Proud.

I can’t help but share Mr. Wonderful with you today. Isn’t he simply beautiful? On Tuesday, at the fire department badge pinning ceremony, I stepped forward to place the gold Battalion Chief badge on his jacket to represent his recent promotion in the Petaluma Fire Department. To say I am proud would be an incredible understatement. Congratulations, Jeff, I love you so.

Great photos by Nina Zhito.
