Photo of the Day 2.25.2010
Since the snow is melting, and creating a big muddy mess, I thought a backyard skiing photo would be a good reminder of how great the snow was!

Kubota in the Snow
As the weatherman predicted, we got almost two feet of snow this weekend! Yay!

Ryan’s Birthday
Saturday, August 29th, 2009 was Ryan’s 29th Birthday.
Happy belated Birthday Baby!
I didn’t even have to think about what to get him, I knew exactly what he wanted; which is awesome, because he is usually very difficult to buy gifts for.
It was a little expensive, but I knew he wouldn’t complain.
I got him a Macro [...]
1st Anniversary – Paper
For our first anniversary, I wanted to give Ryan something that followed the tradition. I kept thinking paper. . . Paper, oh no, how can I give him paper?? A love note, a card, what should I do??
Then I had a great idea.
We have been married for a year and I have yet to put [...]
