Happy Birthday and welcome Trey! 💍🎉

Congrats Lucy and Trey! What a day, what a place to get engaged, and what a gift you have landed: Lucy May Singletary! And on your birthday, no doubt!

(Welcome to your first birthday affirmations from your new peeps.)

Lucy: There is so much to love about Trey! But one of my favorite things is that he is a man of character. He has so much integrity; he is honest and full of faith and kindness. He is so steady in his goodness and treats everyone the same way. Everyone wants Trey on their team! He is a great friend, a great question-asker, and a great person to do life with! I am so grateful for his easygoing attitude that makes it easy to move across the country and backpack worldwide! Happy 23 Trey!! 

Cathy: Trey has figured out how to manage the Singletary clan. He quietly listens but pays attention to what he can say or do to make each of us happy. I appreciate his kindness, patience, and humor and look forward to spending more time with him. The future is bright for Trey and Lucy! 

Emily: Trey is such a kind and fun guy! Not to mention, crazy athletic. Watching Trey run a marathon was incredible. I will miss the frequent Austin visits from Lu and Trey, but I love that they have started a new adventure together in Chattanooga! Can’t wait to visit.

Sally: I love that Trey is so thoughtful and considerate to all of us. He is always thinking ahead of what he can do to help out or say that will be encouraging and kind. Every time I turned around during the wedding week, Trey was doing something to help without causing a stir and with a smile on his face. I hope you have a great and memorable birthday. Welcome to the family, Trey!

Taylor: I am impressed with Trey’s quiet dedication. It’s been fun to follow along vicariously as he runs his half-marathons and prepares for even bigger races on the horizon. I love the fact he constantly challenges himself. I hope to one day do a half marathon myself and know I will have a good coach! 

Kyle: The best things in life come from taking risks, and it’s great to see you do that in your life so early. Moving to a new city takes courage and is never easy, but so many great things will come from it. New friends, new careers, and new paths in life. I love and respect that you’re already taking these risks; it will pay dividends later in life. 

gPa: I am so impressed with Trey and his zest for life. He knows how to let the game come to him and is going places that will be fun to watch. I recently have been thinking about this quote from Henry David Thoreau, and it seems appropriate to share here, as I think it speaks to the man who is Trey:

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...”
