23 Years — A Lifetime in the Making ❤️💍We met when I was a Marine, counting the days until my 21st birthday and the moment I could get home to her. I didn’t know then that I’d found the one who would stand beside me through every chapter of my life — and that together, we’d write a story that would span decades, states, deployments, laughter, loss, and love that only gets stronger with time.
We’ve come so far — from young adults trying to figure it all out, to almost grandparents still figuring it out together. There’s no low too deep for us to overcome and no high too far to reach.
Through combat deployments, countless miles apart, and four states that became snapshots of our journey — we’ve raised three amazing young adults finding their way in the world. We’ve built businesses, faced heartbreak, welcomed new family, and kept faith in each other when life tested us most.
She is my greatest blessing — strong, kind, patient, talented even when she doesn’t see it, and the most loving mother and partner I could ever ask for.
Twenty-three years later, I see more than just the woman I fell in love with — I see the heart that carried us through it all. There’s no one else I’d rather walk this road with. No one else I’d want to share every sunrise, milestone, and memory beside.
Here’s to 23 years of love, resilience, and forever finding new reasons to fall in love again. ❤️
