Chronia polla

That's Happy anniversary in Greek (transliterated)...a little tribute to Toby's heritage!

Yep, yesterday we celebrated our 1st Wedding anniversary (13th September 2004). YEY!! Its so hard to believe its been a year already - the time has flown by proverbially!


These are some of things we did to celebrate:

  • We retreated as we had the house to ourselves and had a naughty but delicious Chinese meal with champagne.
  • We exchanged gifts - Belle bought Toby The Monty Python's Autobiography and Toby bought Belle a self-healing inner tube and some champagne (see above!). However, these were a substitute for the real present which has been delayed in the postal strikes!
  • We reflected on the last year and how we've changed as individuals and a couple.
  • We talked about the different memories we have of our time in Canada, how we've grown in faith and how much happier we are as people now we have someone to love who loves us equally.

We're so thankful to God for helping us to find each other & for blessing our time together. We've having the kind of life I only dreamed about, every day is amazing! The best bit is that its only just begun - finding the purpose for our lives and the potential we hold is so incredibly exciting I can only pray that we'll learnt not to compromise.

We have everything we want and I hope God can extend our love beyond our comfort zone. Part of life's fun is being challenged and exploring new things.
