(I LOVE THIS SONG!!!)

So today marks us having been together for seven whole months.

I know you won’t read this until you get home from work, because you work super late nights to be the big provider traditional man in the relationship, but you will see it eventually.

When I first met you, and apparently was very mean to you, I didn’t think I’d end up being with you 2 years later!! And I swear I didn’t mean it, it’s my involuntary response to boys I don’t know, who approach me and start talking – I think SKETCHY and I turn and walk away. I don’t even remember it happening!

Flash forward a few months and I remember us being the first people at the Management Society barbecue, and sitting on the ledge talking to you while you started up the fire. You must have remembered me as the bitch who turned on her heel and walked away from you mid-sentence but you were nice to me, and I really liked talking to you.

And after it was all over, you came and took a picture with me in a toilet cubicle while we were scrubbing the barbecue grills clean and I thought it was really funny.

And then I was going to walk to the bus station alone but you walked with me, and it felt like I’d known you for ages even though I’d only really known you an hour.

I didn’t hear from you for a long time after that, but then we had the Management Society event at MaBell’s and you came. And I spent hours sat next to you talking, and it didn’t feel weird at all. And then that ended and we went out just to hang out and kill time, and I sat on the bench outside Catch with you until like 2 in the morning, and it felt so normal. There was always something to talk about, and it was so easy to talk to you.

I started spending most of my time with you after that, and we just went together really well. I knew you were on a fast track to becoming one of my best friends, but I had a boyfriend so I didn’t see you as anything more than that.

But thank you for bringing me to a lot of balls, and accompanying me to my hall ball. I’m so used to going alone to things in St Andrews, it was nice having a “date”.

After Christmas, everything with the person I was with fell apart and you were always there for me. I remember being bummed and not wanting to leave my room, but you convinced me to go out and I always had so much fun with you.

I remember going to parties, going to Catch, and hanging out in my room until 8 in the morning, not realizing what time it was.

I remember the first time you came into my room before the DRA ball and waited for me to put my makeup on and get ready – I bet you didn’t think that would become a daily routine!!!

I remember all my friends telling me they thought you liked me, and me not really thinking much of it.

I remember when you wouldn’t dance with anyone at the DRA Ball, but you danced with me for a while, and I remember your face going bright red because you hate dancing.

I remember everytime you smiled at me and I’d feel tingles in my toes, which I still get!!

I remember you refusing to let me walk home alone every night, and walking for half an hour with me even though it was in the opposite direction to where you live.

I remember one night I got cold, and you held my hand to warm it up and I felt all fuzzy on the inside. And we held hands the whole way home, for the first time ever, and for the first time ever around you – I didn’t know what to say.

I remember the night before you went home to New York, we sat by the beach and I told you I definitely wanted to be with you, and not go back and try to fix things with my ex, and we were finally a couple.

I remember feeling like the luckiest girl in the world, and I still do! The thought crosses my mind roughly every 22.34 seconds.

If you had told me a year ago that I was going to be with you, and this happy, I wouldn’t have believed you but I’m glad it turned out this way because it feels right.

I know I’m going to be with you a long time (dare I say, forever?), and I love you for everything you are, and everything you do for me.

I added a looottt of new pictures.

And I don’t know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless

More from the end of summer

More from the beginning of third year

I can’t believe we’re already in the fifth week of university, it only really hit home when one of my lecturers started the lecture by announcing “So for your test next week…”

…

NEXT WEEK?!?!

ALREADY?!?!

This year is actually a lot more laid back than my second year, I have a total of 6 lecture hours and between 2 and 3 tutorial hours each week, compared to 4 hours of class x 5 days a week last year.

HALLOWEEN IS COMING UP!!!!!

I have a bumble bee outfit, but I haven’t decided whether or not I actually want to go out to any Halloween parties this year. I’m getting old. My idea of a fun night has changed dramatically.

I am now domesticated.

Or it might just be that I now have this monstrously large flatscreen TV in my room that just screams WATCH ME.

I’m not one to argue against the TV, so I sit on my bed, and watch it.

My room is so much more comfy than the freezing cold outside. And why walk outside to get to a party when the best (and most exclusive i.e. 2 persons only) party is right in your room and includes endless cups of tea and yummy snacks
