{Tagged}

This is the first time I've ever actually done a 'tag post' but.. there are so many things that I need to catch up on, so this is just going to be my jumpstart. Life has been CRAZZZY around here lately. Anyway, more of that later.. here's how to play:

1. Post these rules.
2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things.
3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post.
4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.
5. Go to their blog/facebook and tell them you've tagged them.


11 random things
1. My biggest pet peeve is when people chew ice. AWE! It makes me shiver to think about.
2. After washing my hands, I cannot touch anything until putting lotion on.
3. One of the first things I look at when meeting a person is their hands. Ry says it’s totally weird- but I just can’t help it!!
4. Water and Gatorade are pretty much all I drink. Soda makes my stomach hurt.
5. I would rather clean the house myself than have someone else do it for me (even Ryan). I would end up redoing it afterwards anyway because I’m a germ freak.

{Valentines}


I feel like the luckiest girl alive today.
I have two of the sweetest Valentines ever!

Ry is the most hardworking person that I have ever met. He works 40+ hours per week, is going to school full time for his MBA, comes home each night to be an amazing dad and husband, holds callings at church, and is constantly telling me we need to find opportunities to serve others. He is the most selfless person I’ve ever met and seriously the best example. I could never imagine my life without him in it and am so grateful that he chose me.

Avery is the light of our lives. She brings so many smiles to our home and I can’t remember life without her. I put her to sleep at night and miss her as I lay in bed just one room away. I am so excited to wake her up each morning and snuggle. She is the funniest and smartest little baby and I am so lucky to be her mamma. I never imagined being able to love someone so much!

Without these two I would be nothing!
They are the best blessing that I've ever been given!!

Happy Valentines <3

{Valentines - Break}

So, I totally didn't plan on Ryan having to go on a business trip smack dab right in the middle of his 12 Days of Valentines. Booo!!! At least it's short! I'm saving the next few days for him, and Friday is going to be a good day full of surprises! ;)
