It's our Anniversary!!

Happy anniversary Ryan.

 

It's been 3 years since we got married and 5.5 years since

we met and I still get butterflies when I see you walk into a room.

 

Thanks for making me the luckiest girl in the world.

It's been a great three years.

 

Here's to many more. :)

 

It's Our Anniversary!!

Today Ryan and I are celebrating 2 years of wedded bliss!! Part of me feels as if we have been together FOREVER (we have actualy been toegether for 4.5 years) and another part of me feels as if we JUST met. It all just goes by in a blur! Our wedding day 2 years age was perfect (dispite the rain)! We had a beautiful wedding and an awsome reception. I wish that we could re-live that day!
We have been through a lot in our 2 years of marriage...and have a beautiful family today. Ryan is the best dad ever and I am so thankful for that! Our little Livi is SUCH a daddys girl and just lights up when he is with her. I know that Blake and Ryan will always be so close too!

I am excited to see what the future holds for us...and at the same time just enjoying our every day life! I know that life will send us ups and downs...but I am sure that we will get through it all together!! We are so lucky to have each other!!

Ryan took me out for a suprise pre-anniversary dinner date on Saturday night and it was SO good! Today he sent be a beautiful boquet of flowers to my office :)

I would say "Happy anniversary Ryan & I love you"...but I know that he doesn't read this :)

It's our Anniversary...

Not our wedding anniversary.....but the day that we started dating! 4 years ago today Ryan and I met, and we have been together ever since! I knew "of" him a bit before that, but we had never hung out. We met up on St. Patty's day in 2007 when we were were both out with friends...and the rest is history! I blame it on too much green beer....lol!!

This is from our 1st St. Patty's day together....we look so young!! (and I look nasty...but remember....this is after a full day of drinking green beer :)....crazy how things have changed in just 4 short years....we will be staying in and having green Popsicles with our babies instead of going out and drinking green beer tonight....but we wouldn't have it any other way!!)
Happy Anniversary Ry...love you!!

I Love You

I Love You
With all of my heart

When things are changing all around us and the world seems to move too fast, don’t forget I’ll be right beside you, loving you.

What I feel for you is deep, total, and enduring –

a love you can count on without ever having to wonder.
So when you look ahead to the future or look back and how things used to be, don’t forget to look beside you, because that’s where you’ll find me, loving you with all my heart.

Happy Anniversary.

(words are not mine...they are from the card that Ryan gave me yesterday in celebration of our 1 year wedding anniversary!!)

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Today is my parents 34th wedding anniversary! Pretty crazy to think about how long they have been together and how much they have gone though together!! I am so lucky to have two such awesome and supportive parents! They have always been there for my sister and I...now Ryan and Blake...and for each other!

Ryan and I will celebrate our 1 year anniversary on Sunday! I hope that we can make it as long as my parents have :)

Wedding Wednesday...

I have not posted any wedding pictures in quite awhile, but decided that I would today because our anniversary is coming up (and I don't really have anything else to blog about...hahaha). These are more of the professional pictures that we have the copyright for.

The boys....

The boys with the cutest boy of them all...my Blaker :)

This one is so cute of Ryan looking down at his baby....

Our anniversary is on Sunday....hard to believe that we have been married for a year, but at the same time....it feels like we have been together forever. My parents are celebrating their 34th wedding anniversary on Friday! We are going to a Tigers game on Friday night and then not sure what else for the rest of the weekend. I think that Ryan and I plan on going on a date to celebrate. We are rarely together just the 2 of us! We are going to hold off on any trips until I am not pregnant :)

11 month wedding anniversary!!

As of yesterday Ryan and I have been married for 11 months!! Hard to believe that in just 1 months we will be celebrating out 1 year anniversary!! This has been such a FAST 10 months!!After our wedding I decided that I would devote my post on the 26th of each month (our anniversary) to my hubs.…My plan is to write about one of the things that I LOVE about Ryan!

