About Me

  Hi again =)).  I'm so glad we keep running into each other!  This is fabulous, familiar faces are my favorite.  I'm Ryan, often times referred to as Ry.  Before you start thinking to yourself "Ryan's a boy name," let me tell you I was in fact named after a female Ryan.  My mom grew up watching Ryan's Hope, a popular Soap Opera and the main charater was a girl.  I just so happened to be the first born so I was blessed with this unique moniker.  It fits me though.  I'm an unconventional gal who enjoys every aspect of life.  I have the LARGEST sweet tooth so much that I think when the man upstairs designed my mouth, he left off most of my savory taste buds for sweeter ones.  Expect to see more Sweet Buds recipes than Savory. 

  This, my new friends, is Igor.  He is my love, my boyfriend.  He's what sets me apart from that dreaded single category.  He falls under those incredible men of dating a single mom and appreciates her for everything she is and does.  He has been in our lives for 2 amazing, fun-filled years.  My daughter absolutely adores him.  I absolutely adore him.  He has helped me grow into more of a confident, strong, woman.  We are both stubborn and butt heads more times than not, but we compliment each other very well. 

He's the macaroni to my cheese, the rootbeer to my float, the crunchy PB to our J.

This. This very thing is my reason for anything.  She is my heart walking on the outside of my body.  24ish is essentially built around her.  She provides sunshine to my life and amazes me every day.  Before I get to mushy, this is Abigail, my 4 year old.  She goes by Abs, Abi, or if your her crazy mother, Charlie.  Most children get the lovely sweetheart or pumpkin or even playful names such as squirt or munchkin.  Nope, not mine.  This is my Charlie.  Quick facts about her:

She dresses herself

She is the sassiest thing that walks

She is the non-pickiest eater I could hope for

She is quite the gymnist

Her favorite color is purple

Her favorite animal is Zebras

Currently, we just finished the 19th replay of Tangled

And together, we rule the world.

Lastly, these are the incredible people I am blessed to call my family.  They are the ones that keep me afloat when I start sinking.  They are the rock that allows me to do what I do.  Without them, I wouldn't be as successful as I am today.  My eternal thanks goes all to them.

With love,
Ry
