Happy First Year Anniversary!!!
This year has been insane...
I’ve had 3 different jobs, Trevor has had 2 (all within the
same companies, just different positions). We’re on our 3rd move (2
of which I’ve done pregnant). We’ve gotten (accidentally) pregnant. Found out
we’re expecting boy/girl twins. Bought a house. Taken trips, dealt with
personal struggles, made life altering decisions.
They say the first year of marriage is the hardest. The
first 4 months or so were pretty hard at times, I won’t lie. Learning to be
married isn’t always easy. Learning to live with someone from a completely different
background. Learning how to be a wife wasn’t always as intuitive as I expected
it would be. Overcoming certain expectations, understanding how I work, my
needs, and communicating those needs was a challenge I didn’t expect.
But one thing is for certain – I married the best man in the
world.
I thought I knew Trevor when we got engaged. I was terrified
of getting married, but loved him so we did it – got married.
I’ve realized now I didn’t really know him before we were
married. I did, to a degree, enough to know he is worth marrying – but I truly
know him so much better now. And I hit the jackpot with him.
He tells me he loves me and I am beautiful multiple times a
day. I kid him, because he isn’t good with words. As in, writing me love notes
or stuff of that nature. But the guy is amazing at reminding me he loves me all
day. He doesn’t do it in a routine, habitual way. Every time he says it so I know
he really means it. And he tells me I’m beautiful. Even now, when I’m hugely
pregnant with twins, swollen and fat and feel so unattractive – he tells me I am
beautiful. And I know he means it, because he looks at me in his Trevor way
with such sincerity.
He is so service oriented. He’s always willing to help a
friend, even if it is inconvenient. He over books himself, because he can’t
turn someone down. He serves me non-stop. He makes me breakfast every day,
which I can’t begin to say how much it means to me. With this pregnancy, his
thoughts are for my well-being from morning night. He puts himself and his
needs on the back burner every single day.
He’s happy. Seriously, he’s always happy. He rarely gets
moody. He’s solid. I’ve always loved how he’s such a happy guy, but never realized
what a true blessing it is in my life until after marriage. With all the
changes and curve balls life has thrown at us, this man has never ceased to
smile about it. He takes it as it comes and enjoys it. With as sick as I’ve
been this pregnancy, he has every right to get frustrated with me or at least
the frustrating situation – but he doesn’t. He continues to wake up every
morning and make me breakfast with a smile on his face. I love this about him.
I could go on and on. Trevor is seriously my best friend. We
have so much fun together, all the time. I am way more in love with him today
than I was a year ago when we got married. He makes me want to be a better
person. I still get butterflies when he kisses me, when he’s on his way home
from work and I can’t wait to see him. This pregnancy has been totally unexpected and
quite difficult, but it’s brought us closer together and for that I am so
grateful.
I’m excited for the next year, to see the joys it brings. We
will be a family of 4! HOLY COW!
Trevor Freaking Schauerhamer, I love you more than I can
say. You have become part of me. I still fall asleep at night thanking God that
you are by my side. That I am lucky enough to be your wife.
Love,
Brittney
