Life can be funny and full of surprises sometimes. When I met Angela, we hit it off right away. It was very easy for me to talk to her, which does not come natural for me. Looking back, it is very obvious I needed someone like that in my life. She is very kind and loving, which has rubbed off on me in many ways. I admire the fire in her soul that she approaches every day with. I adore her passion and willingness to do what ever needs to be done. For someone so small, she is one of the toughest people I know. In my 10 years of knowing her, we have seen the highest of highs, but also the lowest of lows. I met her during a really tough phase of my life. To be honest, I am not sure where I would be today if I had not met her. She may say I helped save her, but in reality I think we saved each other in many different ways. I think back to all the great memories we have had so far and I can honestly say they were some of the best moments of my life. Driving out to the middle of nowhere to look at an apartment for her. Taking a vacation in some small ass town, whose name I can't remember. What I do remember though, walking on the lake and admiring the view with her. Not realizing how far our life could possibly go. The big moments in life matter, but what always sticks out to me is the small moments with her. I have never met someone like her and I know I never will again. She is the love of my life. The person I can turn to when I need support. I found the strength to become the person I am today when I finally understood the connection between us. I love you Angela and I am excited to start the next chapter of our not for Hollywood story.

I met Dustin 10 years ago this past April, and my life was irrevocably, unequivocally changed forever. I know, I know, you’re probably thinking wow, is she freaking dramatic or what, and while you would normally be right, in this case, just this once, it just so happens to be true. In a tale as old as time (couldn’t resist), we started as friends, then became best friends, and then became something that to this day, I will never be able to put into words, but my god, will I spend the rest of my life trying. He is the ice to my fire, the calm to my storm, the peanut to my butter…great, now I’m hungry. Ahem, anyways, where was I? Oh yes! I hope everyone will experience even once the happiness and joy this wonderful human being gives me all day, every day. I have never been so seen, so protected, so nurtured, so…accepted. He has seen me at my very best, but he has also seen me at my very worst. When I was broken, instead of running away, or judging me, or like others, giving up on me, he very gently gathered all the broken parts of me and helped make me whole again. For that alone, he will always have my heart, my faith, my everything. Then add in the fact that he’s hilarious, smart, drop dead sexy, and yikes, you wonder why I never stood a chance?! Okay, sorry, I’ll wrap this up, I promise. All this to say, I have found my soulmate. I have found the only one I want to walk hand in hand through life with, through the good and the bad, the ups and the downs. Besides what he means to me; he is hands down the best dad I know. Everything he does for our daughter, Alora, is just mind blowing to me sometimes. Especially how after working 11-hour days, he still comes home and takes over from me and finds the energy to play and interact with her. It just takes my breath away. I love you, Sherlock. I am so incredibly proud and grateful that I get to call you mine, and I cannot wait to marry you. You are my light, you are my heart, not EVEN Death can tear our love apart
