Wow! 7 years!

Seven years ago today Ryan proposed!! It seems like just yesterday. It was the perfect proposal. Since I knew it was coming at some point, he worked very hard to surprise me. He proposed at his brother's wedding reception! I would have never thought in a million years that he would pick that moment. It was perfect, though. I was completely surprised & he had his family around to help us celebrate. 

Thank you, Kit & Laura, for sharing your special day with us! It was very kind & selfless of you to let us in the celebration! Love you both!!

Thank you, Baby, for loving me through the last 7 years!! They say time flies when you're having fun. We must be having fun because time sure is flying!! I love every minute of every day because I am your wife. I can't imagine anyone more perfect for me. You have made me a better person. For our little one, I can never say thank you enough. Love you.

Happy Anniversary, Baby!

Today is Ryan's and my 6 year anniversary. To this day, I'm still amazed of the happenings of our wedding day. The fact that I could tell my mother that I was going to get married in 2 days & expect her to be happy about it is crazy! I constantly strive to make my parents happy. It is something that is just instilled in me. I was going to get married two days later & hopefully they would support me. I guess the crazier thing is that they did!! No, it's not crazy. They could see what an amazing man Ryan is, and our wedding came together perfectly.

Now, six years later. We have a beautiful baby girl & are happier than we've ever been. Life is good! I am the luckiest girl in the world & I'm thankful that Ryan wanted to marry me that day. On September 28, 2001, I got my other half in every sense of the words. He is the one who has slowed me down & made me realize that things aren't as big of a deal as I tend to make them out to be. He's my shoulder to fall on when things go wrong & he's the one jumping up and down when things go right. He's what I need when I need it, and I honestly didn't think that existed anymore. To say that he means everything to me doesn't even begin to cover it. He is the love of my life & I am truly thankful that God allowed him to be with me.

I love you, Ryan. I can't imagine my life without you. I look forward to the many, many years ahead of us.
