8 August 2013

Four years ago today.

On the 8th of August 2009 I made a trip to Manchester to bike all day with a friend, I was wearing cut off jeans and a vest. I didn't look great. When I arrived back in Leeds my housemate convinced me to go for a drink at a bar in town with her. I wasn't planning on staying out too long, just for one or two drinks to please my friend who wanted to get out of the house. I had my bike with me too, so it meant riding home. I really didn't want to do that too late. We were having a good time though! I ended up chatting to a guy. I never usually speak to people I don't know, so it was strange. But, he had cute hair, and we had the same taste in music. He didn't live in Leeds. I saved his number in my phone and spelt him name wrong.

A couple of weeks later he made the trip back to Leeds to hang out, I was nervous: 4 months after that I would call him my boyfriend, 10 months later we would be picking our first apartment together and 4 years later I would be writing this post. It's strange how things turn out, right?

Then & Now

Thank you Kate for making me go out that night. And thanks to Dixon for the last 4 amazing years, here is to 4 more.
