February 10th was our SEVENTH Anniversary! I can't believe that it's been seven years, what a lucky girl I am. Although I love him more than this, I am going to give seven reasons why I adore:
7) Wonderful father and husband. No matter what time of day or night, he spends every waking minute wresting, comforting, soothing and loving his children and wife.
6) Hard worker. We've been in school for 8 years, and there's no one else I would want to be poor with. (although it will be nice when we have a lawyer's income)
Mowing the lawn with our ELECTRIC lawn mover. We actually get people walking by and smiling and/or giggling at the sight of this extension cord connected to our mower. It's a hoot.5) He's easy to live with and laugh with. Some of my most fond memories are playing Boggle with him. I love cuddling when we watch movies together. We have more inside jokes than a cheesy movie. He makes any situation fun and keeps life from getting boring or redundant. He is witty and makes me laugh. He has such a fun sense of humor.
4) He's a gentle teacher. No matter what the "lessons" are in life, he gently and lovingly instructs his children. He teaches scriptures and conducts family prayer, leading our children in the Gospel. (when we're in the habit!)
3) Amazing and talented. No matter what he puts his mind to, he can achieve it. He is impressive and is charming. Especially in the law-related field. He argues wonderfully. (unless we're at home where MY word is law...)
(He competed in the McNichols Moot Court Competition back in November, winning Number ONE place and being named the Best Oral Advocate. We also got to meet, mingle and dine with a group of judges including Justice Linda Copple Trout and other influencial names in the law field. What an honor!) This is completely seperate from his Trial Team, didn't I say he's amazing?!2) Those goregous sparkling eyes. When he smiles, his goregous eyes sparkle and I know he's happy and content. He's wonderful.

And the Number 1 reason why I adore Ryan:
1) I'm stuck and married for eternity. I can't imagine my life without him, I am honored to be his wife. There's a saying that I live by now, "If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently...it becomes special because you have made it so." (F. Burton Howard said that) I love and respect Ryan and so glad that he picked me.
Learning how to roll Vietnamese Cha Gio, his favorite food! 
Graduating from Boise State in 2006
Showing off his bowling skills, he's actually pretty good!

Awww... Such a great tribute to your Valentine! Love these pictures of Ryan. I especially like the one where he's sitting with the kids in his lap, each holding a tool, and he's scratching his head, like, "Huh?" You've got some GREAT picures of him!! He's so handsome...just like his reward posters! (what movie?)
I would agree; he makes a great older brother in law. However, he has to share the top totum pole of brother in law with Donny...
That was so fun to see all of those pictures of Ryan, especially the ones with your kids...so cute. What a good daddy!
