Eight awesome years with this guy

Looking back 8 years ago today, I made the best decision to be with this guy forever! It was a beautiful October morning with just a slight chill to the air and the sun shining bright. A few things I received were; a bouquet of a dozen lavender roses early that morning (my favorite), a very nervous, quiet at times, and full of excitement and anticipation ride to the temple with the handsome groom, and an eternal companion! Eight years later: 4 beautiful girls (one waiting for all of us to come home), a crazy elk hunting adventure, 6 years of undergrad and dental school, many visits to grandma's and grandpa's, lots of hugs and kisses and loves from our girls, lots of learning and patience gained, more fillings than you can count, new friendships, a house, wrinkles, gray hair, and a love stronger than ever!

Thanks for the journey! I love you Ry with all my heart.

Hey, congratulations on being married to Ryan for that long. Eight years of being married to a guy named Ryan. You have cute girls with Ryan. You live in Idaho with Ryan and even in the same house with Ryan. Ryan is a great guy and I love Ryan too. But of course I might marry a guy with the same name as Ryan. Who knows. I wish you the very best with Ryan and with Ryan the best of Forever.
