Ryan's Grandparents are everything that I hope my happily ever after turns into! Tomorrow they will have been married for 39 years of marriage! If that doesn't inspire you I don't know what will! I met them two years ago.. I went to Michigan to Ryan's brothers wedding. Nancy is kind, sweet, caring, compassionate, funny woman.... I look up to her in so many ways I don't think she will ever understand. There are people that you meet in life and you just hit it off. I remember when I first started talking to Nancy on facebook before meeting her...we just hit it off. Michael is a heart of gold, sweet, caring, loves to pick on me, and in Michael I see Ryan. Ryan is just like his grandfather! His grandfather is his hero! I can see it in his face when he talks to him and about him. Me growing up in a family where my dad left me it brings joy to my life to be surrounded like men like Michael who love and cherish their family.
I recently asked Nancy how Michael and her met..They had met in high school and dated then broke up and then they connected back when they were in the 30s. She said that she fell in love with because he knew the meaning of family. love, respect, honesty, and how to treat women. Listening to this brought such joy and inspiration! Two people through 39 years of marriage loving each other with such passion and joy! When looking around at people in marriage these days I see people who don't value each other at times... or they just give up! These people inspire me to fight for whatever I want in life and never to give up.
When they came to our wedding we were on our way to take them to eat some Mexican food. Ryan and his friend were in one car. I was in the car with the grandparents and my man of honor abel. I was trying to give Grandpa Michael directions and at the same time Nancy was talking and he couldn't hear me over her.... Abel and I could not stop laughing at them yelling at each other because they couldn't hear.... Grandpa Michael said you know one time we went on a trip and I bet her she couldn't be quiet for 20 mins!!! He said she tried really hard! Abel leaned over to me with tear in his eyes from laughter and said you know this is sooo you and Ryan!!!
