Do you remember in the TV show Friends how Monica and Chandler snuck around and kept their relationship a secret from their friends? Well, you could call Ryan and Kathryn the real-life Monica and Chandler, as that is what they did for a while when they first started seeing each other. They kept their relationship a mystery for a while, but what is not a mystery is why Ryan was so into Kathryn right from the start.
“How loving she is really stood out,” he said. “How much fun she was. How we could do anything together. It was always just a blast. We always find fun things to do.”
Whether they are playing games, going to breweries, watching movies, getting involved in the community, or going camping, this couple loves spending time together and is always having fun. They make the most out of life because of how much they love one another, and Ryan will tell you his wife is so easy to love.
Kathryn has always helped guide Ryan in the right direction, and she has stood by his side through all the ups and downs in life. She also has a great smile and a bode of confidence, and she has a way of talking to anyone about anything.
“She’s taught me patience,” Ryan said. “She’s shown me how to find the good in people and in general. To be confident in myself and find the best in things. She’s also shown me how to really love somebody.”
Ryan tries every day to reciprocate the love his wife shows for him, and that is because she deserves that and so much more. She is such an amazing individual who brings so much happiness and joy into this world, and that spreads to their children.
“She is always there for the kids when it comes to making sure the schoolwork is done,” Ryan said. “Any events at school, she supports them there. She makes their lunch and does homework with them. Any activities going on at school, she makes sure they are dressed up for them and she is there. When we are at home, it is all about them and she cherishes every moment with them.”
Ryan said his wife focuses on making sure their children always feel loved, and that when they are not in school, they are doing something. That might be going to the beach or the mountains, going to the lake or hiking, or it might be playing games and reading stories together. Regardless of what they are doing, as long as Kathryn is involved, it is sure to be something fun and enjoyable.
The kids will be able to look up to their mom as they grow older and appreciate all her hard work and dedication. Not just to them, but in her job. She is a consult to NASA, and she is the biggest team player they have probably ever had. Every day she gets up with a smile on her face and winds up being the hardest worker in any room she is working from that day.
A lot of people in Kathryn’s life can say the same thing in a different regard. She is the kind of friend who is going to stand up for you and will not judge you. Instead, she lends a listening ear and does research to help resolve a problem if need be.
At the end of the day, all that Kathryn does for her family and friends does not go unnoticed. She is appreciated for how wonderful and special she is, and her giving nature is always on full display.
Also, Ryan just wants Kathryn to know that, as great as their relationship has been up to this point, he is looking forward to the future!
“I want her to know that I might not hug her enough or text her how much I love her enough, but to know that I’m in love with her and there isn’t a day that goes by that I think about how lucky I have it. She needs to know that the kids love her and she is their world and they look up to her all the time. I want her to feel so special this year and every year moving forward.” – Ryan
