34431 Facebook messages or how I fell in love

March 20, 2009: Facebook says this is when our friendship begun. I distinctly remember approving his friendship request. Back then I hardly had any Facebook friends that I didn't know in real life (or had known online for years). His name didn't sound familiar. We had no friends in common. But, his profile mentioned that he was a photographer, which I thought, could come in handy one day being a writer myself. So we became Facebook friends, and for a couple of years that was all.

Until the summer of 2011.

We started to interact. A couple of likes here, a nice comment there...while all the while I kept on wondering who that guy was. So after two years I finally asked: Do we know each other?

Three years and more then 34431+ Facebook messages later, turns out his photography skills did come in handy. He's also a great cook, buys me (Finnish)chocolate and stationary, takes me out on dates, likes to travel as much as I do, has great taste in music, shares my love for tv & film, and is not only a very talented photographer and art director, but a great 'roommate' as well.



Happy anniversary! Let's meet up tonight for a prosecco date xox
