We Made It!!

10 YEARS - We made it!! WAHOO!! 10 Years ago today Ryan and I were married for time and all eternity!! I can't believe it has been 10 years!! What amazes me more is that who would have guessed that I could like the same boy for 10 whole years. : )

We have definitely changed over the years. It is amazing what braces and a few highlights can do for you. I was surprised looking back at the pictures as to how we really looked. Ryan was so cute!! He looked like such a little boy. Me on the other hand, I was a little questionable. I am just lucky he thought I was cute!!

So, since it is our 10 year anniversary I thought I would make a "Top Ten" list of the things I love about Ryan - not in any particular order:

1. He constantly tells me that he loves me. He very rarely leaves with out telling me.

2. He always tells me that I am pretty, and beautiful etc. even when I know full well I look like trash!

3. He is such a funny dad. He will complain all day about how bad his back hurts then get down on the floor to wrestle with his kids???

4. He never questions me as to where or what I have spent his money on. I don't know that he has ever asked me how much something cost.

5. He loves to take us with him when he is out working - whether it is in the tractor or to the ranch.

6. He works so hard to provide for us and is so good at what he does. The old men in the ward are constantly commenting to me about how they would give their right and left leg to be able to grow crops and cows the way Ryan does.

7. He will eat anything I make and never complain. Let me remind you that I HATE to cook - I have made some interesting stuff over the years.

8. He loves to stay up late and watch TV with me. He will even let me watch What Not to Wear and Jon and Kate Plus 8 and pretends to enjoy it!

9. He is worthy to take me to the temple today just as he was when we got married - plus he is a worthy priesthood holder. What a blessing that is in its self.

10. I think he loves me just about as much as I LOVE HIM!!


So, I am sure you are asking yourself "What does such an amazing husband buy his bride of 10 years for their anniversary?" ...He took my wedding ring in which when he took it consisted of one band with my big diamond on it and one band with 5 smaller diamonds on it and had the jewelry man make me a third band that matches the band with 5 smaller diamonds to go on the otherside of the ring. (Are you all confused yet??) It is BEAUTIFUL!! I tried to take a picture to show everyone - but the diamonds are to glary!! (If glary is a word) So just trust me on this one - he did a great job surprising me with it!! Thank you Ry!!


P.S. Note that my playlist song is "ME and RYAN'S" song from when we were dating! Aerosmiths version isn't quite as good as Ryan's version, but I know full well he won't be sharing that with any of you anytime soon.: )
