A Letter To My Husband: 7 Years Together

amomentwithfranca · 2 November 2015 · 55 Comments

This is a letter that I wrote to my husband back in May when we were celebrating 7 years together. I know it is not a lot but for me feels like 20 years!! We have been stack to each other since we met and it has been the most beautiful years I have ever had! I hope you enjoy this letter! 🙂

Letter to Nick FI

Babes,

Today is our anniversary. It has been 7 years since my life has changed completely for the best because I married you. You have given me happiness everyday during all these years and especially a lot of love! You are not only the love of my life but also my BEST FRIEND.  You are not just a great husband but also an amazing father. I feel so incredibly lucky!!

Who would’ve thought that we were going to be a good match! Thinking back about the day that we first met in 2006, it was really funny. It was my first week at work and I was asked to help the IT Director (you) to organise and clear out the Server Room as it was all a mess! Yes this is something that you have never been good at: tidying up! LOL. I never thought that it was going to be so much work! I was actually thinking to myself: who is this guy so disorganised? Things sometimes happen for a reason. After all, that first week helping you with that task, the best thing of all was that I got to know you a lot. You were so funny, in fact you were hilarious. You made me laugh a lot. Your jokes were sarcastic and with good humour. You were very nervous at the beginning. In fact you were that nervous that you dropped a huge box full of styrofoam next to me trying to approach me. You turned immediately red but as usual you made a joke and it became such a funny and unforgettable moment.

I never thought that I would enjoy your company so much. I loved spending time with you. We were actually very good together. We were a good team. The more we spent time together the better friends we became. It is interesting but we were both on the same page having recently split up with previous partners knowing that we wanted to just have fun. We didn’t see each other as something more than friends. You were always there every time that we went out with our work friends. When I had too much to drink I always knew you were going to be there to hold my hand and help me. I knew that I will be back home safe if you were around.

I didn’t realise that this friendship was that strong until one day I was in trouble and I ended up not having somewhere to live. This was an important time for our story because you offered me a place to stay while I was looking for another place to live. I was incredibly grateful for that. Since I moved to your place things starting to change. After a month of living together we decided that we were good roommates and we thought: why not looking for a place to live as roommates. We were looking for a place with 2 rooms to share. We found the perfect place in a lovely area. It passed about a month and a half since we were very closed friends. When we got the keys for the new flat we stayed there in an empty room having a drink, laying down on the floor and feeling incredibly happy. We looked into each others eyes and had the most beautiful and romantic kiss. And that is it! Since that moment I knew, we knew that we were meant to be together. So we moved to the new flat but instead to sleep in each others rooms we slept together in one room, so we gained a spare room! 😉 Since that moment we have never been apart. We got engaged after 6 months and we got married in one year and half in May 2008. We had our first daughter in May 2010 and our second daughter last year in August 2014. Our lives have been a rollercoaster full of ups and downs but especially full of love, understanding, listening and caring for each other. We started our relationship as Best Friends and this way has always been the key to our relationship. This made it even more stronger year by year.

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road. It runs along the south-central part of the Lima coast. You can visit in the morning for a jog or in the evening to enjoy a relaxing walk. It is a very lively where people have fun in the open air..This is one of the best attractions on the coastal road. You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”. The monument to love was created by Peruvian artist Víctor Delfín. 6. 📸 Faro de Lima (lighthouse)7. 🎥 View of the Pacific Ocean from Barranco area where you can see Lima Marina Club, a members only club. .If you visit Lima, I highly recommend you to have a walk along this gorgeous area.
