bond with Priti and realised that this could go somewhere not getting my hopes up too high as the last few months had not been that great for me in fact by this point I was ready to give up on the whole thing, so glad I hadn't.

So end of September came about and by this time I had found out enough to know I wanted to meet this girl who just makes me smile throughout my whole day to the point where people wonder why I am so happy. So I plucked up the courage to suggest meeting somewhere local between the two of our houses to which she agreed without much hesitation, it was defiantly a day to remember, fast foward to 9th October 2012 a day that changed both our lives, I decided to go straight after work just down to traffic so we were talking on our respective journeys and the time was getting closer to seeing this girl I'd only seen in pictures til that day. So i parked up nerves all jangled thinking about what I would say or how I should act yet at the same time I felt this seems so good by phone and text it can't be any different in person right. Walked up to where we agreed to meet up and that first glance I made at this beautiful girl just smiling and walking towards me.......... something just clicked and all I could think was I know she is the one for me.

Our first date was very simple a long walk then to a local shish place in the area, we sat down started talking and shared a plate of chips, it seemed perfect. As the night went on we started understanding each others ways what we both did work wise what our interests were etc and without having to say a word we had both decided that we wanted to be together, so began the journey it was a great evening out and where time went we didn't even realise. Time came to go home and I offered to driver her back this gave us more time together which felt amazing. She went home and I soon enough I received a nice text saying how nice the evening was.

Next day we began talking about everything we found out more and more about each other and it just took off from there. As all couples we have had our ups and downs but each event in our lives has only made us stronger to fight the next thing.

As we are about to get married and the date gets closer, I've learnt that your partner isn't just a person you're with they are your best friend, soul mate companion, company, person to turn to in rough times and the one person who will understand anything and everything about you to the point where you never have to say a word to each other and you've had an entire conversation. I've never had this before in my life and will only have it with Priti no one could and would make me any happier (parents the obvious exception) so as the day comes to my longest relationship and my ever lasting one, I just want to thank God and Priti for being there when I needed them and keeping me strong, showing me things I could not always see for myself and helping me understand my potential.

To close this blog I just wanted to say I love you Priti Patel and cannot wait to spend my life with you xx
