Ryan took me out on a date on April 30. I just saw it as a normal date for us....few and far between, and dinner only, since we didn't want to be out too late for the babysitter. But as we headed up Provo Canyon, I started getting a little suspicious. He told me he had wanted to take me to Sundance Foundry Grill for dinner, but that they were closed for renovations and that they recommended we go to The Riverhorse in Park City. Knowing that the Riverhorse is such a nice place, I starting thinking it could be THE night!! I was getting butterflies... but as we enjoyed our amazing {see: A.MA.ZING} dinner, Ryan seemed so calm, cool and collected and just like it was another day in the neighborhood! Much to my surprise we left dinner without a ring on my finger!! So I figured I was wrong about the night, again. (I've thought maybe he'd do this one other night-and it didn't happen either.haha) As we walked back to the car Ryan spotted a little short cut to the parking garage. He headed across the street, and under a lit tree said to me "You make me so happy!" He gave me a sweet kiss and got down on one knee, pulling a little gift box out of his pocket. He said "Will you please make me happy for the rest of my life and marry me?".. I kissed him and said "OF COURSE!". He gave me the ring (which he picked himself!) and we haven't looked back. It was so fun to tell the kids the next morning. They have been so excited about the idea of us getting married!!
Ryan is the perfect match for me. The timing for him to walk back into our lives has been absolutely magical, and I am really counting my blessings that he is apart of my life. He is a great dad, he's smart, caring, giving and compassionate. He has a big heart and truly loves my kids as his own. He makes me feel special and beautiful every day---even days like today where I'm in sweats, cleaning all day, no makeup and hair pulled up in a bun. He makes me laugh, lets me cry, and teaches me new things all the time. Ryan is amazing to me, and I cannot wait to spend forever with him.
