13 Years of
You & Me

A love letter to Emily — the woman who holds everything together.

Emily

The Woman Behind It All

Emily — my rock, my love, my everything.

My Dearest Emily,

Thirteen years ago you said yes, and every single day since then you have made my life immeasurably better. You are the steady, beautiful constant in a life that spins in a hundred directions at once.

I don't say it enough — so I built a website to say it. I love you more than I know how to put into words. And I'm going to keep trying, in code, in action, and in every quiet moment between the chaos.

💛

The Best Mom

Watching you be a mother to Auggie and Charlie is one of the greatest joys of my life. The way you pour yourself into them — patiently, fiercely, lovingly — is something I witness every day with total awe.

You hold down everything at home every time I travel for work. No complaints, no drama — just you, showing up for our son and daughter with grace and love, every single day. Auggie and Charlie are so lucky to have you. I am so lucky.

😄

The Hobby-of-the-Year Tolerance Award

You have patiently watched me pivot from one obsession to the next. Right now it's vibecoding — building AI-powered apps at midnight, talking to chatbots, shipping half-finished projects with great enthusiasm.

You have never once made me feel ridiculous for it. You smile, you ask how it's going, you listen. That kind of unconditional support is rare and I don't take it for granted for a single second.
