Here's to a lifetime with you...

This was love at first sight, love everlasting:a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected -- in sofar as it could be a matter of conscious awareness;it took entire possession of her, and she understood,with joyous amazement, that this was for life....Thomas Mann

In the instant that our lips met Ryan, I felt something amazing. Only a flicker at first. But something almost electrical that reaffirmed what I’ve been thinking since the moment I laid eyes on you…this feeling will last forever. And suddenly, from that moment on, I realized that I would no longer be in this world alone. Our first kiss was the beginning of love and the end of everything that came before.

And I only wish that I could tell you how much I love you. Just how much you’ve touched my life in such a short time. How every time I hear your voice, it touches my heart in such a way that no one can ever come close to. How every time you kiss me, my entire body tingles. How just the thought of your arms around me are enough to make me happy for the rest of my life. And how every breath I take makes me love you more and more. But I can’t tell you how I truly feel and how much I love you, because there aren’t enough words in the entire world that can justly explain just how I love you.

You are and always have been my dream and I don’t know how I’ve lived without you for as long as I have. Thank you so much baby for helping me survive this semester so far. But more than that, thank you in advance for the years to come.

This is our story...

Ryan Andrew Neuhart saved my life. Although, as his designated driver the first night we met, he would probably say it was the other way around. We talked all night, I drove him home and he nervously asked me out to dinner. The butterflies were instantaneous.
To make a short story even shorter…he took me out to dinner a few times, I kicked his butt in Tony Hawk once, and I fell completely head over heals in love with him after our walk at Doug’s party. I went into the summer completely thrilled with the idea of not having a boyfriend. I was going to be single and love it.
But something amazing happened instead. Ryan came into my life when I least expected it. And now that amazing man is my life. He is the man of my dreams and the one I’m going to spend the rest of my life making happy. His intelligence leaves me in awe, his witty comments leave me smiling, his kisses leave me breathless and I thank God everyday for bringing him into my life. You are my world Ryan. I love you with all my heart.

The REAL Story

The true story of Kristina and Ryan is a bit different than what she might tell you. The fact of the matter is that SHE saved MY life. Yes, it's true that she was my designated driver that night and she literally DID save my life there, but there is so much more to the story she might not tell you. Lucky for you, I'm here. That night we were not only introduced...we did not only enjoy witty banter and hilarious anecdotes...but she also managed to sweep me off my feet. I knew I had to make my move and ask her out. On the first date, things were clicking. Of course I was nervous and did my usual nervous Ryan thing because...well, because I'm Ryan. But she was awesome about it. She was willing to overlook all my little follies and trips of the lip and keep it going with me. She is a sweetie, you know.

It wasn't long after that when I started catching serious feelings. We would get together and everything just fell into place like I had always hoped it would (though I somehow still manage to suppress my feelings over Tony Hawk). Finally that fateful night at Doug's party, I got an overwhelming feeling of just knowing that there is no other girl in the world for me. I have never been so sure of anything in my life...and I could not have been any happier about it. The feeling was indescribable. I don't think I stopped cheesin' all night.

And ever since then, the dream has continued. She has changed my life forever and I am going to spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to her. You are my world sweetie and I love you more than I could have ever imagined. This summer was a whirlwind and I can't wait to keep it going :).
