Here’s the 1st of 21 little random facts about our lives together....

1. We met at work back in 1997...

#21years #anniversary
2. It was love at first sight for me! I instantly stopped seeing this other guy I was ‘hanging out’ with, the absolute second I saw Leigh the first time. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart">
3. Leigh was far too shy to ask me out, so after a few months, I lost patience and organised a & #39;night out& #39; with workmates as a way to see each other outside of work. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Yellow heart" aria-label="Emoji: Yellow heart">
4. Our first https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💋" title="Kiss mark" aria-label="Emoji: Kiss mark"> was that very night....12.12.97 and at risk of being risqué, we spent the night together and haven’t been apart since. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Purple heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple heart">
5. We kept our relationship quiet for a month, not knowing how it would impact us working together.
6. We moved in with each other after 7 weeks! This picture was taken the day we said “I love you” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Yellow heart" aria-label="Emoji: Yellow heart">
7. I cancelled going on an international trip with a friend #contikitour because I knew that Leigh was & #39;the one& #39;.
8. We were engaged (in Vanuatu) after 7 months of love together! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">
9. We eloped! Yep! Eloped. No parents, no family....just us and a few friends to witness. #noregrets https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧡" title="Orange heart" aria-label="Emoji: Orange heart">
10. We spent less than $1,500 on our wedding, including the dress and honeymoon.
11. We honeymooned on the Gold Coast for 2 nights, before I then headed to a work conference in Cairns (solo).
Nothing& #39;s changed much in 21 years https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">, I still work like a maniac, it& #39;s just how I roll. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💙" title="Blue heart" aria-label="Emoji: Blue heart">
12. Our lucky number! First kiss on 12.12 and it& #39;s forever been a fave since. #12 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💟" title="Heart decoration" aria-label="Emoji: Heart decoration">
13. We both come from & #39;broken homes& #39; with single mums raising us. It evoked a lot of communication early to align values in our marriage that hold strong today. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Yellow heart" aria-label="Emoji: Yellow heart">
14. We have worked together on and off for the bulk of our time together. I was even Leigh’s ‘boss’ for more than 6 years. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💙" title="Blue heart" aria-label="Emoji: Blue heart">
15. While I was the boss at work, Leigh has always been the boss at home - forever nagging me to pick up my shoes & put away my clothes! (nobody believes he’s the whip cracker - but he totally is). https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">
16. For the first 8 years of our marriage, we would spend the number of years married away to celebrate the milestone. 8 years, 8 nights! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Yellow heart" aria-label="Emoji: Yellow heart">
17. We weren’t sure if we would have kids because we were so besotted with each other! But 8 years in, we decided we wanted grandkids one day, so the rest is history! Kids were a must! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧡" title="Orange heart" aria-label="Emoji: Orange heart">
18. Once we decided kids were a must, we ‘attempted’ the deed and fell pregnant the very first try! #fertile https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Purple heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple heart">
19. Daughter 1 arrived safely and after a Caesarian birth, we were on strict instructions to not attempt for another child for 6 months. 6 months later, we fell preggers on the first attempt! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Purple heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple heart">
