A year and a half of smiles. :)

November 4: Today I'm grateful for the man I call my husband. Husband - isn't it strange that people go from dating to marriage in the blink of an eye? What started out as the weird boy in apartment 19 and I just talking has turned into something more than I could ever imagine. It's been a year and a half since Trevor asked me to be his lady, and somehow when he asked that on May 4, 2012, I knew deep down we would be together forever. Now, I can't imagine life without him. He is my best friend, my partner in crime, my emotional "punching bag", the father of our future children, my happier, optimistic half, the reason I work hard, the meaning behind my life. Trevor is the small tug in my heart that makes me want to go back to church so that I can be sealed to him for time and all eternity. I could never be without my T-Sean, no matter how much he frustrates me sometimes. He listens to my worries and my "what-ifs". Most men would have listened to my worries and fears and anxiety and ran the other way. But Trev didn't - instead, he is my voice of reason in life. Marriage isn't easy, people. My boss compared it to laying down on a bed of nails over and over again. Trevor is the reason why our marriage works half of the time. No matter how discouraged about life I get, he is the one who makes me smile, makes me remember the good, makes me feel those butterflies and that passion. I love him with every fiber of my being. I don't believe in "soul mates," but Trevor comes pretty damn close to being the more reasonable, fun mate to my soul. He puts up with my anger, he holds me when I cry, he puts up with me stressing about every little thing. Trevor has never forgotten to tell me how much he loves me, how beautiful I am, and how lucky he is to have me.  Trevor makes me want to be a better person. Looking back over the past year and a half, I realize how much I've changed for the better because of him. It's ok to slow down and smell the roses, it's ok to trust someone with your whole heart, and it's ok to be scared of the future. He's a fabulous husband and will be a terrific dad. Having Trev right beside me for the rest of my life, I know that I'll be smiling and laughing through all the good and the bad.

Love you, babe.
I don't say it enough, but I am SO grateful for you.
I'm SO grateful to be your wife, your best friend, the other half of you.
(Thanks for also putting up with my picture taking obsession, you da best.)
