11 months to the day

Back in 2007

We met in July 2007.

Best friends for 4 years.

Married last year, on the 14th of April, 2011.

We changed so much all those years as our friendship got stronger: he'd just flown in from Johannesburg - jobless, penniless, all his friends still in Brazil or London.
I was at university - jobless, penniless, my friends slowly leaving for their countries of origin.

We used to wonder the streets of Barcelona, a bottle of sangria shared under the sun, stretched out in the Ciutadella park, talking. Getting lost in the old town, splitting the cost of a drink in small terrazas hidden in stone squares. Two souls adrift, living off dreams of exotic places - or to be more honest: B regailing me with tales of his travels in the Amazon and Asia as I closed my eyes and let my mind fly.

Now we're changing together. 

*Random fact: the young lad in the background with a green Tee and cap? I met him on that first day I introduced myself to B. Fast forward 4 years, he was my husband's best man at the wedding.
