Humble beginnings

HA ! I remember the time I used to stalk you on facebook (facebook was a Godsent )  . Looking through your profile pictures , figuring out who you hanged out with , where you lived ( google mapping your address) .All this whilst giggling to myself. Showing mom and sis my new crush - with your face enlarged to fit my laptop screen. I was sooo proud of myself . Never knew I was a pro at stalking . You had become my favorite subject :) and I had reverted to my worst nightmare - a girly teenage version of me!

I remember missing a heart beat when I saw you online - back in the day when MSN messenger existed. In my head , I'll be silently freaking out - " Do I make the first move??? Do I nudge?? Do I say hi?? what do I do!!?? " ... In the end our first conversation ever.. did not start with a nudge. Nope , not a hello or EVEN a HI .. it was...  a  poke. Nothing more and nothing less. And till this very day , all our meaningful conversations start with a poke . Oh yess , the good times..

I remember eyeing you from the corner of my eye at the gym . Yes it was UNIPOL. I'll be on my faithful cross trainer admiring you from afar. And each time you look my way , I'll straighten my posture , and run faster !! Man, I was a show off.

I remember bumping into you back in Uni . At the Hunter Centre. Slowly building the courage to say hi to you in person.  Admiring your long hair from afar with your big-ass earphones around your neck.

I remember selling you the "magic ticket" . That was the first time we ever met, and exchanged pleasantries. That time , I knew. Funny thing was  I wasn't suppose to be there, but somebody pulled out . I was dragged into selling tickets , wasting 30 minutes of my precious lunch break. HUH??!! or so I thought ... The universe was finally working in my favor :) The rest was history as they say.

The memories will stay.

The day you proposed , when I watched you get on one knee. In the dark, fumbling for the ring . I was gobsmacked . All these memories were rushing through my head. I knew back then , and I know now . This was it. 

Yeasss. I sound like the "overly-attached girlfriend" . Actually , no! the overly-attached-fiancee , thank you very much :) no noo.. seriously I'm not as crazy as I sound.  The kids will know that it was mummy that fell for daddy first , but oh well .

Thank you for being the love of my life. I do often reflect on how we met . I don't ever want to take you for granted. When I get mad at you for the lil things , this always gets to me.

Thank you babe for the wonderful 5 years going on 6 when we tie the knot. You've been a blessing , and I love you very much.
