"With this ring....I thee wed"

Today is our three year Anniversary......of when Ryan Proposed! It was a random Thursday on Feb. 23rd! I was working that day, and when I got off....I was so tired! Ryan called and said he wanted to go out to eat....but I was so beat, that I told him I didn't want to go out and that we should just stay at my house and hang out. So, soon as I hung up the phone, he called my Mom and told her she had to convince me not to stay home. So I got home and asked my mom what was for dinner.....and she said we were having Patio soup.....and I HATE patio soup! So Ryan came over and was like....are you sure you don't want to go out? So....it was go out or that stupid soup.....so we went out. Thinking that we were only going to go somewhere like fast food...I put on my comfy clothes, a nice warm hoodie! We were discussing where we should eat and Ryan goes "How about PF Chang's?" Okay.....this is when clicked! Was he going to propose tonight?!?! Then I got really excited.....cause why would we drive all the way to salt lake on a week night, to PF Chang's.....one of our favorite restaurants ever! THEN he goes "Oh, and since we are going to salt lake.....they have this historical exhibit at temple square that I want to see. Can we stop by really fast and look at it?" HA! That just confirmed it all to me! Tonight was the night! So...when we got to PF Chang's, we had to wait a while....even on a weeknight. I remember looking around and seeing everyone and their dates....and all the pretty girls all dressed up....and I was wearing a hoodie.....IF I'D KNOWN.....I would of dressed up! By the time we were seated and ready to eat, it was kinda late. Then out of no where....Ryan goes "It's getting late, maybe we won't go to temple square....the exhibit is probably closed by now." I was like WHAT! Isn't he proposing tonight? If he was....why would he just change the plans just like that! Then I was bummed....cause that night wasn't the only time I thought he might of proposed....there was at least two other nights before that I thought it might have been. So....kinda still hoping....I convinced him....that we should just try and stop by and see. So, it was around 9 o'clock by the time we got there, as we walked in the gates....two lady missionaries approached us and told us about the Joesph Smith Movie.....this was when it first came out, and I hadn't seen it yet. I was all up for seeing it....since I had changed my mind about the proposal. Ryan kept saying no, that we had to go to work in the morning and that we could see it another time. I kept saying no....lets go see it....and the two missionaries kinda were persuading us to go and said "We'll go get your tickets" and they headed off into the building. Ryan grabbed my arm and dragged me to the east side of the temple and we hid behind a tree. I was like what are you doing....and then he pulled out the ring! He had been planning the whole time to ask me there....but we had to escape the missionaries first! It was such a great moment....so perfect....how it all played out.... it was so Ryan, and I loved it. I cried, and of course I said yes. After he proposed...I called my family and apparently everyone already knew....AND....had a poll of when he was going to do it. Each member put in money and they all had to guess a date....and who ever got the closest date, got the money! Apparently it was up to about 50 dollars.....my brother Mike won.
Anyways, that's my story....and I love it.

And they lived happily ever after :)

Roses are red, Violets are blue, I loved my Valentines day...How about you?

Ahhh......Valentines.....oh, how I loved it! Our Valentines day wasn't just a day....it was two! On Friday the 13th (Ewww....Ahhhh! Scary!) I came home from work and saw roses on the table for me. Ryan decided to give them to me early so I would be surprised.....it worked, I wasn't expecting them on Friday. What a great husband I have, I love him so much! Also, later that night, Ryan took me to see "Confessions of a Shopaholic". I was so excited, ever since I first saw the preview....I couldn't wait to to see it! It was so up my alley....I love to shop, love Isla Fisher, and at one point in my life....I think some people might have thought I was a shopaholic. So what if....I might have maxed out 3 different credit cards, worked at a clothing store (the mall was my second home) and basically spent my whole pay check on gorgeous clothes and shoes. I would lay awake at night and daydream about all my new found outfits and all the accessories that they would go with! I still think you can never, ever have enough shoes.....or purses......or dangly pretty earrings....or bracelets.....or anything pink, sparkly with just a tad of lace or ruffle! I dare say I was a little obsessed....but a shopaholic.....Nah! ;0)

It was a way cute show....very entertaining and I always love anything to do with fashion! It wasn't as good as "The devils wears Parda"....that show....is absolutely one of the best shows in the world....and is on the top of my most favorite movies of all time! But it was quiet funny....and a lot of her experiences related to me. Ryan hated it, he said for a chick flick, it was one of the girliest ones he has ever seen! He really, truly does love me, I know....if I asked him too, he would suffer through it again. All the clothes were so fun and bright! Some of the clothes were a little extreme for me....but fitting for this show!

For the 14th, I decided to make Ryan dinner. Normal wives do this every night....but me, I am not that great of a cook and it scares me....it seems like I always ruin the food. The simplest of meals....I burn or add to much or too little of some ingredient. I know I need more practice, and I want to be a good cook one day.....so my babies will say "my mom's cooking is the best" like what I say about my mom. I can make some meals....like spaghetti....and tomato soup and grilled cheese! I am a pro at mac and cheese, that got me through college! But, surprisingly...my Valentine meal turned out great....and tasted good too! It gave me a bit more courage to cook. I also decorated the table with some of the roses Ryan gave me.

Ryan also came home with another little surprise, which was a Campbell's recepie box, full of all kinds of easy recepies. Ryan is so patient and so helpful in teaching me how to cook.... and I do WANT to learn to cook, so I was really happy! I am actually really excited to cook some of the meals, they look really good! And I guess in order to be good, you have to practice.

It was such a wonderful couple of days....one of my favorite Valentines ever! I love my Ryan so much and am so blessed to have him in my life. He is my best friend and I know he was meant for me. Love him, love him, love him!
