Life as I know it

My life as I know it now began here, on 11th September 2010.

Lots of things changed that day

• Renouncing my old name and taking on one that's only fractionally less common than 'Jones'
• Accepting that I was now supposed to be an adult. I had a 'Mrs' in front of my name AND a mortgage
• Beginning to think about things like whether the ironing was up to date, how clean the fridge was and when the IT guy's next dentist appointment is

But what really changed for me was entwining my life with someone elses, and having a comrade to travel with through life's journey.

So even though I had been alive for 22 years when I got married, I feel like this is where it all began.
