The Sixth
I have been keeping a thankful journal about Ryan for years. It's funny to see how the qualities I'm thankful for evolve over time. For instance right now I'm going through a poop phobia and Ryan's cleaning up of potty accidents puts him right up there under 'superhero' status, one step above jewelry or a day at the spa. So a lot of my entries seem silly, but I will look back and remember he was always exactly what I needed. Here are six of my favorites today, in no particular order.
1. I love that for the past 25 weeks, you have made it your personal mission to get rid of the 207+ sights and smells in the house that have made me vomit.
2. I love that you give me a few hours to myself, and when I come back I find pictures on the camera like this.
3. I love that our first dramatic fight was over decorating our closet-sized apartment in Logan, and now that my taste has evolved I can't do a single thing without you.
4. I love that you encourage my music and have kept that part of me alive that would have otherwise gotten lost in a hectic life.
5. I love that our idea of quality time at the end of the day is Mario Kart and a box of fruit roll-ups.
6. I love that even though -this-
has sometimes brought out the worst in me, it has brought to life your patience, perseverance, and incurable optimism as a father and human being. Happy six years Ryan, and the many more August 6ths to come. (I know I am a day late.)

What a clever and fun idea. I love how you are able to look back and see all the things that you grow to love more and more about Ryan, that is really so precious (in a marriage/couple way).
I am jealous of the fact that you are able to have someone to pawn the poops on. Hmmm maybe our next kid.
Love your idea of a great way to spend quality time, who wouldn't love that idea. And fruit roll-ups, genius.
Happy Anniversary!! I hope that you had a great day together.
Happy Anniversary! I am so glad the Lord brought you together! Your marriage has been and continues to be a blessing to us.
Thanks for sharing your thankful journal with us. You are both very special to us and we miss having you near enough to just run up to. You'll have many more happy anniversaries, but never again a sixth on the sixth!
Happy Anniversary! I remember your wedding day well, thats the first time I sat and thought o.k I'm not going to get married and I'm o.k. with it. 2 months later I was with Garrett and 3 monthes later engaged and it's all because you guys got married so thank you!

Happy Anniversary! I can't believe it has been six years. I am so glad to hear you are still happy together!
