Last weekend Sam and I celebrated our ten year anniversary. Ten years ago, after a Christmas holiday spent obsessing over the gorgeous boy I had snuggled up to watching a Margaret Thatcher documentary at the end of Michaelmas term 2005 (yes, we were destined to be!) I returned to Oxford and within a day we admitted to one another we had already fallen in love.
My life changed that day, and although there have been the inevitable ups and downs that come with growing up with the other half your heart, I am so, so thankful to have found the person who completes me so early in my life and to have already shared so many milestones - including Finals, my Call to the Bar and his MA graduation, to name but a few - with him.
As it is also our five year wedding anniversary this year, we decided to have a low key celebration and took a day trip to Camber Sands; a beautiful stretch of sandy beach in Kent. It being January in the UK, the British weather did as it does, but that did not deter us. We had a windswept but beautiful walk along a beach we shared with a few other humans and one very enthusiastic spaniel, followed by a delicious meal at the Gallivant (a restaurant we have been meaning to visit for years.
Delicious fish, sand in my hair and Sam by my side. Happy 10 years of us indeed.
