16th Wedding Anniversary

It was our 16th wedding anniversary a few days ago. We went to "The Roof" restaurant adjacent to the Temple. We were there in time to see the Christmas lights go on in Temple Square. And thanks to a great friend with "connections" we scored a seat by the window. After an incredible dinner, we went to Temple Square to view the lights. We were amazed at how relaxing a walk through Temple Square can be when you're not herding 4 kids around the place. Not even once did we have to say phrases like: "Get out of the fountain," or "Where did you lose your glove...and quit touching the lights," or "Why didn't you stay with us? We've been looking for you for 20 minutes." It was very nice.

For anyone that knows Erica, you know what an amazing person she is. Did I luck out, or what?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

You two don't look old enough to have been married for 16 years. IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Seems like only a couple years ago, but you have a family to prove it. Just so you don't have any pre endorsed checks from Erica, Ryan.

So proud of the two of you and your wonderful family. One bit of advice tho'. Don't wish those days of raising kids get away from you. Soon you well be rattling around in your house and wishing there were some little hands to keep out of "stuff".

Love,

Dad

Yeah you lucked out FOR SURE.
She's BEAUTIFUL.
I don't know how you did it Ryan.
But don't sell yourself too short, I mean she DID decide to marry you.
That was nice of her ;)
