Moving, Hunter's Wedding and getting ready for Alaska!


I realized i hadn't done a real update on our fam in a while so i uploaded pictures and tried to remember what has been keeping us so busy.

We moved out of our old apartment and are currently subletting from the Gochnours. We didn't want to move into a new apartment and have to pay for it while we are living in Switzerland and the Gochnours were leaving for the summer so it worked perfectly once our contract ended we moved in and just have kept almost everything we own in boxes. Orginally our plan was to move into storage, so this is much easier for us. We are trying to move into the complex that a lot of our friends live in. We are so sick of living in an apartment and a town home with a backyard sounds fantastic.

Addie and I also drove to DC to see Hunter, my cousin get married to a really cute girl. We love being there and sharing this experience with them. Her dress was gorgeous! We are so excited for Hunter and can't believe that he is married. It means we are all growing up. And I can't wait to get to know Aubrey better, she seems like such an awesome person.


I have so many pics that i will just do a Pic Post... So that brings us to today and today Addie is still trying to get better and the fever is gone but last night she threw up but seems much better today. Next Friday we fly to SLC to meet up with the fam and see Gram and Gramps Hendry and then we fly to seattle with the Spiers side to leave on our Alaskan cruise!!!!

We are so excited and i am frantically doing laundry and trying to prepare to be gone for a week and half!

Hey Good Lookin' Whatcha Got Cookin'?

So as most of you know Megan is fairly vegetarian. (fairly in that she does occasionally eat meat if she feels she needs it and she is also fair to Addie and I in allowing meat in the house) Ryan, however, is not vegetarian, but as the kind, loving husband that he is (aren't I though?) he cooks almost exclusively vegetarian at home. We love food and Ryan loves to experiment in the kitchen, so everyone wins. Many of you may be wondering: What does Ryan eat when Megan is out of town? Fear not, I intend to indulge your curiosity by divulging what I am eating right now!

Wait, not yet. First, normally when Megan is gone Ryan eats this from his favorite local Chinese restaurant:

Dry tofu with shredded pork; only available by request from the special authentic Chinese menu they only cook three days a week. Delicious!

However, seeing as how the loan period has come to a close and the budget has tightened, I opted instead for something more traditional. In order to get full from a fast food restaurant I would end up spending at least $5, so rather than waste $5 on burgers, I went to Costco and bought a Rotisserie Chicken.

So what does Ryan eat when Megan leaves? An entire chicken.

Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto!

Tomorrow Addie and I are off to DC. Its only about 4 hours away so the drive should be a piece of cake. We are so excited to see Hunter get married!!!!! Its hard to believe how grown up we are all getting. I am excited to see the fam on my coast.

Addie has been improving on her letters, she almost has the whole alphabet down when we run through her ABC flashcards! We have been very proud of her. Not only can she dance the robot, she knows her letters! My kid rocks!!!

I wish Ryan could come along but he has to finish moving the rest of our stuff out of the apartment (we have to be out by Monday! and i don't get back till Sunday) and start work and continue to work on the case note and hopefully get on a law journal.

We love you Ry and wish you could go with us but you are the most incredible and selfless person for letting us go party in DC and celebrate Hunter and see Skeen fam bam while you move us the rest of the way out of our apartment, start reaserching for your professor and write the dreaded casenote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary! It has flown by, but when i think back to all we have done i can hardly believe we did all that in 3 years! I have known Ry for almost ten years now and i love him in so many different ways. He is my very best friend and has been since the moment we met. We have been through everything together and always come out closer. I love that we can do anything together. he is the greatest shopping buddy, the most incredible secretary and promoter and therapist and husband and of course father. Ryan wears so many hats in my life. he is such a one of a kind person! I am so lucky i found him. Addie loves Ryan and waits for him by the door to come home from school. She runs to the door to meet him the minute she hears the keys jingle outside. Ryan is an incredible person, and i am so lucky to have such an involved and loving (and funny... most of the time<3)



















i love you ry guy!

xoxoxoxoxoxo! you are my heart.
