Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary

Today, I married the love of my life in Las Vegas, Nevada. It has been a great two years!

Thanks for putting up with me Ryan.

Six Months....WOW!

Six months....can you believe it? So I keeping getting ask....how is your marriage? First off, my initial reaction is, it has only been six months people. Overall, marriage has suited me just fine. I very much like being married to Ryan. We have a great relationship. We laugh, we joke, we have a great time. We have our own lives as well. Ryan has taught me so much about myself and the world. He taught me how to relax and have a great time. We both are naturally serious people, but put us in a room together....we magically become funny and less serious. Ryan has made me become a stronger person. I make decisions and not let people walk on top of me. Ryan has made me be the person I am proud of. He has stood by me when I was super sick and still told me I looked beautiful. Our marriage so far.... it's perfect for me! I am very happy and very proud of what we built and we have the tools to make it a successful marriage. We both understand that marriage is not 50-50. Marriage is 100% from both people.

For our sixth month anniversary....we went back to the place where it all went down. We went back to Vegas, baby! Ryan had a craps tournament. We gambled our ass's off! We had such a great time. I won a very nice fleece pull over. Ryan won a daily drawing of $150 from PH. We both got into a blackjack tournament in November. Which, I am sure we will both go to. Overall, just a fantastic time. We both heart Vegas so much!

I am a Denke now

I finally was able to change my name. I am so excited!!! It is extremely weird to now have a different last name. I have to now officially sign another name. I never practiced it before, it will take a few years to prefect is and get it to the style that I want. I am just so glad to have it changed. It makes marriage more real to me now.

I have to start the process of changing everything over. I have done a lot so far, but this is going to take a few years for everything to get officially changed over. It is hard work!

Wedding Bliss

Ryan and I were married in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 26th, 2008. We had our ceremony in an outside gazebo at the Flamingo inside of their wildlife habitat. No Elvis in sight! Our reception was held at Battista’s Hole in the Wall Restaurant. I was this great Italian place with original owners. Very cute and quant. I wouldn’t have changed a thing! Well maybe the getting sick and missing most of the reception part.

I will try to get more up soon. I am having problems with the CD of photos. The photos were taken by the VERY talented Chelsea Nicole Photography.

Thank you so much to our friends and especially our family for making the journey out to Vegas.
