I am Amir . My wife Lina and I moved into our flat above the bookshop twelve months ago . Last week we sat by the window and talked about the year we didn't expect to pass so quickly . We didn't know the neighbours well on the first day . Did the bookshop owner welcome us ? Yes , he did , with a small plant for the kitchen . Did we hear traffic at night ? Yes , we did at first , but we didn't complain after two weeks . Spring didn't bring big renovations . We didn't paint every wall immediately . Did we fix the loose shelf in the hall ? Yes , we did , with help from Lina's brother . Did he stay for dinner ? Yes , he did , and he didn't leave before nine . In summer we didn't travel abroad because work schedules didn't match . Did we explore parks near the river instead ? Yes , we did , almost every Sunday . Did we invite friends for balcony tea ? Yes , we did , when the weather didn't turn cold . Autumn felt busy . Lina didn't change jobs , but she did start an evening course twice a week . Did I cook more often on those nights ? Yes , I did , and I didn't repeat the same soup every time . Winter arrived with short days . We didn't always leave the flat after work . Did we read more books from the shop downstairs ? Yes , we did . Did the owner recommend novels we didn't know ? Yes , he did , and we didn't return them late . When the anniversary came , we didn't organize a party . Did we buy a simple cake ? Yes , we did . Did we take photos on the balcony ? Yes , we did , although wind didn't help the candles . We didn't solve every small problem in one year . The bathroom tap didn't stop dripping until March , and we didn't replace the old rug until November . Did we feel at home anyway ? Yes , we did , long before the year ended . Looking back , we didn't measure happiness by perfect plans . Didn't questions and did answers appear in our daily talks ? Yes , they did , when we asked who forgot keys or when we last cleaned the windows . We didn't know what the second year would bring . Did we want to stay in the flat ? Yes , we did . We didn't need a bigger place yet , and we didn't forget why we chose the street with the bookshop in the first place .
