Our start

Our Life

I have decided to create a blog about our life.  I have had so many thoughts come to my mind and at times wanted to capture them. I will first tell a little bit about ourselves. 
Rick and I were both older when we met and eventually got married. Before then, I had often wondered if I would ever get married or even have kids. I can honestly say that I am thankful that  I had waited for that "right person" as some may say. Rick is honestly one of those rare good guys. I am not just saying that because I am married to him but anyone that even knows him can attest to that. We started trying for kids right away. As I had mentioned we were both older. I was able to get pregnant with Ryder after 5 months. I absolutely loved being pregnant. At the time I worked full-time in Ogden at Aspen Homes New Construction.  I enjoyed every minute of my pregnancy, I loved it. We had the name Ryder picked out right away. At the time we had no idea if he was going to be a boy or girl but " Ryder" is what we called  the baby. I may have been odd but I really wanted a boy. I thought boys were so fun and full of energy. We were blessed when Ryder was born. I loved him the moment I saw him and to this day I can't ever imagine loving someone as much as I love him. Rick and I had planned on having three kids. My heart aches for more kids, but that is a whole different subject.
I lived up North when I met Rick and he lived in Alpine. When we got married we got a home in Traverse Mountain. Utah County was so different to me and I at first I hated it. I know that is a strong word but that is how I felt. I now love it. It is so pretty and peaceful and an all around nice place to live. I have met so many wonderful people here. Ryder has so many cute little friends. Rick and I are happy to be at this place in our lives. The wait may have been long but oh so worth it.
