Ryan and I met very unceremoniously at work. I was the new LPN starting dialysis and having never worked in that part of the medical field. I was told by our boss that I would start my training with Ryan. Our boss didn't tell him that. I showed up for work bright and early one Saturday at 5:00am and introduced myself. I then had to inform Ryan he was suppose to be training me. Which has pretty much been how the rest of our relationship has gone.

Disney is my home away from home and Ryan hadn't been since we were kids. I dreamed about taking him since the day we started dating. We finally were able to go and I couldn't wait to show him all of the new Star Wars exhibits they had added. He asked me what I wanted to do first and naturally I said we had to meet Chewbacca. The first thing I had to do was give Chewie a giant hug; it always amazes me how tall he is. I commented on his height and he turned, bent down, and motioned to the ground to show how tall me were in comparison. Ryan took that as his cue to get down on one knee to propose! I said yes and immediately turned to Chewie to ask "Did you know about this?!" Regardless we got the best Wookie hug afterwards.

We’re getting married! Sara is in school for her BSN and working full time. Ryan is working full time in dialysis and subbing part time. Who has time to plan a big, white wedding?! Not us. This is more our style. Casual. Our closest loved ones. Lots of beer.
