March 18, 2006 Ryan and I were married. We were talking to each other the other day about how blessed we have been. We both are amazed at how beautiful our marriage has been. The longer we are married, the more and more we appreciate each other and how lucky we are to have one another. It really is the Lord who keeps us humble and serving one another, and I love seeing His Holy Spirit alive in our lives.
This year for our Anniversary, Ryan surprised me and planned the whole thing. Ryan arranged for Josiah to have a babysitter for the night and we left for a whole day! We left after I got off work and began to drive up the coast. Ryan drove a roundabout route to confuse me, and I was super confused indeed. Every new turn I was convinced we were going to Morro Bay, then Paso Robles, then Cayucus, Harmony (where we explored the tiny 5 shop town) and finally Cambria. We pulled up to the JPatrick Bed and Breakfast where Ryan had made reservations for one night. It was amazing and so fun to hang out together, appreciating one another and the beautiful area. We explored Cambria, ate at a great restaurant, and picnicked on the beach. We met some great people at the bed and breakfast over their wine and cheese hour and later on, cookies and milk.
Here are a few pics of the Bed and Breakfast.
Our room with a cozy fireplace, perfect for the rainy weekend!
Banana Stuffed French Toast breakfast! Yummy! 
Their sweet note on our bed. We even got to sleep in since we didn't have the little man. What a treat! 
Hanging out at the cookies and milk hour.On our way home we had some extra time, so Ryan indulged me by going with me to the Humane Society to pet the puppies and kittens. Super fun- I absolutely loved it! He did make me promise not to want a pet, as now would be a horrible time for a new pet.
Kittens...
Super cute lab who just wanted some lovin.
...and score! They even had 8 week chiuaua puppies.We loved getting to take some time out to invest in our marriage and just be alone together. We hope to be purposeful in setting time aside for each other, even as life gets crazier and crazier. It sure is worth it!

What a romantic fellow you turned out to be, Ryan! I liked the pictures of the interior of the B&B, as it's old-fashioned looking, just as I am!!
You've made it to your 5th anniversary with apparent ease. A good start toward 50!! Seriously, it's great to see you both so happy. Congratulations!!
Thanks for the pictures! Love, GM
It's hard to believe it's been 5 years already! How good of God to bring you two together, hold you together, and bless you with the addition of little Josiah.
I'm excited to think that Kelly & John will be seeing the three of you before long. Enjoy!
Hugs to you! ~Aunt Karen~
So glad you had a great anniversary! Five years! It makes me teary eyed because I was pregnant with Nayeli at your wedding so she's about to turn five too. :( Too old. Miss you! Love Rhiannon
We love you!!! So thankful for friends that encourage us to prioritize our marriage and family. Your marriage is not only a blessing to you but to the rest of us!
