DeVoTed RoDeo PaRtneRs

(no scanner, so you get to enjoy a picture of a picture instead)

In the summer of 2000, I met this crazy fella. Yep, that blonde beauty pictured above is none other than John Ryan Kleinman himself! One night during that summer, we went with some friends to a Rodeo & some how made up the term, "Rodeo Partners" which basically meant being friends with benefits or what have you. I thought this was all just a silly joke until later that night when Ryan took me home, walked me to the door (weird, right? It's not like it was the end of a date.) where we stood talking till I reached for the door handle & then he suggested we hangout on my trampoline. Then, it hit me! "Oh no! He thinks I was being serious about that 'rodeo partner' thing!" I just ended up telling him I was tired & needed to go to bed :) It wasn't 5 years later when we were dating that the truth of that night came to the surface.
Fast forward to a picture of us in 2006! Who woulda thought THIS is where we would end up? Certainly not me.
2007
2008
& NOW, 2009!
There is NEVER a dull moment with this guy! Heres to 3 years of marriage & nine years of knowin' ya Ron!
