“We don’t just get to grow old together, we get to grow up together – and that’s the real adventure”.

My favourite quote, the one that truly embodies our relationship, for my favourite day of the year. Happy 4th year anniversary to us! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you know our story, you know we didn’t know each other for very long before we decided to get married. Sometimes I can’t believe we’ve only known each other for a little over 4 years. But at the same time it feels like we’ve known each other forever. Because we only knew each other for a short period of time, there were a lot of things I never could have imagined would blossom into our lives since being together.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I never imagined that I, the one who wanted to be a teacher since the 2nd grade, would be running a business with my husband where we are constantly looking for ways to innovate and improve ourselves, our business, and the experience we provide out clients. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I never imagined that I, the girl who grew up in Toronto and is a city girl through and through, would be living in Guelph while my husband attends the local university – a city we both absolutely adore and a university where we’ve made cherished friends and met so many other amazing students because of our job. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I never imagined that this guy, the one who had his sights on computer programming, would fall in love with photography and change his major to studio art. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I never imagined that this guy, the one who hates dancing and married himself into a dancing-loving family, would be the one to start showing me dance moves we both try to attempt in the silliest ways. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I never imagined that this guy, the one who cautioned me while we were dating, “I’m very sarcastic and not sensitive”, would be such a charming sweetheart who is very intuitive to my feelings. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I never imagined that we, the ones who had a low-budget wedding because we were only engaged for 3 months, now invest in anniversary sessions every year to capture how we’ve changed and grown over the years. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Forever grateful for my partner in all things. Happy 4 years to us, Bebeko. Thank you for being you. I love you, lover!
