Meme Love
Ryan and I spend all day in front of computers. So, it's natural to want to send each other little notes! Here are some of the cute/funny memes we've sent/received (I have to save these SOMEWHERE!).

Ryan's Former Days
Cami (Ryan's sister in law) just sent me this picture of him on his mission. So handsome!
He served in the Tijuana Mexico mission from 2002-2004.

The married life
So this blog is really similar to my journal in a lot of ways. Really the only difference between them is that this has more entries from me in it than my journal does. Considering this is my second blog post of all time, that should tell you something about my journal habits.
Still, its now almost 2 months since I've been married. I even managed it before I hit 32 years old. I'm fairly sure my parents thought I wasn't going to pull that off, so I'm all about defying expectations.
My wonderful wife Emily has already posted lots of pictures. Head on over to her facebook page if you want to get the complete rundown, as she told you.
The married life is excellent. I especially love that Emily and I get to begin establishing all of our own traditions for our family. We talked a bit about that in FHE on Monday night (one of those great traditions you can start even when you're engaged. I highly recommend that), we get to begin establishing these traditions like family prayer, family scripture study, FHE, and others before our children are even here.
Speaking of traditions, when Emily told me to blog tonight (yes, thats really the only reason you're getting this post. You can thank her later), she said I should blog our weekly roast dinner. I'm pretty new to this blogging thing, but I'm not sure that people want to read an entire blog post about our roast dinner. Except its pretty awesome, so maybe people want to read about it in a "Oh, I wish I got to live that kind of life" sort of way. Kind of like people who watch those TV shows about really big mansions of the rich and famous, only my roast is much better. The only real problem about it is that Emily and I disagree how much A1 sauce is good for it. She'll eventually understand that yes, the whole bottle really is a legitimate way to cook roast (just kidding, I really don't put that much on, but I love A1).
On a serious note though, I have discovered one secret to getting really good roast. Don't cook it in a crockpot. Use an aluminum roaster. One of those big cast aluminum ones with the lid. I use to always cook it in a crockpot. Never again, they just turn out so much better in the roaster.
But really though, married life is good. I'm forever thankful that I have found my wonderful wife Emily, and that we get to begin this new phase of our lives together, establishing great traditions early in our marriage to benefit us later on.

Our first meal in our new place!
There are a lot of firsts I'll be posting about on here, I'm sure!
So, on Sunday we went to our new ward for the first time and were amazed at all the families with super young children :) it will be so different than our last 10 years in singles wards.
After church Ryan made pulled pork sandwiches (Costco has amazing pulled pork!), salad, and fresh pineapple. We only have his old gun table and my folding chair for my keyboard, and his office chair. It was cute! Ryan is so awesome to take care of this meal while I'm off at choir all Sunday morning.
More pictures of our place to come... We are working on getting furniture-- and we will have most of it by Valentines Day!

Our first pet
Doris, I don't know how you swam your way into our hearts so quickly. I mean, you were only a goldfish but you sure had a cute personality for the week that we owned you. You would perk up at the sound of Ryan's voice, ignore our feeding you pellets, and seem to perpetually hug the side of the tank. And I assume that as soon as I wasn't looking you must have started eating because you had a very healthy digestive system.
But alas, you are gone. We sent you off on the porcelain express tonight and thoughtfully cleaned up your toys.
Ryan and I would like to take this moment to thank Morgan who was very communicative with us through the process, as we were running errands when Doris took a turn for the worse:
No immediate plans have been made to acquire more aquatic animals. Doris remains our first pet, though it was ever so brief. I will post pictures soon.
