I thought long and hard about whether to post a mushy tribute to our one year anniversary and decided I would. We aren't a PDA couple, we don't throw our relationship in people's faces, we aren't even officially "in a relationship" on facebook. But I thought that after such a good year, Adam deserved a post on this tiny little blog, even a post full of mush.
From the first week of uni, Adam was my best friend. It took us about two seconds to realise that we got on really well without really having to try. He wasn't someone I had to impress or please, I didn't have to pretend to know obscure indie films or the latest house track, I could just be me. We spent a lot of time together playing ridiculous drinking games and watching endless episodes of arrested development. I didn't live with any girls, so he was the next best thing!
It wasn't until second term when we both found ourselves single that we even began to consider what it would be like to be more than friends. It was a strange transition, working out what being in a relationship even really meant when we already saw each other every day and we already did everything together, but it was the best decision!
It's been a crazy and amazing year, we've moved from one house to another, completed first year and started second year, went on holiday to the beautiful Barcelona, traveled multiple times between Surrey and Suffolk to meet each others families and applied and got accepted onto year abroad programs. Something tells me next year is going to pretty crazy and amazing too!
Adam is amazing. I don't need a post on this blog to tell him that. He is literally the best person I've ever met, and everyone would back me up here. He can always make me laugh and I swear every time I'm around him I'm grinning. He has been a constant support this year through some pretty tough situations and he knows just when I want to talk and when I just need to be held. He's got this spark, this natural friendly optimism that means that everyone loves him! And so do I.
And he pulls the best photo faces, that's definitely a plus.
So here's to one year of being us. One year of being Sarah and Adam. Because this time it doesn't feel like I 'm giving up just being me. We don't wear matching outfits to house parties, we don't sync our work schedules or go to the same societies (good luck with the half marathon!), we are still our own selves, but better when we're together. And I love that.
Happy Anniversary Adam, I love you!
