One Year
Happy 1st Anniversary, Cammie & Trey!
August 15, 2009
Cammie & Trey,
One year ago we witnessed your vows as husband and wife. We watched as you began your life together as a married couple. We stood by as Trey went off to basic training and then we prepared for your baby boy. We joined in your celebration over the birth of Gavin James and helped prepare you for the new roles of motherhood and fatherhood. We said goodbye again as Trey returned to training after a short leave home to see his firstborn. We rejoiced over Trey’s graduation and prepared for his upcoming deployment. We laughed, we cried, we said goodbye once again.
Time has flown by faster than I could’ve imagined. In one year you have taken on so many new roles. You’ve lived in separate continents. You’ve fought battles abroad and at home. Newlyweds living a world apart. I’ve watched you both struggle and stumble. Through frustration and heartache you’ve pushed through. You’ve fought your own private battles. Soon you will prepare for Trey’s return home. First, for leave, then for his return from deployment. Adjustments will have to be made. You’ll learn what it’s like to live as husband and wife again under the same roof. You’ll prepare for your future, make decisions regarding your education and your first home together as man and wife. AND baby.
If you weren’t feeling overwhelmed before you read all of that you likely are now. My heart has ached as I’ve watched you both struggle over the past year. Broken over my own advice or lack thereof, I’ve cried before God and repented for not praying enough and for acting before praying. But it’s one thing to make mistakes, another to refuse to learn from them.
It’s enough that society doesn’t rally for marriage. Add to that a marriage started with the many challenges you both have faced. Hopefully you both know by now that marriage truly takes three. Determine to make Him first both individually and as a couple. Read the instruction manual FIRST. It will save you both a lot of heartache. It’s always better to learn from the mistakes of others than from your own mistakes. But mistakes will be made. So learn from them!
I love the wisdom of our Pastor: be determined to out-bless each other and you are sure to have a great marriage. Be humble before the Lord and allow Him to work in you and through you. His Principles cannot fail if we choose to apply them. I pray this will be a year of tremendous blessing and peace for you.
Know that I love you. That your families love you. I pray that together, we will stand firmly on His Word behind you both. Last week I had a chilling reminder that this life will soon pass as I watched a friend bury her firstborn son. As I cried and prayed and cried some more and then prayed some more, I thought about how fleeting life is. And I pray that we will embrace it together and become a united front for both of you.
On your upcoming leave may you rejoice over this past year’s memories. Laugh together as you reflect on some of them . . . like Trey wearing “holey” jeans in preparation for Holy Matrimony. And may your battles be few . . . especially between Gavin and his Aunt Sophie.
I love you both. More than Diet Coke.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:28, 31
Beautifully said for a beautiful couple. Happy Anniversary Cammie & Trey! May God continue to bless your life together. Thank you both for serving our country.
Happy anniversery Trey and Cammie…Most people don’t g through what you two have been through in a life time..but you two did it in a year. We are so proud of you both! Loving and keeping you in our prayers…standing behind the both of you. Hear your mothers words..learn from your mistakes…it is alot less heart ache. But you remind us older couples most days of what love is about!
I LOVE your advice that they out bless each other, it’s true! I agree, most couples don’t face what they have in a life time, much less the first year. God has wonderful, precious things for this holy couple.
One year–wow how time does fly. Haven’t heard from you lately, Rena. Hoping all is well. And happy anniversary to Trey and Cammie.
Well said, Rena! Happy Anniversary Trey and Cammie!

What’s up i am kavin, its my first time to commenting anywhere, when i read
this piece of writing i thought i could also create comment due to this brilliant paragraph.
I visited multiple sites but the audio quality for audio songs existing at this website is in fact wonderful.
Hi there, all the time i used to check website posts here in the early hours in the daylight,
since i enjoy to learn more and more.
Paragraph writing is also a excitement, if you know after that you can write otherwise it is complicated to write.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter
to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
I just could not go away your website prior to suggesting that I actually
loved the standard information an individual provide
to your guests? Is going to be again regularly to check up on new posts

In Italien werden die Einschränkungen Diskontinuierlich zurückgenommen. Einen Spanien-Urlaub sollte man für den Frühsommer bis jetzt nicht
buchen. Buffets in Hotels sind verboten. Buchungen für den Zugang zu
Strandbädern sollen verhindern, dass die Menschen zu dicht aneinander in der Sonne
braten. Mallorca und die anderen Urlaubsinseln können aber darauf hoffen,
vielleicht doch ein bisschen früher eine beschränkte Zahl von in- und ausländischen Besuchern empfangen zu dürfen. Desinfektionsmittel müssen überall bereit stehen. Es gebe eine Arbeitsgruppe, die über ein solches Pilotprojekt spreche, hiermit man erste Erfahrungen sammeln wolle, bestätigte Verkehrsminister José Luis Ábalos.
Die Regierung in Madrid bekräftigte, dass man frühestens ab Ende Juni mit einer
weitgehenden Grenzöffnung für Touristen rechnen könne.
Selbst den Spaniern werde es bis nachher verboten bleiben, in andere Regionen des
Landes zu reisen. Die Inseln setzen sich seit geraumer
Zeit für die Errichtung eines “sicheren Tourismuskorridors”.
Die Menschen, die trotz geschlossener Grenzen einreisen dürfen, weil sie in Spanien eine Erstwohnung
haben oder eine Arbeitsstelle antreten, müssen zwei Wochen abgeschottet von der
außenwelt.