I LOVE that Ryan is such a good friend....to everybody! He has SO many "best friends"....but I know why, he just treats everyone with so much respect. I love that about him!! He has a ton of friends that he has had since grade school and lots from college as well. He stays connected to all of them!

These pictures are from a wedding that Ryan was in just a couple of weeks ago...being such a good friend means that he is in a LOT of weddings :)

Not only is he such a good friend...he is FUN to be with on top of it :)

Ryan with his daddy....

And both of his parents!

10 Month wedding anniversary....

Today Ryan and I have been married for 10 months!! Hard to believe that in just 2 months we will be celebrating out 1 year anniversary!! This has been such a FAST 10 months!!

After our wedding I decided that I would devote my post on the 26th of each month (our anniversary) to my hubs.…My plan is to write about one of the things that I LOVE about Ryan!
I feel so lucky every day to be married to such a great guy. I love him more and more every single day. It's hard to pick just one thing that I love about him because there is so much :)...

Right now I LOVE that he doesn't care if I don't cook dinner. I am at that point in my pregnancy when cooking doesn't sound like fun, and the thought/smell of raw meat isn't very appealing to me. NEVER once has he complained that I have no food on the table (or in the house for that matter). He just asks what I want him to make or go get. I feel pretty lucky about that!!

**We have the appt. for the Fetal Survey Ultrasound on Thursday...I will be 19 weeks, so we will for sure be able to find out the sex...if we want!! We are STILL up in the air. I just can decide. I go back and forth. The excitement and anticipation of keeping is a surprise seems like so much fun....but at the same time, I am a planner...and I could get so much more done if I just knew if we were having a boy or a girl....hmmmmmm, decisions, decisions!!

6 Months

I blog about Blake ALL of the time. After our wedding I decided that I would devote my post on the 26th of each month (our anniversary) to my hubs. Well….today is our 6 month wedding anniversary…My plan is to write about one of the things that I LOVE about Ryan!

I've said it before...and I will say it again. I LOVE that Ryan is such a great dad. He is SO hand-on and does so much for Blake and with Blake. They are two "peas in a pod"! It is awesome that he never hesitates to change a diaper, feed, wake up in the night (thankfully we don't have to do this with B anymore), play hide and seek, snuggle...the list goes on and on. Watching Ryan with our baby makes me love him that much more!!

AND, this week we have an extra baby. We have baby Dylan (my friend Erica's 4 month old) while his parents are in Jamaica. Ryan helps so much with him too...what a guy. I am so blessed to have him. Wow...can't believe that it has been 6 months of wedded bliss :)....the time sure does go fast!!

Married for 5 months!!

Friday was our 5-month wedding anniversary. I am posing one thing that I love about him each month on our anniversary!! I missed posting this Friday in the midst of Blake’s eye situation. (his eye is MUCH better now).
Ry…I love that I can be myself when I am with you!
Sometime I say silly things or act like a total dork, and Ryan just loves me for me! I don’t have to pretend to be someone that I am not with him EVER!! I am so lucky to have found someone that likes me for me and takes the good with the bad!

My hubby!!

I blog about Blake ALL of the time. After our wedding I decided that I would devote my post on the 26th of each month (our anniversary) to my hubs. Well….today is our 4 month wedding anniversary…and this is only the 2nd post about Ryan! BUT, in my defense the 2nd month fell on Thanksgiving weekend…and the 3rd was the day after Christmas. SO…here we are 4 months later! My original plan was to write about one of the things that I LOVE about Ryan!

I LOVE that Ryan is so laid back. I know that is one of the reasons that we get along so well. He is so passive when it comes to so many things that get me so riled up!! I am NOT very laid back…I can be very uptight….I freak out about lots of things. Ryan freaks out about NOTHING! Sometimes when my blood is boiling, and I just want him to get riled up, he won’t! At the time it makes me upset….but when I cool down I am thankful that he can put everything into perspective for me.

Since meeting Ryan I have changed quite a bit when it comes to this. I used to be much more hot tempered, bitchy, and judgmental. Ryan has made me a better person. I am so thankful for him!!
