We finished our race! Now on to the next one….
this is what Caleb put in my Easter basket, which can only mean one thing...
another triathlon soon-to-come!
Since February, we have been working, had guests here to visit, visited Austin, gone to the Houston Rodeo, livestock show, and carnival, trained a lot, eaten a lot, completed our Half Ironman (!!), visited Knoxville for 24 hours to see our little niece, Marion, and planned our summer vacation...and honeymoon!!
I am still working at the eye center, and my hours are finally becoming a little more consistent throughout the weeks. It is the perfect place to work for now!
Caleb still loves his job. He usually travels most weeks, but last week he was in town! It was wonderful!
Here are some pictures to help summarize the past 2 months in Texas:

More Fun in the Life of the Ryans:
- Caleb just ordered a new cross bike for next fall!
- I am having some really fun pillows made right now, we are working on restaining our kitchen table, and our apartment is becoming more like home every day! Hope to have some pictures to share soon.
- We finally got two trips planned for 2011! We are going backpacking around the Southwest in July - Vegas to Havasupai Indian Reservation, Grand Canyon, and Zion. Then, we are taking our Honeymoon/One Year Anniversary Trip in October - San Francisco, Yosemite, and Wine Country. I am really excited!!
my sister, Casey, and I took the same trip backpacking about 6 years ago - look at how beautiful!
- I have only taken one ballet class since living in Houston, but I am taking class this coming Saturday!
- My parents will be out to visit in a week and a half!
- Now we just need to get that triathlon on the calendar....
- Oh, and I just got 200 bags of different kinds of tea in the mail. Come visit, and we will drink tea!
