Hey Yo Boo!
Happy birthday to my best friend. The girl who, walking home from the food festival the other day, saw a punch buggy at the exact second I did and squared up like she was about to throw hands over it. I almost folded in half laughing. That’s you. That’s the energy I get to live with. People talk about marrying their best friend and I don’t think they mean it the way I mean it. I mean the 8 PM bedtime that somehow turns into a midnight conversation because we can’t stop talking to each other. I mean the inside jokes that have no audience but us. I mean every ordinary night that feels like the one I’d pick over anything else on the calendar.
Thank you for being born, boo. Hahahah because you had a choice… But thank you for the life you’ve lived that made you into the woman I love and respect more than words can express. I love you endlessly and Happy Birthday!! 🎊🎂🎁
Oh my, Ride or Die… three years of marriage and nearly ten years together — that’s an accomplishment. These years have been the most transformative for me, more full of excitement and joy, and more fulfilling than I could have ever imagined. When people talk about lifelong friendships with their partner, I could have never imagined this. I couldn’t have imagined a best friend, confidante, or key person in my life who aims to keep me humble 😉.
The whole best friend element has been my favorite. I struggle to want to leave you for work trips or other outings because, when it’s all said and done, sitting with you in our living room with a glass of red wine in my hand and a glass of champagne in yours on a Friday night is something I covet more than words can express. Boo, you’re a peace words struggle to define… and when we’re together, the world be damned.
I love you and everything about you more each day. I am so very proud of the person, partner, and parent that you are. Your love and generosity know no bounds, and I’m endlessly drawn to your compassion for others.
I love this photo of you… it’s the warmth of the sun, the sound of our kids’ laughter (I guess I can’t say little anymore), the rhythm of waves crashing, the occasional swat at an early-morning gnat… but most importantly, it’s a staple memory of simply enjoying one another’s presence.
And if that’s what this next year continues to bring, then I’m all here for it. I love you more than life, my boo. Happy wedding anniversary.
(And I promise not to rewrite this verbatim in the card I’ll have for you later 😘)
11.11.24 - TnT 2nd Wedding Anniversary.
To my best friend and forever partner,
Words can’t fully capture how much I admire the warmth and compassion you bring to our family. You’re always ready to lift others up, even when you could use a break yourself. It’s like you have this superpower for empathy, wrapped up in a heart that always finds room for more love and kindness. I’m in awe of how naturally you make everyone around you feel valued and cared for—especially me.
This year has been one wild adventure: new jobs, our kids evolving into their dramatic preteen forms, and an endless schedule of activities. Somehow, through it all, you kept us—mainly me—laughing and grounded, with just the right mix of hugs, playful eye rolls, and maybe one too many pinches after I won at mini golf. 😉
Thank you for being the light that brightens my days and the steady hand that guides me through life’s twists. I love you endlessly, boo. Here’s to us, to laughter, to love, and to all the wonderful moments waiting for us this next year and beyond!!
I love you and happy anniversary my love! @torilleeman
How in the world does time fly like this? One day you’re a little baby and could be cradled into my arm. You laughed so hard when I would lazily tickle you from the couch. You’d cheers me with your bottle and there was only a handful of nights you’d stay up riding your red tricycle.
Now you’re a rising 7th grader. You have some insane “know it all” preteen attitude, and you still laugh your ass off when I randomly think you’re a little baby and I try to tickle you.
I love you beyond words my son! I hope you have an amazing day. Happy Birthday Noah-Timothy Lawson Rigdon, AKA, NT. 😉🥹😘

Happy First Anniversary, my love! I’ve never made it this far, and there’s something both scary and fun about having explored every day of the past 7 years together. We survived what can only be described as one of the most trying first years of marriage, together. We survived it despite the odds and through some insane events because of having each other. There isn’t another person in life or in this world that I could imagine being my partner.
As we close the chapter on year one, I’m hopeful, excited, and still desperately in love with you. I know year two will bring its challenges, and I know many of them will be new, as is life. But I know I have you, walking hand in hand with me through whatever may come. “Come what may” because the love I have for you, I know, can withstand the winds and storms of life — hopefully more sunny days in year two/eight.
I love you, boo. I love being your friend. I love being your partner. I love being the one who gets to smack your butt, and I love who you are. You’re everything I could have imagined.
In our second year of marriage, I hope we continue exploring our love for one another. I hope that I can assist in not making you feel that the family is riding on your back. I hope that you feel loved, sought after, and desired by me. I hope that you share your corner of the couch with me, occasionally. 😙
I love you endlessly, boo. Happy first anniversary, and cheers to oh, so many more!
There are simply not colorful enough, eloquent, or vivid words that I could begin to form to express my love to you.
It's been one week since I had the privilege of being called your husband. It still seems surreal. Between the fantastic quality time we had with our guests or the highly emotional moments for each of us and coming back home to get back to life… I'm left speechless as I've reflected on this memory for the last 7 days.
People have asked me several times if I feel any different. To be honest, not much has changed between the days leading up to our wedding and since. However, there is one thing that is so much more visible to me after gaining you, my love, as a wife. That one thing is my deep appreciation for our small moments. Your companionship through the mundane of life. Your intentional posture toward balancing my extremes with patience and grace. Your acts of seeking affection from me because you want reciprocated love. These things happen in-between everything. But they're so critical to our happiness.
I love you, wife. I have done nothing extraordinary in my life to deserve the blessing I have when you're by my side. I truly believe in God because I know there is no way I ever deserved this life with you, Piper, and Noah. The four of us were meant to be together. We're better together. My love and admiration for you circles the universe infinitely.
I love you boo. @torilleeman

@torilleeman style plus @swedmonds candle is post worthy. Sitting on the couch, relaxing, and out of the corner of my eye I see this and told Tori it was photo worthy. So, for your viewing pleasure.
