Three wonderful years...

So today three years ago, I married my best friend. Three years ago, I would have never dreamed that I could love a person so much. He has given me the life I needed, the love I need, and the encouragement to make it through whatever our future holds. Today, My husband and I celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. God has truly blessed our relationship and our marriage. Of course, like any other couple we have had trials and very few fights (seriously!)... but through it all, we have remained each other's best friends. I couldn't dream of spending my life with anyone else... We have the kind of relationship where we can't wait to get home to each other to see the other, or to talk about our days. I could go on and on about how much my husband means to me, but for sure he is the best thing outside of salvation that has ever happened to me.


I love you more everyday Philip Ryan!


Phil sent me flowers at work... there is a story behind the colors... aren't they beautiful???


The card reads (in his handwriting...): I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for the 3 years so far and many more to come. Your loving husband


And everyone says.... Awwwww.....

Hello all.

Yes, I know it's been forever. But so much has drastically changed in my life...


  • I quit my job in Tennessee where I absolutely loved the people I worked with
  • We packed our entire home
  • I ate sushi for the last time at Wasabi while a TN resident
  • Phil quit his job at McAlisters
  • I said good-bye to my closest friends on earth
  • We packed the moving truck with the help of some of our dearest friends
  • We traveled ALL day to Illinois
  • We signed on our first house that we own on June 1st at 11:30a.m.
  • We moved into our new home on June 1st at 12:00p.m.
  • We unpacked our house and started remodeling the basement
  • I started my job with BSA in Peoria, IL on June 5th
  • Phil started his job at CIP in Morton, IL on June 5th
  • We moved our membership to Bethel Baptist Church on June 17th
  • We celebrated Fathers Day - another year to celebrate something we aren't
  • I'm sure there is something I'm forgetting...
  • Oh, Ginger is now completely potty trained in our new house

So, to alot of you, this might not seem like much.

But right now, it's the biggest struggle I've ever had...
