You forgot one Darice. When we were younger he used to dress up in my skirt and prance around the house. He has surprisingly nice legs. :)

I love this post. Miss you guys!

Okay, so funny! The dora lunch box thing is hilarious. Plus the dressed in goth thing cracked me up. I totally am imagining him in eyeliner now.

Game on, I love tennis. I knew I liked Ryan for a reason. He has a good name and likes tennis, nothing better!!!

I love lists like this. :) Your Ryan's 33 years, and 33 things, are awesome! You're a great couple and family. Much love!

Darice said...

Brooke I didn't know he used to do that! I can totally picture it though- anything to get a laugh- or impress a girl!

You'll have to ask Kristen about when Ryan tried on her dresses while they were studying once!

Sometimes i just have to shake my head- you grew up with him so you know what I mean! Wouldn't trade him for the world- seriously:)

Jake & Brooke said...

Me neither! He's awesome!

I'll definately have to talk to Kristen now!

Okay, I'm starting to get a little weirded-out by the "wearing dresses" thing, but you're right, he is a good guy and I know you'll be together forever!
