20 facts about Ryan!

I don't blog about Ryan very often, even though he's a huge part of my life. I love him so much! So I've decided since I wrote out 20 little known boring facts about myself, I'd come up with 20 facts for Ryan too, since this IS our blog, afterall.

So here you go.

Facts I know about Ryan that not many other people know.

1- Ryan is an amazing cook. His taste in food is extravagant, he likes things with lots of flavor and texture and he does an excellent job at making up great recipes.

2- He is sensitive. He has such a sweet sensitive soul. 

3- He is all about being the manliest man. He has even researched the art of manhood.. Meaning how to be best at chivalry, outdoor skills, things like that. 

4- He doesn't like candy very much. He can eat a piece or two and he's done. Chocolate too. It blows my mind.

5- When he was younger he put himself through ninja training, that's what he called it. He ran around the ranch smacking things with sticks, jumping off small cliffs into ravines, climbing up vines and trees... All on his own. He's a self trained ninja.

6- He wanted to be a construction worker up until he got home from his mission, then he decided to go with his dad's counsel and go into accounting. With no regrets.

7- He has a patch of dark skin on his left upper quadrant of his abdomen. It's a skin condition that's been caused by halo moles, at least that's what he's been told by dermatologists.

8- He's a good problem solver. When I come to him with a problem that needs to be solved he almost always can solve it. He's creative in that way.

9- He still opens the car door for me, even after almost 5 years of marriage. I love that.

10- Ryan doesn't get angry easily. Seriously. I've seen him noteably angry only a couple of times our whole marriage. 

11- When were driving down the highway at night he can look at the backlights of a car and guess what type of car it is and tell me everything about the car. He almost always guesses right, just by the shape of the backlights. It's nuts. He knows a lot about cars.

12- He's working on getting his CPA, he's a couple credits away from being able to take the CPA exam. So he's registering for college (even though he already has a bachelors degree in accounting) to take an ethics course that's required to test.

13- EmmaLee and AddiLyn have him wrapped around their pinky fingers.. He has the hardest time disciplining Emma. He does it anyways but he always feels so bad afterwards. I've been putting him through a crash course on how to discipline. I'm the mean one. ;)

14- Ryan has a goal to get up early and read scriptures, and he listens to conference talks to and from work. He's amazing.

15- His favorite superhero is captain America.

16- He asked me to marry him on both knees :)

17- He has a need for speed when driving. Cars, four wheelers, bikes, you name it. If it's driveable he will drive it about as fast as it can go at least once. It drives me nuts! Crazy man driver. 

18- He doesn't like playing games (card games, chess.. Stuff like that) with me because he hates losing :) 

19- Ryan loves doing things outdoors. He's a mountain man at heart.

20- He's the best husband and friend a girl could ask for! I'm a lucky girl to be able to call him my man :)
