I knew.

I knew I would marry this man, the day he broke up with me. Strange, but very true.

That night, I remember thinking, I might just die, if he wasn't a part of my life. 

Thankfully, for my sake, things worked out for the better :)

2005

Ryan is a quiet guy, which is good because I talk enough for out whole family I'm sure.

But don't like the quiet exterior fool you, the man is hysterically funny.

2009

He makes me laugh, any time, any place. 

After 6 years together, we have quite the collection of inside jokes, which he always manages to pull out at the totally most random time. I love it.

2007

Ryan is strong. It's easy to see how physically strong Ryan is, his muscles are hard to hide :) but his internal strength is what impresses me. He has motivation and drive that cannot be stopped. He works harder than anyone I know. He carries me at times, when I have no faith. He is a reassuring force in my life, and for that, I am always grateful.

 2011

He is a gentle and willing father. He changed Zoe's first diaper, and the first several actually. He and I took turns getting up to feed Zoe in the middle of the night. He is so fun with her. 

They have such a fun, playful relationship. 

2007

He is my love, my heart and I couldn't imagine my life without him. I'm grateful to know him and to have been lucky enough to marry him. He has helped me grow and mold into a better person.

Thanks Dan and Julie for my amazing husband!

I am truly blessed.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

XOXO,

Your Wife
