Yeah, I’ve held my tongue long enough!! And now I am all, well you know! We do have a great life, and it is largely thanks to you. =) But there is nothing wrong with a goal or two. Don’t look back and wonder ‘what if’ look ahead and wonder what can be from here. Really, it’s all good. <3 Oh, and each Birthday brings a new German Chocolate cake or peacan pie. So what's to dread?

I remember meeting the “interesting and possibly offensive” Ryan when I first moved into the ward. I like that Ryan. Personally, I like knowing where I stand with someone. I like people who are straight forward and to the point. I myself am one who tends to beat around the bush, so I admire people who can simply tell things how they are. That being said, I have to admit that I am somewhat shocked that the “interesting” Ryan that I respect and consider to be a friend would try to censor himself so as not to “cause hurt.” I am a firm believer that one should not have to apologize or hide who they are. If someone chooses not to associate with “interesting” Ryan, it’s their own loss. I have seen glimpses of the “edited, internet personality” come through “interesting” Ryan. That’s great. If your goal is to make changes in your life, good for you. Hopefully though you don’t make changes to please “friends.” Hopefully your changes are brought about because you feel they will make you the person you want to be…not the person that others want you to be. On another note, regarding your successes/failures in life…I think we are all there with you. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t see more for themselves. I think we all want more, at least I know I do!!!! One day I will own the Lakers! Start showing your Laker pride and I may just cut you in on the profits!!!

That sounds and looks so good! I, ahem, need to pick up both a bench knife and potato ricer!

Kudos to you Ry. These posts are always difficult, sobering, yet rewarding to write. I sure think you’re awesome!

It was heavily laced in sarcasm

I read the article but mostly looked at the pictures; I did not even notice the captions until you mentioned it. Of course I am in a hurry and that might have something to do with it. Oh, this was yummy! Of course, you might want to explain why this would be for weight loss, since it includes some hefty ingredients.

Nice photos. Nice recipe. I must try this!!!!

PS I must not be normal. I noticed the captions but only read them after reading the entire blog post. Maybe if the type size was the same as the blog content and the gray border was on the left side I would’ve noticed them more. That’s just my opinion and I’m weird.
