Happy 3rd Anniversary To Us!



This next quote hits home for me and how I feel about our relationship. From the beginning, Trev has always seen things in an entirely different view and given me fresh perspective on a lot of things I never would have thought about before. I think that is part of what attracted me to him from the start! Together we find some sort of perfect balance. And we never expected to end up together... and look at us now! Feeling so blessed and happy to be together.

So, I have been trying to write this post for a couple days... I just can't believe its been 3 years since we got married! {Also, I was going to put the pics in a timeline.. but that's too difficult for me so you get them in random order! Haha} It is amazing to me that Trevor and I have been in each other's lives for 4 1/2 years and married for 3. Who knew when we first met Jan. of 08, we would be married with 2 kids now?! Haha, neither one of us did! We definitely weren't looking to get married at the time we met! We met while working at applebees together and began hanging out with mutual friends. I was totally infatuated with Trev's great smile and his sweet personality. He was also hard for me to figure out, not the usual jock/cocky types I usually found myself dating. We were totally just friends and we will both still tell you to this day, we would have never pictured us getting serious when we first started hanging out. Haha. But once we fell for each other, we did hard and fast. We are kinda opposites and I feel like we balance each other out perfectly. I am so thankful that I met Trevor and we fell in love. I cannot imagine my life without him and our boys. It has been a wonderful 3 years of marriage.. I have loved every amazing, irritating, hard, crazy, fun minute of it! I have learned and grown so much as a woman, wife, and mom. And as a couple we have grown tremendously. We have learned that forgiveness is key, communication is essential, to laugh through the times, and we have to always put each other first. :) Among a whole bunch of other things. Honestly, I find myself more and more in love every day. That realization that we are growing closer through the years, not drifting apart gives me such comfort. "If I had to do it all over again, I'd still choose you." <--- This quote makes me so happy. I would choose Trevor every time.

Haha. I love this. So true... well at least in our marriage. :)

*Babe, Thanks for a wonderful 3 years of marriage. I love you so very much. You are an incredible husband and a wonderful daddy. Here's another quote that reminds me of you, "I never knew how much I loved your father until I saw how much he loved you." Thanks for the amazing love you have for our boys. Thank you for providing for our family and taking such great care of us. We have had a great few years, and I am looking forward to a lifetime more. I love you. Happy Anniversary.*
