Our Anniversary! Time flies.. time flies indeed... I remember very well that day fell in love, for the first time very deeply. It was more than two years ago already, a hot day in the beginning of August... There he was; a funny, handsome and young Bedouin man with a smile from ear to ear. That was the moment when each other’s eyes met and we both felt the tingling feeling in our stomach’s... It started, the spark was there..... and still is! Slowly in the following weeks I started to get to know him, was he really interested in me or was it just a game? It turned out, that he was extremely deeply in love with me... And I shared this feeling with him, even though I. was too shy to admit it in the beginning. At one night, in Petra, we got together in private and spoke to each other about our feelings for each other. I remember his voice was shaking and he was nervous while admitting he really is in love with me... I wasn’t doing so much better; I hardly was able to speak as result of being just as nervous while admitting my feelings for and to him. When we realized we were both in love with each other... it happened; we kissed, I will never forget that very special moment... Slowly we got together more and more however, I knew I had to leave back to Holland in just a few weeks. That thought was heart-breaking, knowing that I would have to leave him behind.. He knew about this however, we tried to spend our days together as good as possible. As well, we both wanted to be sure to stay together even though we would be thousands of miles separated... We decided, and on the 26th of August 2014 our relationship started. It was one of the best days of my life and never could I be more happy to be with someone like him. The day I left, was heart-breaking even though I knew I would come back for him (and he knew this, I told him so). In Holland, it felt like my heart was ripped out and soon I started to make a plan to get back to him as soon as possible... And it worked, even though turbulent times occurred, we both did not gave up. I stayed with him for one year however, I did needed to go back to Holland again in order to finish my study. This again, was a painful knowledge... In 2015, July, I went back to Holland in order to finish my study and to fight for a decent future with him... He fought as well, in his way, to make himself and his life better in order to build something together with me. February 2016, I returned back to Jordan... this time: permanently! I graduated and my diploma is now in my “pocket”. I now had a somewhat solid base, and a man who truly loves me for who I am and vice versa. Today it is the 26th of August 2016, which means that it is now our 2-year anniversary of “being together”, it was the moment “our adventure” started. And I hope, this adventure never ends <3 Mishael Eid Ali Al-Bdoul: I love you with all that I have, you were and are worth everything! May strength, trust and love continue to fill our marriage and may luck and good lessons fill our present and future together.
