My Favorite Things....

Oregano's has the BEST salads and I loooove their Pizza!

I love gerber daisies. This one looks just like the ones I had at my wedding.

I think I wear Roxy flip flops EVERY day. I can't live without them.

I really think it IS one of the happiest places on earth!

Of course Golden Spoon would HAVE to be on my list. Love it!

Diet Coke with regular cherry, easy ice please!

The BEACH! This pic was taken in Hawaii on the North Shore.

I know every line & have seen it dozens of times.

Tiffany Fackrell: Ok so my husband's favorite movie, i swear, is Mean Girls! Everytime it is on T.V. we watch it...only for the part where the girls get hit by the bus! I have never seen him laugh so hard in my life! (it really isn't his favorite movie, but probably does have one of his all time favorite senes)! I will admit i laugh pretty hard too!!

Are you guys coming to the Platt reunion in July? I am dying to meet you in person!; May 2, 2008 at 9:45 PM
Michelle: Sonic should be done here within the next couple of months - can't wait for a lemonberry slush... I need to visit again so I can try these other places out.
Next time...Michelle; May 5, 2008 at 12:15 AM
Brooke and Brett Martin: Seriously, AMEN to all of those things. Ohhh we sure do have a lot in common after seeing this. Give me a beach any day of the week and I'll drop anything to go. And we LOOOOVE Oregono's!! We should get a group together and go soon. That'd be so much fun.; May 5, 2008 at 9:06 AM
Shelley Goodman: I love all of those things. I saw Mean Girls for the first time a month ago on tv. It was pretty funny and probably really similar to what high school is like now a days.; May 8, 2008 at 8:36 PM

How we met!

It all began in late August of 2006. I had just arrived home from Hawaii where I had spent a couple of weeks relaxing in the sun with some friends. Needless to say...I was single and LOVIN it

Ryan was living in Washington, and with the help of a mutual friend, we began talking. It was by computer at first and sometimes for hours a night. After a few weeks it was obvious that something was brewing and we just HAD to meet. He set the date (Oct. 6th) and got plane tickets and a little over a month after we started talking, he was on his way.

I can still remember how hard my heart was pounding while I was waiting for him to step off the airplane...My mind was racing... Will he like me? Will I like him? Will there be any chemistry in person?? And everything else that races through your mind in that split second. So here it was, the moment had arrived, I see him as he emerges from the hallway... but wait, why did he just walk right past me??? This can't be a good sign! Did he see me?? Am I not pretty enough?? But wait, he's turning and is that a smile on his face?

So the beginning was a little ackward but by the next day we had adjusted to one another. That weekend he stayed until Monday... we'll call it "Black Monday" and then he went home and I didn't know if I'd ever see him again. Now for those of you that know me... know that I'm not emotional but after I dropped him off that day, I cried. That's when I knew that there was something there.

I flew out to see him three weeks later and two months after that he picked up his life and moved to Arizona. Which I will be forever truly grateful.

By June we were engaged and on October 5th, 2007 we were sealed in the Mesa Arizona Temple. Just one day shy of our first encounter the previous year.
