See You in September

I absolutely love this time of year. Brisk mornings, sweatshirts and jeans, the glow of dusk, the anticipation of fall. The beginning of September is also special to me because it's when Ryan and I began dating 9 years ago! I always get butterflies in my stomach when I think back to that time. Despite the fact that Ryan wasn't full of conversation during our first dinner date, (I think he was really nervous!) later on that evening we talked and talked and talked. Even though we were just getting to know each other, there was a familiarity between us and chemistry that words cannot describe. Hands down I knew he was the one for me by the end of our first date. Nine years later he still gives me butterflies and makes my heart go pitter-pat.

We took a day trip to Ball State's campus on our wedding anniversary this past June. Here are a couple pics:
