when did you know you had found "the one"?
she said: I don’t know. There was never an “aha!” moment. It was a gradual feeling and confirmation that kept coming every day after we had been together for about 8 months.

he said: She tells me every single day how much she loves me and how much she believes in me.
This is us on our first date at the Preference dance in 2010. I can't get over how 1) Young we look and 2) Awkward we look haha I think we were definitely still at the stage of figuring each other out
... And now 2 years later we have just welcomed our sweet baby Cambree into the world.
It's been 2 years and I love my Ry more than anything. If the next 2 are as good as these ones have been, then I will be a very lucky girl.
Love Car
