our anniversary

I've second guessed a lot of the choices I've made, except one.

Saying that infamous "yes" to Ryan's proposal was the best decision I have ever made and not once, for a fleeting moment, have I thought it was the wrong choice.

We were designed for each other. God had us together for a long time -- I can just tell :) 

If this face doesn't say how I feel about Ryan, I'm not sure what will. 

Right then Ryan knew he was marrying someone crazy enthusiastic and super special! ha

Oh that's better :) Lose the crazy, welcome sweet embrace. Ryan looks so young to me here!

Over the last FIVE years Ryan has taken me on a lot of fun trips and vacations. Some of my favorite memories are from these trips!

First time in Canada!

Zip lining in Mexico!

 Day trip to Hershey Park! Meet "Chop" the new Hershey Cow {yes, they're becoming more culturally diverse :) } 

And so many more! 

I will say....I might be most excited about our anniversary trip to Hawaii this summer! Making more memories HERE in a few weeks! 

So he not only takes me on the best vacations and surprises me with the best presents....

during his busiest time at work ever I went and bought our sweet Fuzzhead even though he didn't really want a dog. 

Then they fell in love...

And became best friends. Because that's just how Ryan's heart works. 

And if his heart isn't impressive enough, he's got a big brain to fall back on. 

I've never been more proud of Ryan than when he endured 2 years of intense SRO {senior reactor operator} training and tests, only to come out at the top of his class. He operates a nuclear power plant. I'll say that again in case you didn't catch it -- he.operates.a.nuclear.power.plant.

Who does that?!

Just this guy who hugs puppies on the side {see above}. 

His good looks don't need spoken about, they speak for themselves.

Love you sweet man! I'd never be this happy without you. 

You're more than I deserve.
