When I first met my brother in law, Ryan, he was a freshman in college.  I’ve been fortunate to watch him grow into a fantastic young man and am proud to call him my brother.  He is a teddy bear of a guy that is obsessed with fly fishing so much that we say he will marry a mermaid.  It was only fitting that he be offered a job in Colorado for an outdoor company. We were very excited for his new opportunity but obviously sad that he will no longer be a 2 hour drive away.  My husband helped him move by driving his car across country…one last joint adventure before this new chapter of his life starts.  Thankfully, we were blessed with beautiful lighting the night before he left.  The kids were so excited to see him, as always.  The next morning was a bit harder.  They left early in the morning and it was difficult to see his car pull out of the driveway one last time.  Thankfully we Facetime him often and he will be back for Thanksgiving very shortly.  We are proud of you Uncle Ry Ry and miss you dearly!  xoxoxo
