I love Ryan. I think it is fitting that today, Ryan's birthday, I feel very grateful for him. Ryan has been the most amazing husband. I know that the typical wifely thing to do is to complain about how her husband doesn't listen to her or pay attention to her needs or wants or doesn't spend enough time on her. I can't even come close to saying that. Ryan is always very attentive and concerned about what I need and how I am feeling. He always shows a lot of genuine concern for how I'm doing each and every day. Plus, I have to watch what I say because he is definitely listening and will always remember what I say. I am so thankful that he has his priorities and that family and religion are at the top. He sacrifices his time and energy so easily for his family and for his beliefs, it astounds me. He is a great example for me, and I love him. I am so glad that we are so compatible and that we have so much fun together. One of my favorite things in life is to stay up late talking to him when I know we should be going to sleep. I am also thankful for how involved he is with our boys. Last night, Max was up in the early morning hours screaming, and Ryan came out to try to calm him down so I could go to bed. I know that I could not have found a better partner than Ryan.
