12 Years

That's right, twelve years today me and my Mr Bogert became a couple. I recall thinking at the time "well, if it doesn't work out, we only need to stay together until he joins the Commandos." which was his plan at the time (which changed considerably). Then I kinda grew attached to him :)

Mr Bogert when I first met him (with Anthony).

We have always celebrated the day we got together (even after we got married). We used to take weekends away or go out for big fancy dinners, then we had the small people so we could only manage a cinema date or a dinner at the pub down the road from us. This year, we don't even have time (or funds) for that, but it's still an important day. When Mr Bogert returns from work and the kids have gone to bed, we will have an in the house date night with a movie and maybe some hot chocolate :)

Mr Bogert is more lovely now than he was when we first met, and I'd just like him to know I appreciate him, even though we rarely have time to show it.

I love you Bogert Man :)
