Jumpin the Broom :)

As we end this week, this long, hot, sweltering week, I begin the countdown to one of the biggest, momentous occasions in my life; that once in a lifetime, heart in your throats, hold back the tears moment.  In ten days, almost nine, I will marry the man of my prayers and dreams.  Ryan came into my life when I least expected it. I was going through an impossibly horrible divorce and had a child in the hospital clinging to life. I don't know what he was thinking, involving himself in a train wreck like myself....but I am glad that he did. Ryan has been right by my side, holding me steady while going through the triumphs and tragedies brought on by our little girl, Lexi's medical condition. He has held both of my miracles out to the world as his own, never batting an eye or doubting for a second that the three of us girls belonged by his side always and forever, as if that was all we ever knew. Ryan has changed me for the better, proving to me that I have worth, that I am valuable, even only if to him.  He has taken me, broken, shattered rather, and put me back together....slowly and gently, letting me know that no matter what happens, he will always be behind me to catch me, in front of me to guide me, and next to me to hold me hand through all of life's journeys.  For all of the days of my life, I will love this man.  His love is a love like no other, and I feel so fortunate beyond anything that words could even begin to describe to have him as my husband and the father of my children. Ryan, I love you. Heart and soul. Forever. xoxoxo
