Hello everyone, welcome to our new blogspot! We decided since our family is starting to grow and getting more busy that this would be a fun way to keep everyone updated.
Where do we start....how about from the beginning! We met at BYU-Idaho, it seemed like we kept bumping into each other, mostly at the gym but at a few other places as well. That is the only part of the story we can agree on; so if you want the rest of the story, ask Ryan, and then if you want the "real story", ask Stephanie. We got engaged July 4th, 2003. It was very sweet and very romantic...despite the little hiccup that almost ruined the entire plan. Fate must have been on Ryan's side 'cause everything ended up panning out (lucky for Steph). After what seemed like eternity (it was only 4 months, with a 2-month separation) we got married on a gorgeous day, November 1st, 2003 in the Oakland Temple.
We both graduated with a Bachelors Degree in April 2006, and walked the stage together. Ryan graduated in Business Management with a Double Minor in Marketing and Spanish. Stephanie got her Bachelors in Health Science and Minored in Business & Communications.
We moved on from the college life to "Sin City." We purchased a home inspection fanchise in Las Vegas called "Pillar to Post." We have had some hold-ups with getting our certification because the Nevada fingerprint department is backed up 6 months!!! In the meantime, we have been trying to stay really positive and have been so blessed! We both have jobs with a company that is based out of Stephanie's hometown of Granite Bay, CA and the owner was in Stephanie's ward when she was a little girl. We love that we get to go to work and spend our days together!
Another blessing that we have received is the new little addition that will be joining our family on October 24th. A baby BOY will arrive just short of our 4-year anniversary. We have loved every minute of the last 4 years together and wouldn't change it for the world; but we can't wait for the baby to join us!

Congrats on starting a blog...
G'day neighbour! You're the people who popped up when I clicked on that mysterious "next blog" link up the top. I'm a writer from Australia, just married (also together for about four years) and actually traveled to California (and other places) last year to meet friends from LA (and other places).
Anyhoo - just procrastinating from study, so good luck with your family and best wishes for the blog.
