Brent and I have been married for a whole year. I keep wondering where the year went and how it slipped by me so fast. I think it is because I have never been happier and I have never laughed harder. We both have never been busier and never worked harder. (At least I think its true for the both of us...)
I was thinking of ways to remember our first year of marriage, and I thought I would just note a few stories of our first year of marriage and put a few reasons more that I have grown to love Brent over this year.
-On a Sunday, we came home from church early because Brent wasn't feeling too well. We hadn't been married very long at all at this point. We were sleeping on an air mattress until we could get a real bed and so we took it into the living room to watch TV together so Brent could rest. (One of the best idea's ever, by the way!) So, we were laying there watching lost when Brent got up to go to the bathroom. He came back and told me the toilet wouldn't flush but that he didn't do it. Haha, okay... So, a while later he said he was going to go try again. I hear him say, "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no." What? He just kept saying that when I went into our kitchen. There was a puddle coming from under the wall from the other side of the basement. It was getting bigger. So, we tried to mop it up and stop it with towels. Brent finally got ahold of someone from the place we rent and they came over with a vacuum to clean up the water. The plumber had to come and do a bunch of stuff. I remember not knowing what to do and that I couldn't freak out because everything was out of my control. So, I just sad and read a book at the kitchen table while our apartment was being flooded. (Don't worry, the apartment people were there at this point and out apartment is so tiny that I was just getting in the way. I really did try to help!) Our hallway, closet, living room, and kitchen all had water damage to them. But, things got cleaned up and everything was okay. Brent was so great in getting the phone numbers to call and in trying to clean up what he could.
-Brent is so patient. I like to be 'crazy go nuts' as he sometimes says and he just lets me be silly. Sometimes he is even silly with me. Brent takes my crazyness and handles it like a champ. I love him for that. He is the best.
-We have kind of a crappy apartment. Its small and cramped and doesn't even have a dish washer. I know, everyone says we will love the memories from this apartment, and I believe them, I really do. But, this apartment still stinks. We have had bug problems on a couple of occassions. We put in one of those ac units that go in your window and these tiny little flea bugs would come in and take over our living room. I hated it. And so did Brent. But he just would go Raid happy and try to destroy the darn things. We also have had ant problems. Ants were all over our kitchen. I was eating something when I looked down and there were ants all over that thing I was eating. I freaked out! Brent was at work and it was terrible. I called him and had a little melt down because I had just eaten some ants. So, Brent calmed me down and came home to take care of me. He didn't even go to work the next day to make sure he had killed them all so that it didn't happen again. Oh my hero! Seriously, it was awful. I can't even explain how terrible it was.
-Brent is so supportive of me. I knew he would be before we got married, but how can someone be so amazing? Brent always tells me that I am doing a great job in school and that I am going to be a great teacher. He knows when I am so frustrated with school and he is there to tell me that it will be okay. He knows what I want to accomplish and he so wants to be achieve my dreams. He is the best support.
-Brent takes random trips with me and does all of the crazy things I have in mind. We have been to the duck pond quite a few times and he seems to love going with me, even though I'm not always sure he is. Brent takes me on road trips when I don't want to be at home. Brent tells me he loves me a million times a day. (Maybe not that many, but pretty close!) Brent is my best friend in the whole world.
I have gone longer than I thought I would and I have a million more memories to tell. But, I will spare you and tell them to myself. :) I can't believe a year has already past, but I look forward to an eternity of years left to come. Happy first anniversary, dear!
