Ryan is so sweet. He spoils me. He bought me this yesterday:


(yes, it's SPARKLY PURPLE!!!!! I LOVE IT!)
And put it in this:


So I can capture moments like this:

And this!


Aunt Ash took Carter around on one of the scooters they brought back from China. He loved it!


Until he fell down and Aunt Ash had to make it all better!
We love Aunt Ash for making the scratches all better.

I love it! The best part is, the gigantor of a camera that we bought 5 years ago cost THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT of this little camera and it has THREE TIMES the pixels and gadets! Wow, amazing technology huh?
I have a renewed passion for blogging! I think I will take lots of pictures and bombard my bloggers with all the fun pictures! Oh yes, what shall I capture next?

the longest 6-8 weeks EVER

I've been a slacker about blogging over the last several weeks. I'm playing catch up on this post and wanted to share the highlights over the past 50 days:

-Celebrated my birthday

-Attended my 10 year High School Reunion

-Went to a couple movies

(have YOU seen The Proposal yet??? Stinking adorable...can't wait to see it again)-My parents moved back to Boise from Shanghai, China -My brother, Aaron, left home to start COLLEGE in Eastern Idaho! (He's even in the SAME APARTMENT as I was when I lived in Rexburg 10 whole years ago!!! How cool is that?) -My brother-in-law, Garrison, received his mission call to Meridia, Mexico! Yahoo, he'll brush upon his espanol.
-Oh yeah, and Ryan passed the BAR!!!!! 50 days ago Ryan started an exam that would change our life forever. The dreaded and cursed BAR EXAM. He took it and felt good about it, but the only thing we could do it wait for the results that came THIS MORNING.

This is what he looked like this morning, calm and confident as we awaited the results.

NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT!!!

I honestly couldn't sleep. I didn't even fall asleep until 7:00 am this morning and was up an hour later getting Ryanna ready for school. Ryan left for work at 5:30 am and we were on the phone with each other while the website was being loaded as the results were posted at 9:00am. As I read his name on the list, I screamed, there were tears and a lot of jumping around.

I'm so proud of you, Ryan! I can't believe how successful you have been and can't wait for all the new adventures we are about to embark upon. The first day of the rest of our lives is today. I love you and am honored to be your wife and support. You rock, Man! Even when you're flying through the air since you're kinda delusional and happy right now.

I love you!
