May 9th

12 years ago today we had our first date.

We took a bus from the university to a little tea shop where they have all sorts of gourmet loose teas and a small selection of cakes and fresh scones.

We both giggled uncomfortably when we couldn't think of anything to say so instead we just looked into each other's eyes.

We decided to walk back to the university. It started to rain very lightly but we just laughed and kept walking holding hands.

We stopped at a hotdog vendor and you bought us hotdogs that we ate in the rain while laughing and teasing each other.

It was one of the best days of my life.

I love you more everyday.
