Happy 7th Anniversary, babe. We’ve definitely had our ups and downs and we may be total opposites, but I would do it all again without question. Don’t know where I would be without you. Not to mention, you’ve given me a couple of pretty fantastic kids so Happy Father’s Day! It’s a two-fer!

*A non-action Bruce Willis film, it is actually quite good and worth the watch. Bring tissues.
