tidbits you always wanted to know about ryan...written by ME!!

since i KNOW that i will never, in this lifetime, get rye to write 25 things about himself, i thought i'd take a stab at it. after all, i just may know more about him than he does about himself. (he may say the same of me.) so, here i go, attempting to keep the list to 25!....
1...he is loyal.
2...he always smells freshly showered.
3...with just a few sentences, he can have me laughing hysterically.
4...he is random.
5...he is one of the most ethical business men i know.
6...he looks really good in royal blue.
7...he has 2 sisters and one brother. he eats dinner with them almost every Sunday and Wednesday nights.
8...he is good to his mom.
9...his sibling closest in age is 9 years older than him.
10....he loves a clean truck. it hardly ever looks that way.
11...he can be awake, talking and 2 mins. later, he can be in a deep sleep.
12...when he bathes the boys, they always end up smelling better than when i do it. he uses A LOT of Baby Magic on their hair. i love that.
13...his football jersey number in high school was 77. which is now jacks favorite number. he wants to be 'just like dad'. :)
14...he actually owns a Letterman's jacket that hangs in our front hall closet. he has never, to my knowledge, worn it. (think i can sell it on eBay?)
15...i just learned TONIGHT, while we were talking with some other people, that he never graduated from college. very interesting piece of information that we never talked about. guess i just assumed. not like it matters, he has a great job, which he LOVES!
16...he's blind as a bat. won't wear glasses cuz the lenses would be too thick.
17...he is a very helpful husband. he cooks, he cleans, he's wonderful. :)

19...he's a very good kisser.
20...if he knew how good he looks in a baseball hat, he'd wear one more.

25...he is a man of faith. it is reflected in his life.
26...he has seen every episode of M.A.S.H and Seinfeld at least 20 times.
27...he thinks Battlestar Galactica is interesting. (i think it's stupid, but then again, this isn't about ME, is it??? trust me, it's stupid!)
28...i don't think he's read a whole book ALL the way thru since high school. OR EVER!! however, he does read the newspaper.

42...he really likes my parents.
43...he pays all his bills online.
44...he once shoveled a little old mans sidewalk in the middle of a snow storm. he didn't even know the man. our boys still talk about it today. it was an amazing act of kindness, one that i'm so glad our boys got to see.he is teaching them to give to to others by living it out in real life!

49...i love his heart and his humor.
50...he lets me sleep in every Saturday and makes the kids pancakes.
51...he has this thing he does with his mouth when he is really touched by something. one corner goes up. maybe it's something i would only notice but i love it when he does it. i love his sensitive spirit.
52...he has a good memory.
53...he can still make my heart skip a beat when he looks at me a certain way. the same way it did when we first started dating.
54.i know, without a shadow of a doubt, that when he said his wedding vows, he meant them. he shows that to me everyday. when we're old and gray, he'll still be there. i don't ever question that.
55...i love his heart for Jesus. he continues to search to know Him better.
56...i love that he choose me to be his wife. i am honored.

ya, ya, i know i didn't keep this to 25. whatever. there is much to be said about this wonderful man! i could have written 100 more but since it's really late,..it'll have to wait until another day. or MAYBE, just maybe i could get him to add a few....ya, maybe not.
