Warning: Major sappiness

If you don't like romance, sappiness, or somewhat corniness, I'd stop reading right about here. :)


I heard this quote today and couldn't help but think it's how I feel about Ryan and I:

"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same"

After being married for a couple of years, I've come to realize that there are some characteristics about Ryan that have been consistent since we started dating 5 years ago.  These things that he does for me solidifies our relationship and makes me love him even more than yesterday. I understand that we have a LONG road ahead in our marriage and we've experienced few "trials and tribulations", but I think as long as we continue to respect each other, support each other, and encourage one another, we'll be okay. :)  Just a few things that come to mind that I love about him:

-He doesn't let me go to bed mad...he even senses when I'm upset about something and I don't tell him, and he'll make me stay awake until I share what's on my mind.  I'm stubborn - he knows this - and doesn't settle until it's fixed.

-He ALWAYS supports me.  He's my biggest fan.  Who wouldn't love that?

-He becomes better looking by the day.  Just sayin.

-He kisses Zoe and I both goodbye in the morning before he leaves for work.  I know it's little, but I can't imagine my life without it. It's the small things that mean the most.

-I cook, he does the dishes.  I take Zoe out in the morning, Ryan takes her out in the afternoon.  He pays some of the bills, I pay some of the bills.  We have a teamwork mentality when it comes on taking on chores and I appreciate him pitching in more than some guys do.

-I tend to be big picture and Ryan tends to be small details.  This works out in most situations.

I've had a good month at work, and I randomly told Ryan one night that I had my biggest sale to date.  The next day I came home to this:

I don't know what I did to deserve this kind of love, but I thank my lucky stars everyday and pray we have 70 more years of this! 

Picture updates to come soon :)
