Tragedy Strikes!!!!

Okay so worse things could happen - and luckily this is the biggest tragedy we have had. ... On March 17th- the unthinkable happened. My adorable little pink RAZR fell into the parking lot (due to a faulty strap on the adorable little pink RAZR case it was in) and was hit by a car. We had to put her to sleep as the damage was extensive and it was impossible she would recover.
But alas, I am the luckiest girl in the world (especially since the RAZR sells for over $400 if I would have had to just go and buy one....) so a new little RAZR was welcomed into the family.
I know you were all really worried.
Although it is somewhat embarrassing to mention- before my RAZR was replaced I did shed quite a few tears in her untimely passing.
The worst thing was once I had realized the the strap on my case had broken and the RAZR was most definitely laying somewhere between my office and the chinese restaurant where I had picked up hot and sour soup, I frantically drove and spotted it just about to be run over by a car, - I honked my horn and jumped out of my car just in time. I picked it up and was so satisfied that I had rescued it for a moment. The lady who was driving the car rolled down her window and said "wow it must be your lucky day - I almost ran your phone over"
I walked back to my car, opened the case and with horror- realized it was indeed to late, yes I had rescued it from being run over - run over for the second time.... the damage had already been done- ---
but all is well that ends well - I have a new shiny pink RAZR !!!!!

Happpiest Place on Earth

Sorry it has been so long between posts.. I promise I am going to really try and stick to a routine and update on a weekly basis. Oh but this time I have a pretty decent excuse. We just got back from the happiest place on earth.... We both had such a blast at Disneyland. It was a perfect day, we walked on to every single ride and we were able to ride the new Space Mountain TWICE.
We were also able to go to Manhattan Beach, Rodeo Drive, and the LA zoo while we were in California. We had such a good time...
I was able to reconnect with my friend Kate; who I had not talked to since like 5th grade. It was so fun.

We have more pictures that we would love to share from you, (that one is from IT's A SMALL WORLD) -if we' re good enough friends you can go and check them out at our Kodak gallery.

I had not been to Disneyland since I was a baby(and if it wasn't for pictures I wouldn't even believe that I had ever been there!!!) So this trip really was amazing to me. I know Disney World is bigger, and yeah I have been there a couple of times- but Disneyland was "WOW". Maybe it is because now that I am older and I spend less and less time believing that any wish your heart desires can come true, so I appreciated the chance to dream even more. Disneyland was so magically for me this time, sure the rides were not nearly as exciting as say Six Flags- but the day we went to Disneyland - all of my worries and stress melted away- it really felt like it was the happiest place on earth.

We love you all and we miss you - wish we could have been with all of you in Disneyland

Ryan 'n' Joy

Our Newest Edition....

Now while I would like to have a cute picture of a puppy and someday even a child to present with this title... until those blessed days come- this will hold me over. I GOT A PINK RAZR!!!! oh yes it is slim and sleek and so smart, but the very best girliest thing about it is that it is indeed pink- not magenta like some companies try to pass off as pink, mine is a true baby doll, soda pop pink- I am currently taking suggestions on a name- something that works well with its last name of course, Motorola...... And my RAZR, she came with a friend- my lovely little pink blue tooth!!! Oh yes I love being a girl.

But I am sure if you are looking at our blog you were hoping for something a little less superficial then the color of my latest cellular device. Sorry to disappoint... This has been a pretty uneventful week- OH there was Valentines' Day - Ryan surprised me with Roses and Chocolates and a CD and cheese cake and ice cream... like all of my favorites!! He is truly the BEST. I surprised him with (okay I know this is going to sound like more cell phone nerd stuff....) a V CAST music kit and a Transflash card for his phone. Agh, I can't help it okay I work in the cell phone industry - people who work at shoe stores generally have a lot of shoes - its practically the same thing....

22 Days til our trip to sunny California- So far we are hoping to hit up In n out burger, DisneyLand, California Adventure, the beach, Paso Robles ..... the sky is the limit

Oh and I am being sent on a tiny trip to Colorado for work - its considered a reward - its just for one night but I am staying in a really nice resort in Keystone. Downside is I have to leave my one true love here - yep its going to be our first night apart....

sorry to totally bore you all - hopefully the next blog will be more exciting

Introduction

Well its been nearly nine months since we said "I do" so we figured it was about time to give "birth" to our baby - So here it is a brand new blog. Since we have been married we have been busy getting used to married life. Everyday we seem to learn something new. Married life has proven to be 100% more fun than single life ever was for either of us. Maybe that is why we were a perfect match for each other. Ryan is still busy at the U working hard on finishing his degree in Urban Planning. I am still spending my days working for corporate America, trying desperately to move my way up in this crazy world. We are hoping the blog will help keep us closer to all of our friends and family that live so far away. Big new and little everyday humor will be posted on this blog for all to see, that way even though we are seperated by the miles, it might feel like we are a little bit closer.... Keep checking our blog- I am sure it will prove to be more entertaining then the 1st Newlyweds, and this one won't be coming to a tragic end.
