Crazy Adventures of Ryan in Alaska

So i have decided i was going to post everything i know about what  Ryan is doing in Alaska on here so that if you want to know you can! :)  If you don't know Ryan is in Alaska working for 2 months, he will come home the around the 1st of October. He left one August 5th. What i know is he is having a blast :) he is totally loving it up there. He is working for Bear foot Adventures, the guy who is in charge his name is Chet. Ryan says he is super cool, and that they are getting along great, which makes me so happy. :) Ryan went on his first hunt last wednsday, i have only got to  talk to him once. This first hunt is Big horn Sheep Hunt. When He called me on Sunday morning, he said that they had got the sheep and had got a wolf also. he sound like he is having a blast. this hunt he is on is a 10 day hunt, so if the hunter gets their game early into the hunt they still stay out for the 10 days cause they are dropped off and picked up by a plane. The guide of this hunt is Justin, Ryan said that he was really cool and down to earth, which is also great for him. The hunter is Travis, Ryan knows Travis from the Western lands Outfitters, who he also works for in the fall. Travis had called Chet and requested Ryan, which is huge. Ryan is just loving it up there, Which makes it a little easier on me. So far while Ryan has been gone we have had a few bumps, June ( our dog) has been super depressed and only eating 1 meal. but i think she is coming out of it. I have picked out paint samples for our bedroom, and i deciding on colors for our dogs sleeping rug im going to make them. so that all the up date i have right now, stay tuned for more. :) 

Update since the wedding :)

Our wedding was Fabulous... it was so awesome. I am so glad to be married and have the planning over with :) everything thing looked so beautiful. Every one that was in the wedding looked great and the parents were so amazing ( thank you so much for everything that you did parents ) we love you so much. After the the wedding we spent the night at the anniversary inn in the jesse james hide out room. it was pretty cool looking. we didnt leave on our honeymoon till saturday, so we were able to get a little settled into our house which was really nice. Saturday is when we left for our honeymoon, it was amazing, ryan planned it all by himself with a little help from Teri. But it was a suprise so i didnt know where we were going till we got closer to each place. We spent 2 days in San Deigo and went to Sea World, which was so fun cause i had never been there. But the really fun part was the Cruise we went to Mexico. It was a blast other then i got sick every night, which kinda put a damper on things :) but other then that it was so fun i really loved it. We want to go again but this time i will take even better meds cause i didnt take strong enough meds :) But married life has been great, it really doesnt feel any different other then we live together and i dont have to drive home anymore ( which is nice by the way ) here is some pictures of the wedding and some of our formals that we took. Ashley did an amazing job. If any one need pictures i would totally suggest her cause does a wonderful job. Thanks so much Ashley :)

our pretty cake and ryan seeing me for the first time :)

We started cleaning and remodeling our house, ryan is building all new kitchen cabinets cause the ones that are in there right now are white metal cabinets and there i like no room to put anything and we maybe added in a closet so we have more room for our cloths cause there is like no storage in this house at all we maybe living out of laundry baskets for a bit :) but if ryan decided to do the closet we have to tear out a wall so will have to that with in the next couple of days so we done ruin our sutff with all the gross dust. but man was it a core to clean this house i mean its a small house but it was so gross i spent 2 hours in the bath room cleaning man it was to nasty and i didnt clean any thing in the kitchen cause we are replacing most everything so i just cleaned the stove and man that was so gross and the worst part of the stove was there was a dead burnt mouse under it....eeeeewwww gross i know i freaked out a little but were getting it put together so it can be our home :) it will be so nice to have our own house heres a picture or the outside i post before and afte pictures of it cause were planning on alot to do to this house

So i am just doing a bunch of wedding plans, they are going as smooth as they possible can. School is going great i am totally loving it,, i will like it better when i am actually getting paid to do it. But every one should come get something done. I need to pass off alot of things so come down, they have pretty good prices on nails and pedis. I am there Monday through Thurday from 4:30-8:00 so just let me know if you want to get anything done. Lets see what else, Ryans running in the kids mile on saturday so that will be way fun for him. He loves running and compiting in things like that.
