something to remember...

I recently got to introduce Hugh Downs before he spoke to some students. It was a really cool opportunity. He has the most amazing and interesting stories. He's a wonderful man and is so important to the world of broadcasting. Interesting fact: He just turned 91 and still holds a current pilots license.

He had me laughing before we got our picture taken.

Saturday breakfast:



I forgot how much I love to sleep in and then make breakfast!

Valentine's Day:

We decided to stay in for Valentine's Day. Christian really wanted Famous Dave's...but he got Not-So-Famous-Ryann's instead. Thanks to Denise, the appetizer was a hit! We named them "Spicy Piglets." Jalepeno peppers stuffed with crispy bacon and bubbly cheese. Christian loved them!


For dinner I made pulled pork, mashed reds and beans with bacon. It was bacon overload. Christian never gets it because I hate bacon so I don't buy it. But I wanted to make him something he loves. Plus, I left the chunks real big in the beans so I could easily pick it out and give it to him.


Instead of buying each other gifts, Christian purchased us a combined gift. And I'm so so excited for what it is. Are you ready?

He got me...well us...tickets to go see...



EDWARD SHARPE AND THE MAGNETIC ZEROS! I'm so excited I could cry.

PS, I shouldn't have bragged about the amazing weather last time. It's been freezing the last two days. Where did the sunshine go?

We needed out last night. So we picked up some In-N-Out and headed to the boat docks. Tempe Town Lake is so magical at night, even if the water smells like a dumpster.




PS, did I mention it was 77 degrees yesterday? Cause it was.

I really enjoy our Sunday bike rides. Even if today's was a bit on the chilly side.
