Long time no write

Hello! Long time no write! Sorry about that....
Great news! About a week or two ago a lady offered me a job! She owns her own business selling purses and bags that she's made, and it's really booming. She needs someone to cut out fabric for her, so she offered to hire me to do it! I was way excited. It's the perfect job for me- I've just been working out of the apartment, I can basically choose my own hours, and she's a great boss. I am so grateful for all the ways that the Lord has blessed us. He is truly a Loving, Caring Heavenly Father.
I hope all is going well for everyone.
For anyone who hasn't heard (Celise also posted it on the Ramsay Family Blog), my brother Brady and his wife Patrice had a new baby boy! His name is Toren Ralph Ramsay, and he's adorable! You can check out the pictures on their blog, bradyandpatrice@blogspot.com . How I love all my nieces and nephews!!
I am so glad to hear that Sadie, Dan and Melissa's little girl, is doing so much better.
As for Ryan and I, we'll be sticking around for a few more months here in Idaho (that's our plan), and then making the move to North Carolina. We are again, grateful for the many blessings the Lord has poured out upon us, and so grateful also for all of your love and support. We love you all.

Kayla and Ryan

PS. Harry Potter is going well. Ryan and I are on the second book. :) Wait! He just now finished it. :)

Harry and Hermione Halloween!!













Ryan really wanted to be Harry Potter for Halloween this year, so he dressed up as Harry and I decided to be Hermione Granger. I had a lot of fun getting all dressed up and trying to do my hair and everything like her. What do you think?
I also made stuffed pumpkin and it turned out great (thanks Patrice!), and Ryan and I watched the 4th Harry Potter movie that we'd rented from clean flicks. It was a fun evening! I love it when Ryan comes home from work! It was also fun going to the grocery store in our costumes. ;)

Happy Halloween everyone!

"Expeliarmus!!!.."

Yesterday Ryan and I started Harry Potter. I know!! I'm giving in! Noooooooo!!!!! He's editing the swear words out for me, so we're both kinda excited to be getting started- if fact, he's probably more excited than I am that I'm going to be reading them. (He's read them before). So as much as I've been rebellious in the past.....I'm reading Harry Potter. I'll let you know how it goes. So far, I really like it. Except I feel so sorry for poor Harry having to sleep in a cupboard and be at the mercy of the Dursleys the first 11 years of his life. Can you imagine??? I take comfort in the fact that it is fiction, (though I'm sure there's some awful child abuse really going on in this world). How blessed I am to have been raised in a loving family who cared for me so so so so much, in every aspect of my life. How blessed I am for my wonderful angel family!!! I love you all!!!!!!
How are things going for everyone? Well, I hope. How I love you.
I enjoy checking out other people's blogs- keep up the work, and keep smilin'!!!

Evening at the park

Wow!!! Time flies. I promise I'm still here- even though, well, lets face it, I'm pretty slack already when it comes to this... I keep meaning to do it, but it just seems like the day runs out before I can get to it. I'll try to do better.
Thanks to all of you who wrote comments on my last blog- I'm still learning bout all the cool tricks of blogging, so I just saw them, and wow, I sure do feel loved!!!! Thank you all you wonderful people!
Just a little background about my wonderful husband and I: Ryan Grant Allen and I met in our BYU-Idaho student ward in January of this year. I'd just moved into the ward, and saw this incredibly handsome guy with brown hair and the biggest blue eyes I'd ever seen... and, well, the rest is history. He proposed to me on July 17th (I whole-heartedly said YES!) and we were married in the Monticello Temple on September 5th, 2008. Seems like a fairy tale, doesn't it? However, I will be forever grateful that this one actually did happen to me. Wow. That's all I can say. I'll be forever in debt to my Father in Heaven for this beautiful gift he's given to us.
Ryan and I now live in Rexburg, Idaho (the same place we met). He works at Wells Fargo, and I try my best to not burn down the house while he's gone. :) Right now I'm in the process of finding a job for a couple months.
We enjoy our evenings together, and love to do fun things like watch a movie, or go for a walk, or try making homemade onion rings....(that's what we did last night, and though was was quite a bit of smoke and a bit of eye irritation involved, we enjoyed it). On Saturday we went to the park and had a picnic. (Kisper, we LOVE the blanket!)










We also had fun turning our ninja turtle and power ranger action figures into parachuters and launching them off. :)

I hope y'all enjoy the videos!

Watch out planet earth, here come the Allens!

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
Greetings!!! This is Kayla Rachele Ramsay Allen speaking. check, check, check. Yes, hello. This is Ryan and Kayla's brand new (well, first ever, so bare with me) blog. I wanted to let everyone know that we haven't really fallen off the face of the earth, and I thought it would be a great way for anyone who wants to to see how we're doing. (Thank you to all you family members, relatives, and friends who have done your own blogs- your example made me want to do my own.) I hope I can keep up on it pretty good, and, well, I hope you all enjoy.

Love, Kayla and Ryan
