Returned from Afghanistan to a DREAM office. Thank you SO much to my amazing wife for making my jaw drop when I opened the door to our new home ♡ #cloud9

I'd have never expected to be in Afghanistan on 9/11, but here I am. I still vividly remember the sights and horror that veiled my family that day. The sight of the towers falling, of people jumping out of windows...it was too much for me to comprehend back then. But now I'm here, making sure that our future generations never have to deal with that again. #neverforget

Radiohead's newest album blows me away every time I listen to it. I've waited so long for a studio version of True Love Waits and it's everything I wanted. #radiohead

Just a few more days til I'm out of the comfortable, safe world of the US to go make a difference in the world. What a change my life has taken since last year. (at Fort Drum Military Base)

My mom is the best. Nuff said. ♡

A couple years ago I would have never thought of being married for a long time. But here I am, crazy stupid in love with the woman who is finally my wife. ♡♡♡

It finally happened :) I'm so happy to be surrounded by my family, new and old. Thank you to everyone who came to support us, whether in person or in spirit.
