Moore than Meets the Eye: My Love

Anniversary

Three Years!!!

4:51 PM

This guy.

I'm forever grateful I married him.

I know I'll be saying this every year, but we continue to know each other better and better.

Growing up can be difficult, but I'm SO glad I get to go through it with Jensen.

He's so positive. He's taught me to look at life in a more optimistic way.

I feel like I've become more mature and confident in myself since we've been married.

I know he's ALWAYS there to support and help me.

He's also there to be fair and objective to teach me things about life which I really appreciate, because he knows it will make me more happy.
He's humble and patient with me. And vise verse haha ;-)

Also, if anyone knows Jensen well, they know that he is the king of quotes. I swear he watches something ONCE, and he know ALL the quotes. I have no idea how he does it!!
He remembers the most random phrases too. Quotes from commercials, movies, TV shows, what have you. He has a very quick, serious, and sarcastic sense of humor.
Which I find hilarious (obviously) and I wanted to be like that too.
I admire how he never gets offended easily, which is something I have been working on (such a girl thing to do right?? And I didn't grow up with brothers)
Now I have to say that I'm much better at being sarcastic and can totally think quick on my feet like him :-) It's so funny because I was terrible with quotes before we were married. I could barely remember anything.
I was really slow at quoting the few lines I could recall, but it's really funny and amazing how you can totally change the way you think. We've had lots of good laughs :-)

I also really love that he's a great communicator. I wasn't before we were married, and I'm still working on it. But I've definitely improved with that too.
Even though learning can be hard sometimes, I'm thankful that I get to learn and grow with him.

I love that he is my best friend. We can talk about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Anything gospel related, stuff about life and marriage, etc. I even talk with him about my makeup, hair, and nails. And he has no idea about any of that stuff but still listens sweetly. And I do the same when he goes on about sports and starts speaking football/basketball vernacular. I've even made an effort to know basketball players, since I care more about that than football since he's a basketball player.
We have funny nicknames for some of them haha.

I love him so much. Can't believe how blessed I am. So grateful I chose him for eternity. I don't know how I'd survive without him. I need him. Always.
And I know that he needs me and he loves me. We are perfect for each other.

Now here are some pictures!

This was our present to each other this year!

It's from the tiny little Silhouette Studio on Main Street.

I wanted something timeless and that would last forever (they even give you an extra copy just in case).

And it was definitely cheaper and more classy looking than the caricatures.

I love seeing the fall decor!!

Haunted Mansion is legit right now. Not sure I'll like it as much without the scary Nightmare Before Christmas theme.

(I think it's really spooky right now cause of the spiders!! Eeee!)

We went to the beloved Cheesecake Factory for our anniversary as well. I had been telling Jensen for like the past month that I've been craving fried mac and cheese.
I ate so much. It was wonderful. Such a lovely anniversary!

P.S. Yup. I said sayonara to my blonde hair! FOREVER.
I didn't like it the first day I got it done, but then after a week I really started to love it.
I was so sick of seeing my dark roots as a blonde like even a week after getting my hair done. I couldn't take it anymore! So now I LOVE MY HAIR COLOR.
I actually cringe a little looking at pictures of me blonde because I actually feel so much prettier as a brunette.
I know. It's crazy because I was blonde for so long.
I thought I was "prettier" as a blonde. NOPE not anymore.
I love how natural looking it is and Jensen says it brings out my green eyes :-)
This is me. I was born with this color. So now I'm owning it.

Stay Classy,

My Love

Here are 5 different things (out of 3298432) I love about Jensen (I think I'll try to write 5 new things every anniversary...if I remember):

1. He's always willing to help me with whatever I need. He will drop his homework/studying/craziness and help me. That means a lot. I thank him and tell him how much I appreciate his help (and I should probably thank his parents for teaching him well

:-) )

2. I love the sweet notes he leaves me. There are days when we just hardly see each other so the little notes make a difference. And he's sentimental with notes too. I left him a sweet sticky note one time on his giant water bottle that he keeps in the fridge, and that was like...2 weeks ago er so. And he still has it on there ha ha. I even asked him one time if he purposely turns the water bottle so the note is facing you when you open the fridge and he said yes. Aww :-)

3. I love how he knows me so well. It seriously is about the little things in life. When I'm sad he will always ask me, "Do you want me to turn Friends on?" How adorable. The other night he told me that he was trying to get his homework done so he could watch Dancing with the Stars with me, because he knows I like that show too. There are other examples too. Basically, he just remembers such little details about me and I love it :-)

4. This sort of ties in with #3, but he tells me that I am the center of his universe. Um, that is like, the best feeling ever. It's hard for me to think that when I was in high school I didn't want to get married until I was in my late 20's. Clearly, I just did not understand anything. I can't imagine not having Jensen in my life. He tells me that every thing he does is for me. He goes to school for me, works hard for me, always trying to make my life easier. I can't believe how selfless he is. I don't know how I got to be so lucky.

5. I love that I can be so funny/weird around him, because he's the same way (takes one to know one right?) I says certain words and phrases with him that I made up and he says them back to me, instead of thinking I'm bizarre and not going along with it :-) It's precious.

I love him dearly :-)

I decided to give my blog a makeover. Why is pink, black, and white and even a hint of gray such a cute color combination? I've always loved those colors together. Anything with pink, really.

We had a wonderful anniversary. We went out to Olive Garden (my favorite restaurant ever). And I surprised Jensen at work with balloons in my hand :-) His reaction was priceless. He got kinda wide eyed and couldn't believe what he was seeing for a second! So it was nice to see his little desk and stuff. Normally I wouldn't be allowed to go past the front lobby, but I coincidentally walked in at the same time as he manager and she let me come up with her and see Jensen :-)

Well, today is very cold and rainy. It's already snowing a ton in the mountains. I can't stand the cold. I miss the San Diego sun. Jensen laughed when I told him I'm going to be a snuggly teddy bear and hibernate for six months.
He thinks I'm kidding. Joke's on him.

Bye honey, I love you! See you at Conference in April! Lol

Life goes on, and I still have to go to work this afternoon.

I'm so glad this semester is halfway over now. It's been insane. Jensen taking 15 credits and working 30 hours a week is miserable. I rarely see him. We have such a conflict because one on hand, we want to be done with BYU like, tomorrow. But then we miss each other dearly.
So it's like, be done with BYU quicker and never see each other? Or be done a semester later and spend a little more time together now?
We're thinking the second one. The first one is too hard on us. We need time together and have a little fun while we're up here. Both options are really hard, but we hope the second one will be just a little bit more bearable.

It was yesterday when this really hit us that we can't cram in more classes in one year and never see each other. We had such an incredible anniversary that yesterday I started bawling when Jensen was about to go to work because we wouldn't be able to see each other until after 9pm when I got off work. Jensen was even getting a little teary eyed. It's really hard for us to be away from each other all day. I just love being with him so much and being held in his warm, loving arms. Even if he's just here doing homework, at least he's HERE.

Tracy, you guys have been married a year now, aren't you used to being away from each other all day?
NO. He is my life. I'll probably never be used to it, but I have to live with it anyway because we still have to go to work and/or school.

Sorry, I didn't mean for this post to be so sad. I know we need to do what needs to be done. It's just hard sometimes.

Here, let's try to end on a little bit more positive note :-)

I love him so much.
