The day itself was like any other Sunday we've ever had except that We had just moved into our new home the day before and were quite tired and people kept wishing us Happy Anniversary and giving us cards. We were still on duty for Tea and Coffee at church which we still joyfully served at. It was so great.
However before I go on, Let me take you back to the very beginning.
Mark and I met on the first day of sixth form in 2004 (12th & 13th Grade that is the stage before University) I was seeing someone at the time but something attracted me to him quite instantly. We sat next to each other and I was so surprised how easy it was to talk to him.
By October of that year, The relationship with my first ever boyfriend had come to an end and I was getting over that so nothing ever happened with us. As the year progressed, we became friends and by the 2nd year we had become quite close.
It was towards the end of sixth form that things started to hot up in the sense that we were content being friends at least that was what we told each other when in fact it was getting really difficult not to blab about how I felt to him. I started to get mixed messages from him. One day I could stake my life on the fact that he liked me because of how he looked at me and another day that look in his eye would have vanished. The end of Sixth form came and He was preparing to leave to do his Apprenticeship and I still had One more year to kill at Sixth form.
One evening, We were chatting on msn and I felt this courage and enquired about whether he had met any other girls over there, to which he replied "No".
He enquired the same from me and I told him that I hadn't.
After that, The stakes seemed higher for some reason, I began my ascent to victory or descent to heartbreak. I didn't know where I was going to end up to be honest!
Tentatively, I began
" Hypothetically, Would you freak out if I told you that I like you as more than a friend?"
" Hypothetically, I wouldn't because I like you as more than a friend, but would you hypothetically?" He said.
"Hypothetically, I do. Since we've established that hypothetically, What do you want to do about this new information?" I replied with the hugest smile on my face.
" It'll be long distance for a while but I think we could make it work."
"Yes, lots of people do it all the time."

And that was how we began our journey.
