What can I say? I am more than blessed to have married my very best friend. When I first met Ryan I was immediately attracted to him. When I got home after the first time we met I immediately called my best friend to tell her all about him. Even in just those first few hours Ryan has always made me feel important.Ryan is incredibly intelligent. I love knowing I can ask him questions and he can usually explain things in terms I can understand. He has never made me feel inferior for things I don't know or understand. I love watching him pass his knowledge on to our daughter and helping her learn.
More than just book smart, Ryan has a true love of people. He knows people. His job is something I don't think I would handle very well. Even when he gets discouraged with those he is helping, he still cheers for them when they meet their goals. He also knows how to leave a hard days work at work. The time he spends with our family is special and work does not interfere. 
Ryan is a magnificent father. He is truly his little girl's best friend. Olivia's favorite past times include painting, playing tennis and soccer, and coloring with her dad. He is never too busy to go outside and draw a hopscotch or kick around a soccer ball. He also lets Olivia help him with all of his paintings.
I consider myself the luckiest woman in world to have found my husband. I thank my Father in Heaven daily for having our paths meet. He is my strength, my teddy bear, my cuddle buddy, my shoulder to cry on, my main support and as I already said, my very best friend. He is an amazing person with the biggest heart and more love than anyone else I know.
