2 Years Down, Forever to Go!

Have you ever wished something would never end? Like a vacation to Hawaii, or the nice weather, maybe even the weekend? I know I've felt like that, but the one thing I love more than anything really is never ending. My marriage. Ryan and I had our 2 year anniversary yesterday, and thinking back over the last two years made me realize how blessed I am in so many ways. I am happier now than I have ever been, and know that happiness is only going to grow come the end of July. I feel like I have everything I need right now and shouldn't ask for more.
I have an amazing family on both sides which is rare to come by.

I have a nice comforting home to live in that I love, and two dependable automobiles. I have a good pooch to keep me company if Ryan's gone. I have had an amazing pregnancy with a healthy baby growing inside of me.
And I have the most amazing husband who I love more than anything.

(these are just a few of the many things I am grateful for) The last two years have really been the best years of my life. Everyone always told me the first few years of marriage are the hardest, but honestly- they've seemed like nothing but pure bliss. You don't have to believe me, but I think Ryan and I got all of our arguments/differences out in the 2 1/2 years we were dating- now those definitely weren't the easiest. But these last two years have really been special. We've lived in Salt Lake, Logan, and Bear Lake. We've been on cruises, weekend getaways, family trips, and Vegas vacations. We've been boating, paintballing, snorkeling, kayaking, camping, and fishing. And that's just a summerized explanation of all the things we've done together and there is so much more to come! Now I know everyone loves to tell us that "our lives are going to change" and "you won't be able to do things once the baby comes" but I know our lives are just going to change for the better. There is no greater joy than to bring a baby into this world that is ours. This is what I have lived my whole life for, to find my eternal companion and start a family. So, even though some may say "a baby is a strain on your marriage" I know it will only strengthen ours. I just wanted to let Ryan know how much I love him and thought I'd make a short list of reasons why. You are an amazing husband and I know you'll be the best Dad.
.
You always keep me wanting more, even spending 24-7 with you all day and night, not once have I gotten sick of you and am still doing all that I can to impress you.
.
You know how to make me laugh even if I am in the worst mood. Sometimes it makes me even more mad, 'cause I'm trying to be mad at you and you always seem to get a laugh or smile out of me.
.
You are so patient with me even when I am being unbearable.
.
You are never awnry or in a bad mood, it makes me happy.
.
You do all that you can for our little family, even if it is getting 3 different jobs at once. I'm just glad you're willing to support us while I'll be staying home with our kids.
.
Thank you Ryan for all that you do. You really are the best husband ever and I am only looking forward to eternity with you. I love you so much! Happy Anniversary!
