East Millcreek YSA

Trevor and I met in our singles ward. The East Millcreek Young Single Adult ward.

I was going through papers and I found the ward directory from when we met.

I remember getting this directory. I had to take it to work for my calling, so I could text people about the ward temple trip.

Jeff saw it, and some other guys who sat around me came over and they went through it and assessed each of the guys. The ones I should and shouldn't date.

They especially picked on the guys with beards. I know for a fact they made fun of Trevor for his. And they made fun of his last name - telling me not to consider that one! Hahaha.

I hadn't met Trevor yet - so I didn't think anything of it. Then I met that handsome bearded man at the dance, and we started to date... I was nervous to tell Jeff who this mystery guy was because of the beard bashing that had taken place.

Such good memories :)

Here I am. Very dateable, I'd say!

And here's Trevor. I've actually never seen him with this particular beard. His was way more grown out when we met.

Such fun memories. Glad I found this!

I See You And I Hear You

Trevor is the best ever in the whole world.

But… sometimes he kinda sucks.

Like, when he does dumb stuff.

He made me mad, kinda pretty a lot mad.

I had a lot on my plate, emotions were high and he tipped that plate right over.

He texted me the next day and could tell he’d blown it from my responses (I’m so transparent).

So he apologized.

I let him know why I was mad.

He responded,

“I see you and I hear you.”

HAHAHAAAA. How is that for defusing an angry wife?

We like watching the TV show Parenthood together. At one point the grandparents, Zeke and Millie, are having some major marital problems. They go see a therapist. The therapist instructs Zeke that when Millie talks to him, instead of lashing out or getting mad or not listening, he needs to simply say, “I see you and I hear you.”

The kids make fun of them for this, and it does become somewhat of a joke. That whole episode happened quite a while ago.

But today, while expressing how I feel, Trevor just said, “I see you and I hear you.” I was in the middle of texting him while crying and as soon as I saw his response I couldn’t help but laugh.

I seriously am so grateful for him. Even when he’s a putz.

Love,

Brittney

Baby Trevor

I was going through some of Trevor's baby pictures...

OH MY HEAVENS!

He is the cutest little baby I've ever seen!!!

And that blonde curly hair! 

I hope we have a little man that looks just like him!!

Every time I look at these pictures I get SO BABY HUNGRY! 

Love,

Brittney

Valentines Day

My parents sent me this amazing fruit and nut arrangement at work. I love getting stuff at work! I was really hungry that day and missed lunch, and this came at the perfect time. THANK YOU!

That night Trevor came home with a card and a red rose for me - the rest was to be unveiled later. He had been planning this whole thing for a while.

Before we went for the surprise, we watched a movie. We looked up "Valentines" on Netflix and picked a random movie. It was terrible. It was sad and not what we had envisioned.

Then we got all dressed up and ready to go to dinner.

Trevor took me to Tuscany!

 It is a nice restaurant in Holliday. Neither of us had ever been to such a fancy place. It was expensive! But the food was absolutely INCREDIBLE. And the service was impeccable. We had so much fun getting wined and dined and pretending we were rich and fancy pants.

After, he took me to the cave.  On the counter were the rest of the flowers and a wrapped box. It was from LUSH and had a bunch of amazing bath bombs in it. I've been telling him the whole time we've been at our apartment I wish I could just take a bath! So he took me to the cave where there is a bathtub and gave me bath bombs. It was so incredibly sweet and thoughtful of him.

It was such a nice Valentines day. I am so grateful to him for making it so special and wonderful.

Love, 

Brittney

2014 Winter Olympics - Featuring Trevor Schauerhamer

This is what our house was like on Sunday while watching ice skating at the Olympics. Trevor danced/skated all day long. 

My favorite is at the end he says, "thank you for your time." No, thank YOU, Trevor, for sharing this gem with the world.

I think 2018 is his Olympic year. He has 4 years to train. With moves like this, how can he lose?

Love,

Brittney

Park

I didn’t have the best day Thursday. Friday night, I struggled to fall asleep and when I did – I was awoken with a terrible pain in my stomach. It kept me awake much of the night. I was really worried about it, not to mention in pain.

I woke up tired and worried and upset Friday morning, and decided I was not going into work.

I had an appointment with my friend to get my eyelashes done (since my friend does it I barely have to pay – when I no longer have her I’ll be back to mascara. Sad day).

Since I was having a rotten day and in a bad mood, I decided getting out of the house was a good idea. She lives right by my work, 30 minutes away, so I schedule my appointments for during lunch or after work. 

Since I didn’t make it into work, I had to drive clear out to Herriman.

I pulled into her driveway, and couldn’t get my key out of the ignition.  Sometimes the steering wheel will lock – and won’t release the key or let you start it. You have to pull the steering wheel left and right really fast and hard and eventually it will release. I couldn’t get it to release.

I decided to go inside and get my lashes done, and hopefully by then Tim would release the key. I was afraid of getting locked out, so I jammed both doors to make sure they didn’t fully shut.

After my lashes I came back out and couldn’t get it to start. My friend tried and she couldn’t either. Her other friend was there, and she couldn’t either. I called Trevor up and told him the situation.

He left work to come try and get the key out and unstrand me. It took him 45 minutes to get there – Grass stain is barely moving these days.

I came outside and he had the key in his hand. I had pulled in, put the parking brake on but never put the car in park, which is why the key wouldn’t release.

Sigh.

He told me that and I just started bawling my eyes out. I felt so stupid. He had taken almost 2 hours out of his work day to come rescue me and nothing was wrong with the car, I’d just failed to put it in park.

I never do stuff like this. I’m not one of those ditsy type girls making these weird mistakes and failing to take care of things.

I cried the whole way home.

Love,

Brittney

Tim under attack

I came out of work to get in Tim to find this:

Once I unlodged it, it was the size of a parking stall. Crazy.

Love,

Brittney
