3 Years

It's official - Ryan and I have been married for 3 years! And a crazy 3 years it's been! From graduating from college, moving to AZ, getting "real" jobs, and buying a house, it really does feel like we've grown up together. Ryan - You're a great husband and I couldn't imagine my life without you. What can I say boy, there's just something about you!

I love you Ry!

Dressing Up

While Ryan's niece was in town, we whipped out my old Barbie's for her to play with. After seeing what a large selection of clothing we had for the dolls, we decided to have a contest to see who could dress their Barbie in the cutest outfit.

If you're wondering what happened to their hair, ask my sister Adrienne. I do not take responsibility for their awesome "do's." For those who watch "The Hills," we named our dolls Spencer, Heidi, and Lauren. Can you guess which one was Ryan's?

Wedding Weekend

This weekend, Ryan's family came to town for his brother Steve's wedding. Although we didn't get to spend much time with Steve and his new wife Kristi Kay, we had a ton of fun hanging out with the McFarlane clan!

Spooky Supper

Every year, Ryan's mom makes a big Halloween meal. Since getting married, Ryan has insisted that we continue this tradition. Even when I have attempted to substitute some of his mom's dishes for new ones, he has put up a fight. So after 3 years of marriage, I have finally surrendered to the Halloween Hoopla and adopted this meal as "our" tradition as well.

This year we invited a group of friends and family to enjoy the festive meal with us. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of half of the food and all of our guests, but the night turned out perfect. Hopefully next year I'll gorge a little bit less and take a few more pictures. Thanks to everyone who participated in the fun! Happy Halloween!!
