1 Year

Wow, I can't belive that Ryan and I have been married a year. And when I look back at what has happened over the past 12 months... it seems so much longer than a year.

It's amazing to think that we were married for 1 month and then Ryan left for Iraq. I think that those were the hardest 6 months of our lives. I can look back and think of the phone calls that always made me cry, the late nights talking on the internet, the first moment I got to see him on the web came (cried my eyes out), the many letters that I wrote, and then the scarry phone call from some nurse telling me Ryan had been medivacted to Kuwait because of his heart. I then remember praying adamatley for him to come home...

Well, soon enough the Lord was kind enough to bring Ryan home to us and his friends. The last 6 months have been AMAZING with Ryan home.. I honestly don't know how I could have lasted with him being deployed for a whole year, but that's not here nor there.... We have been able to appreciate each other so much more than I could have ever imagined.

It's also very exciting to think that we have the opportunity to celebrate our love. We went to Savannah, toured the historic distric in a horse drawn carrage, hoped over to The Pirates House for dinner, and then went to Savannah Smiles (a piano bar). Here are some pics







I have realized that even though we have been through some major ups and downs I still have the most amazing husband in the whole world. The blog he posted on his site made me cry my eyes out. I just couldn't imagine being any happier
