Our. First. Selfie. 'Nuff said. At the VB Town Center Fountain just before a comedy show at the Funny Bone.

Our first ACU2 Holiday Party, getting in the Sith-mas spirit. These aren't ugly sweaters, these are BADASS sweaters!

Taking command of ACU2 with my greatest loves. They are so good-looking, I'm just bringing them down, even with the choker whites making me more awesome than I really am.

After Kristin's first Navy Ball, she got to see my party sleeves hidden beneath my uniform tux jacket. Yes, it's little rocket ships. Look how elegant my lady is, though....

At one of our many beach concerts, joined by my Mom and Dad before he got sick. I so appreciate that he and Mom got to meet Kristin and see how good we were together. I know I have his blessing.

Kristin, the kiddos, and I at Geico's Family Day at the waterpark. She used to hang out sans family, but now she CAN'T get rid of us. My cunning plan reaches its culmination! Waterparks forever!

Getting our joust on at the North Carolina Rennaisance Festival. She came for the Tortuga Twins. I came for the turkey legs (and the Washer Women).

Our love for Leia and Han may make a re-appearance at some point. Just sayin'.....

Us on Pacific Beach in San Diego, CA, my second favorite place to live . . . Kristin would absolutely live in Old Town - even if she is a taco-virgin!

Mermaid Christmas Lights at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. Love this each year. My kids always want to DRIVE through. Silly brats. Tim & Bonnie know it's ALWAYS better to walk shivering through the whole garden.

"Why is the carpet all wet, Todd?" "I don't know, Margo!!!" Ugly Christmas Vacation sweaters at the ACU2 Holiday Party! I was such a SERIOUS CO.

We ALMOST had this wedding at Busch Gardens, the kids, Kristin, and I were there so often! We always have such a great time there!

Valentine's Day surprise for my . . . ummmm . . . cooking-challenged sweetie. Romantic dinner for two culinary classes at CIV! It's pronounced kyoooooolinarry, kids . . . .

Yes, the dressing up for shows didn't start with this wedding. My Slytherin beauty and her Ravenclaw suitor at the Music of Harry Potter!

Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens with Tim and Booooooooonnie! They are our go-to partners-in-crime for many a haunted house walk.

Bonnie and Tim and us at the BEST haunted house every year -- THEY GRABBED ME!

Till Death Do Us Part is for AMATEURS. Getting our zombie boogie on at the Dancesport Ballroom Halloween Dance with Bonnie and Tim.

I have no idea who these silly people are. I for one refuse to be associated with such frivolity!

Isabel's and Kristin's combined birthday bash, a weekend in New York seeing Hamilton and all the sights. Ask Kristin how much she loved MOMA!

'Merica! My love and I saying goodbye to ACU2 and my command tour, right before my Bahrain departure.

In New Orleans, on the mighty Mississippi, on a paddleboat steamer after a great Creole dinner and drinks. She much preferred this to Bourbon Street.

We had the run of this place immediately after Halloween during our GREAT New Orleans trip!

Kristin made the quarter-of-the-way-around-the-world trek to Bahrain, where I surprise-popped the Question and presented her with a ring. Spoiler: SHE SAID YES!

The Mays clan at Xmas. My Pop passed away only a couple months later, but I know he loved Kristin and looked forward to our union.

Kristin's extended clan allowed me to share Thanksgiving with them. And even after that, they're allowing this wedding to proceed. I fooled em good!
