Today, Ryan and I are celebrating our SIXTH wedding anniversary! It is so crazy how fast time goes by, but how much is accomplished in that time and how much we’ve experienced together. I know in the grand scheme of things we are really relationship rookies, but I am excited for what lies ahead with the family that we have created, and the new challenges and adventures we will take on together.
In the spirit of gooey-loviness, I am following the example of other cute wives that I have seen and sharing a list of some of the things I love about Ryan.
So, Ryan, this is for you…
