The secret to our happy marriage

Back when we first got married, we had a disagreement about something and both were convinced that we were right and the other person was wrong.  And there was no budging.  I don't even remember what it was about now, which just goes to show that it usually doesn't matter in the long run.  So right then and there we decided to take turns being "right."  Ryan kindly let me have 2009.  So come May 2, 2010, it was his year to be "right" and we've traded each year since.  It obviously started as a joke but has worked great several times in the last three years in keeping disagreements from becoming heated, simply because we have to let the other person be right sometimes and we end up laughing over our silly rule.  So, Ryan, since I had 2011, I now give you your turn of always being the "right" one in 2012.  

But since I have one more day of being "right" (I'm actually writing this on May 1st), I would like to mention a few things that actually, no matter the year, I am always right about: 

• Ryan is amazingly patient and kind.
• Ryan works SO hard for our family.
• Ryan will drop almost anything (I say almost because I don't know about a BYU football game- and I don't dare try) to help me when I ask for help, and often even when I don't ask for help.
• Ryan is the best husband (for me) and father (for Lucy).
• I am one lucky girl.

It's been a great three years and I love that each year just gets better!  Happy Anniversary, Ry!  Thanks for marrying me. :)
