For Carl and I, today is our fifth anniversary. Five years together. That means I have actually been with him a quarter of my whole life.

People always ask us how we first met, or how we first started dating. I’m not going to write a long boring soppy post about how it all happened, but I will give you the basics. I met Carl at a youth group get-together, and we had to watch some boring movie so I sat at the back with a few other people who were bored. Carl had a mobile phone and me being the inquisitive girl asked to look at it. I went through all the menu’s, games and phonebook, before adding my number just as a joke. Weeks later I hadn’t seen Carl again, when one day out of the blue he called me. At first I had no idea who he was, I was thinking “who is this?”. After that first phone call we had so much to talk about, and so the every-night calls began. Just over a month later we eventually decided to meet up. We had already shared so much on the phone it felt right to be with him. We met up and since then we have been together.

On the left are the tulips I bought for him, because they are his favourite flower. The theme of this website is also tulips because of that reason.
