This past Saturday it was such a privilege for Kassidy and I to be at my eldest daughter Haley’s wedding to her long-time beau Alex Utter.

It was perfect in every way.

So grateful and thankful that she’s been blessed to have a man in her life like Alex.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t say how grateful I am to his parents for raising him to be the man he is today.

And also how incredibly proud I am of both Haley and Alex for the life they’re living, and the life they’re building.

Cheers to the happy couple. ❤️🥂

We so appreciate each and everyone of you.🙏🏼

I’m so incredibly grateful to be able to share the stage with such talented, dedicated, honest, committed musicians.

Thank you, Luke, Noah, Jared for bringing it like you do every single night.

You are masterful at what each and every one of you do.

To my partner in crime, our Musical Director. Our point guard. The guy that makes it all happen for each and every one of us.

So excited for what we already have booked and planned for this year, and now in the 2027 on and off the ship.

Thank you, my brother.

Lastly, to my wife, Kassidy. I have missed you terribly. Thank you so much for your support and love. I’m so grateful I get to see your face every day due to technology. Man, what did they do just 20 years ago.

I can’t wait to see you. ❤️

To My Forever Valentine, Kass

My love, my beautiful Kass,

There are so many words in this world, yet somehow none of them feel big enough to hold what I feel for you.

You are not just my wife.
You are my answered prayer.
My safe place.
My calm in chaos.
My laughter on hard days.
My home.

Loving you has been the greatest honor of my life. Every day with you feels like a gift I never want to take for granted. The way you care, the way you love, the way you give your whole heart so freely — it humbles me. It inspires me. It makes me want to be better, stronger, kinder… just so I can deserve the love you give so naturally.

And even though this Valentine’s Day finds us apart — our only one spent in different places — my heart has never felt closer to you. If anything, this distance has only reminded me how deeply woven into my soul you are. I miss you more than I can properly put into words. I miss your touch. I miss your voice. I miss your presence beside me.

But no amount of miles could ever change what you are to me.

You are my best friend. The one I want to tell everything to. The one I want beside me in every room, every trip, every season of life. When I think about forever, I don’t think about time — I think about you.

Thank you for choosing me.
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for standing beside me.
Thank you for loving me the way you do.

I cherish you more deeply than I could ever fully explain. I am grateful for your heart, your strength, your softness, your smile, and even the quiet moments we share that no one else sees. Those are treasures to me.

You are my forever Valentine — not just today, not just this year, not just when we’re together — but for every heartbeat I’m given.

I love you endlessly.
I love you faithfully.
I love you completely.

And I cannot wait to hold you again.

Always yours. ❤️
