having him measured, he's only three feet tall when he's laying down
0:13
We met in first grade. We had the same frame group growing up and we kind of like orbited
around each other but we really didn't start hanging out with each other until we were older
0:26
You know what's funny is that how many people
would look at us and go, why didn't you two
0:30

were like, I don't know what you're all talking about
0:36
Like, what? And they're like, I think you two are made for each other.
And I'm like, yeah, no, I mean, we hang out once in a while, but it's not
0:42
I got one friend. I think you guys
things. Yeah. Yeah, no, they were right
0:47
We were meant for each other. Yeah. She's the
first person. I could actually be me around
0:53
You know, sometimes, like, some people put a point of
a boss beside and, you know, pretend to be someone else
1:00
But her, I was me all natural.
Like, she laughed at my stupid jokes
1:06
She was so stupid. But she enjoyed them. And everything
that she talked about, I was just like, oh, God

like, I'm gonna marry Jessica, and I'm like, yeah

1:46
that I had a record and I read it and I was like, wait a second, like
my wife is definitely taller in her and I'm definitely shorter than him
1:56
So like we got this. Yeah, that was our thought.
I was like, we got this record. This should be us
2:02
When I have my arms around her, she feels like home.
And it's just the world, like all those personal
2:09
that's going on in the world, like it goes away. And it's
just me and her, this is the most peaceful thing about her

where I could not literally get up off the floor
2:39

she has her downs, I'm there to help her up
2:44

overwhelmed, she's like, no, no, no, it's okay
2:49
Come out of the dark and we'll get this together.
