I know I haven't blogged in a while, and I know some things look different. But we'll get to that another time. Because today is not about me. It's about that handsome guy. Trevor.
Today is Trevor's birthday. Since we're living in separate states right now (but hopefully not for much longer) I won't be able to celebrate with him in person until tomorrow. There is so much I wish I could do for Trevor today to show him how special he is and how much I appreciate him. It's been a long time since I've been able to afford to buy Trevor a really great gift. More often than not, I spend the days leading up to his birthday or other holidays wringing my hands, worrying about how I will be able to give him the kind of celebration that he really deserves. And time after time, holiday after holiday, he just smiles, never ever complains, and reinforces that it doesn't matter as long as we're together.
I don't know why it continuously surprises and relieves me, because that's just the kind of guy Trevor is. Always reassuring, always calming, always encouraging. If I'm a kite flying around in the clouds, he's the guy holding the string so I don't float away or get stuck in a tree. If you know us, you know how true that is.
Tomorrow I'll give Trevor his birthday gift, and it won't be what I wish it was (I promise it will still be a good birthday, Tims!) but if I had it my way, this is what he would be getting today:
Tims, I love you. Thank you for all that you do for me. I can't wait to celebrate YOU this weekend!
lovelovelove,
