1 year

Its hard to believe that this Friday, Ryan and I have been together 1 year!  We've had tough times a plenty, but we've had some really great times too! I've got to do things with him that I never got to do with my ex. Its wonderful! And I'm not talking about vacations and the like. I'm talking littles things like cuddling and dancing and cooking together and dinner with another couple!!!

Our vacation to North Dakota was so much fun, I can't wait to go back! It was a vacation where I didn't have to go anywhere or do anything but enjoy myself. And I did!

And I got to know his mom better, learned about his brother some more and I even cooked dinner one night.  I learned more about farm life and more about sheep castration than I care to know!  Hung out with his dad a couple of days by playing golf with him.  Just so you all know, he beat me both days but he was impressed with my game. 

Was really sad to leave there just fell in love with it there! To alter an old song title, I left my heart in North Dakota.

Sorry this is short, but I am on my phone and its about to die!

So to conclude:

Here's to our 1st year as a couple, and to our continued journey together!

30: month one

It has been almost one month since I turned the dirty 30 as people say.  This Saturday my dear friend Erin is getting married and I am still dateless for the celebration.  Its looking more and more like I might be taking my mother to the wedding.  *sigh*  Unless I man up and just ask someone.  Well one someone in particular.  I'm really considering my friend John.  He's funny, a blast to hang out with, and pretty easy on the eyes. *insert chuckle here*  Sadly I don't know why I'm so afraid to ask him.  He's a great person, even if he couldn't go, I can say I tried right?  Then I'm also back at square one... What to do what to do....  Tho this is to be a happy time, I'm a bit sad...I kinda wish it was me... I'd love to be getting married, starting my family, a new life with my husband...but alas it is not in my cards for the time being.  I will put on my happy face, celebrate with the happy newlyweds, and toast to new beginnings!
