To My Amazing Wife Julia

I cannot believe it has been a year since we became husband and wife. I am so incredibly blessed to be on this journey called life with you. I am eternally grateful I get to wake up next to you every morning. This year went so fast because it has been so crazy. We've done so many huge life events over the past 365 days.

Our honeymoon was the postgame to our perfect wedding. I think about how much fun we had all the time. I love that we can entertain ourselves just doing something random no matter where we are in the world, like throwing a little tile in a pool as a new game we just made. I would do anything to go back.

Next stop: The birth of our (dog) child. October 5th, 2025 we brought our baby girl Ruby home. We counted down everyday for 2 weeks until Ruby day. We have watched her go from the terrified, hiding little baby to watching her conquer her fears in real time. This is a testament to how good of a mommy you are to her. Your patience, caring and unconditional love is why she has come such a long way.

Another huge milestone all within a 6 month span. We became homeowners in a crazy time. It feels like fate because how did we get so lucky? Learning new skills with you has been so much fun. Sitting on the porch admiring our accomplishments has become one of my favorite pastimes.

I just want to thank you for being the best person in the whole world. You motivate me to be the best version of myself every single day. Your unconditional love for me inspires me to be a better person. My goal in life is to make sure you are happy, healthy and taken care of. I hope I make you proud to be my wife.

I really appreciate everything you do for me and Ruby. Happy 1 year anniversary. I love you so much!

Forever,
Francis
