My life changed forever the day I met Ryan. I was never one to go on many dates because I always made myself sick from nerves. However, Ryan asked to meet me at Perkins Rowe to get drinks and watch Top Gun Maverick. Something in my gut told me to just give him a chance, so, I went.

I got lost and did not know where Ryan was, so he called me after we both parked. As soon as I answered the phone shyly, he was singing. Little did I know that this awkward guy in flip-flops on our first date would be the love of my life.

Ryan likes to remind me often that life is short and not to take things for granted. I never want to take his love and presence for granted. He is the best person I have ever known.

Ryan is always kind, patient, and loving. I love every minute I spend with Ryan and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my time on Earth with him.

Travel coming soon!
