Today is Jake’s birthday.

10 years ago, we celebrated by going out for pie after I returned from a trip to Arkansas to visit grandparents.  That pie date was the start of our now decade-long relationship.  I think we both can agree that it’s been quite a ride – full of all kinds of ups and downs, but we’ve faced them together.  There’s no one I’d rather navigate through life with than him.  He is my best friend, my constant support, and the love of my life.
