Two years of US!

In honor of our second anniversary, I thought I'd document our entire relationship from the beginning. Hold onto your hats.



We meet! Actually, this is a little while after we met. The first time we really met was on a plane flying out of Detroit, but we didn't find each other again for about a month after. This picture was taken in December '06, about a week after we started dating.

We didn't dilly-dally. By February, we were engaged. This picture was taken at Provo Temple about an hour after Ryan asked me to marry him. I said yes.


We were married in the Boise Temple on April 28, 2007. This is my favorite picture of our wedding day. We both look so excited we're about to pop.

We honeymooned at Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon coast. We both happened to have the same favorite vacation spot when we were kids, so picking a location wasn't hard.

We've been pretty thick ever since, having good times . . .

. . . and angry times . . .

. . . windy times . . .

. . . having adventures . . .

. . . and generally just enjoying each other's company.

And here we are today!

Our little people.

Isaac literally loves the four wheeler more than anything, except for Bapa maybe (that's Grandpa).
Serious business.
This is Rob exploring the fifth wheel Ryan and I live in.
What's Rob doing here? It's open to interpretation.
Isaac appreciates the finer things in life.
He is even more smoochable in person, if you can believe it.
We sure like this little fella.
Rob took his costume very seriously.

We find we have plenty of spare time these days. Here are some pictures of our last couple of trips to the Oregon Coast and Seattle.

We like each other a lot.
I snapped this picture of bright and shiny Seattle from a dock on the waterfront.
This is a beach at Cape Kiwanda, Oregon. It's the same beach we stayed at on our honeymoon.
Yep, we stopped in Forks. This is the high school. The very one.
What a beaut'! Note that Ryan is completely soaked (as was I) from going fishing in that super-duper vessel he's standing by.
This is a gorgeous rain forest on the Olympic Peninsula. This boardwalk is 3 miles long and goes all the way to the ocean.
A pretty impressive squash, no?
We posed with this crispy mummy in a curiosity shop in Seattle.
A walk on the wild side for the McLean family.
Plenty of Jellyfish at the aquarium.
Sharks!

Ryan is in a tube going through the shark tank. He is very brave and impetuous.
