2010 at a glance..

Well we started the year off engaged and awaiting word on the annulment; then, after months and months of waiting, in January we decided we were going to tie the knot in April. So the year started off with planning and getting things together for the wedding! First was the bridal portraits in March. Meegan Weaver did such a wonderful job! I would recommend her to anyone!

With help from friends and family the invitations, decorations, and food came together nicely.

We decided to do the First Look before the ceremony because we thought it would give us a chance not to be so rushed after the wedding with pictures, and we were right! Not only did we get all the pictures out of the way, we got to see one another all dressed up. My nerves were going crazy before I saw Ryan (to the point I thought I was going to burst out in tears for know good reason) and once we saw each other I felt like time stopped just for us. It was amazing, truly amazing...

The reception was soooo much fun! We had blast! Great music, great food, great drinks, and GREAT FRIENDS!

Once the festivities were over, off to Portland we went!

Once we were back it was all work no play. We started working on the house a little more steady. I'm not sure what month it was but during the summer Ryan decided he was going back to college! He started at the first of September and was so excited! We also moved into the Charlie house at the beginning September. October started off with an annual trip to Fredericksburg for Oktoberfest.






The fall consisted of work and Ryan going to school. He finished off his first semester with a 3.0!! Next, came our first Christmas as a married couple! Pictures to come soon :)

And that's it! 2010 was great and I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for us :)

Almost Happy New Year

Well if I did have a lot of people who read this blog I bet they would be upset that I haven't had a post since the beginning of the month. My apologizes! I have no real excuses. I get on here every day and look at everyone else's blogs and read all the fun things they have to say.

I've been thinking about changing up the blog a bit, now that the house is done and we are settled in I don't have much to post about (or topics concerning the house). It really wouldn't need much changing since the name of this blog is Ryan and Kathryn..how about Ryan AND Kathryn post. I haven't talked to Ryan about this but I will spring that on him tonight. :) I will be sure to let you know what he says...

If he does agree, be ware. A few of his interest are....a bit different than mine, ranging from music to scary comic books.

And maybe some day or in the near future we will have something else to post about?

For now, I am going to get off of here and get back to work...I hope all of you had a VERY Merry Christmas! Our's was amazing!

Love always~ KH

December

It's December!! Wow! This year has flown by. I am so excited, happy, and giddy for the Holidays this year! I had my tree up and house decorated before December even got here! Ryan and I are so cozy in our house. The tree fits perfect and looks great! (Charlee, Sydney, and Audrey did the decorating) While we were decorating Ryan played his guitar and we sang Christmas Carols. I'm on a mission to find a book with notes and lyrics so he can play and we can all sing on Christmas Eve down at my parents...If anyone has seen something of the sort please let me know!

I can't remember the last time I was this excited for Christmas! I think being married, having a wonderful husband, and the perfect house has made this year absolutely amazing! I am so thankful for our family and friends!!

Don't you love how bright the decor is in these rooms!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I know it's a bit early but we will be hitting the road for Houston tomorrow and I probably won't have the chance to get to a computer!

We hope all of you have a Happy Thanksgiving! Don't eat too much!

Love always,

Ryan and Kathryn :)

Holiday Pillow

I know...

I do apologize for not posting much lately. Things have been crazy! No new news on the house, still needs the final paint job. (It has primer now, which suits me just fine!)

Ryan is doing great in school! At first, I was worried if he'd like school; I am so happy and thankful that he really enjoys it. He is going to make the best English Teacher! And if I don't say so myself, he's going to make a pretty handsome teacher too ;) xoxo

I am just now getting geared for the Holidays! I bought a Christmas tree today, wreaths already on the door and I bought us new stockings to hand on the mantel. I'll have to take pictures and share with you once the living room is all done up! I am thinking I am going to get everything out this weekend..but who knows?

Well I'm off! I'll be posting soon..holiday stuff. :)

TGIF

Here is a quick update for you. We started painting the outside of the house! Yep that's right, the entire outside is primered! All is left is a round of paint and we should be good to go. Yippee!

I have a feeling today is going to be a wonderful day! It's chilly out, I'm hosting a Scentsy party tonight, and Ryan has a show tomorrow at The Office! Good weekend with great friends! I can't wait!

Hope all of you have plans for this nice fall weekend!
