What an adventure we’ve already had. I told you how you made me want to slow down, enjoy the nights where we cook and wash dishes with our dancing playlist going, that I wanted to go explore and learn with you. That’s all I ever want for the rest of my days, as long as you don’t get sick of my shenanigans.

We were blessed to get to spend this special time in Florida with your family, and being able to surprise them in person. As awful as airports are, I’d follow you around the world.

The year of 2025 had plenty of hardships, but countless blessings. Finally moving in with my love of 5 years this January, also my best friend, growing closer with family, gaining some new animals along the way. I’m forever grateful for those who have stood beside me and brightened this year, and created a safe environment together. All of the effort made this year has been worth it, though I hope I don’t have to drive a moving van again for a long time. I’m hoping for an even brighter 2026, and I’m bringing all of my friends and family with me.
Also not pictured but an honorable mention to @grace.cupolo ❤️

Woops I almost forgot to post (a week later), happy late birthday and late anniversary to my girlfriend, 4 years of being together has never felt so short yet coincidentally long at the same time. Here’s another one for the fanpage of Makayla as my sister calls it lol. Had to add some photos from recent, as we were snowed in on her actual birthday, but don’t worry we played many hours of Stardew Valley. @kaylaisdoingsfx happy anniversary-birthday ❤️

Happy National Girlfriends Day to my beautiful girlfriend of 3 1/2 years. She has been my rock through the toughest of times and my best friend in the best of times. You could fall in love with anyone, but choosing the person you want to be the witness to your life, to walk that road by your side is another thing entirely. I’d choose you a hundred times over. I promise to take photos of every pretty flower you gawk at, I could make a photo album of them all, but I thought I’d add a few of your favorites here. I’ve never stared at flowers the way I do now that you’re in my life, thank you for bringing such vibrancy and brightness to my eyes, it’s hard to not romanticize my life with you in it. ❤️ @kaylaisdoingsfx #nationalgirlfriendsday

Date night with the gorgeous @kaylaisdoingsfx had to keep her busy, singing the H2O theme song while looking at fish and creeping her out with the animal animatronics.

I can’t even begin to describe how incredibly lucky I am for this girl. I know all of my posts seem to be about her these days, but words won’t do any justice to how amazing she is. The past year has been very difficult for family, for me and even for us as a couple. Whether it was her balancing working in the ER as a nurse technician, an ankle injury that I refuse to stop complaining about, or the house fire from last June that still brings havoc to our daily lives, she was always by my side. They say trauma like the latter makes or breaks a relationship, but never for a split second did she think about taking the easier road. She put her life on hold to try to pick up the pieces of mine, helping every step of the way. I’ll forever be grateful to this wonderful soul. I won’t ever be able to repay you for the unconditional care and support you provide to me and my family, but I’m sure we can come up with some agreement (even if I’m your new designated driver). This post is a few days late, but when have I ever been on time lol. Happy late 3 year anniversary, I know there are many to come. Oh and by the way, you’re pretty.

Happy 21st to my love @kaylaisdoingsfx I had such an amazing time with you last night despite being your designated driver lol. It’s been the most amazing 3 years with you and I can’t wait to experience all of the memories to come. Thank you to @grace.cupolo and @sofimarsie for making it extra special and spending the day with us. Too bad we suck at pool.

Congratulations to my brother, @chef_binotto the legend on getting hitched on Saturday. It was the most beautiful ceremony, wild reception and the sweetest trip up in northern Michigan. Seeing the amazing people that we grew up with that shaped us into the people we are today was a blessing and there was endless love from everyone around. I’m so proud of you, bro. I know you and Veny will have the greatest life together and there will never be a dull moment. I love you guys so much, congratulation ❤️❤️❤️ also enjoy how gorgeous my family was on this fine day, it was one for the books.

This summer has been one of the hardest times of my life. After the house fire in early June, losing four of our pets and just trying to survive, it felt good to step away. We spent a few days up north in Charlevoix and to say it was a breath of fresh air is an understatement. The whole trip was a needed taste of normalcy and was one for the books. Thank you to everyone who has been there for us during these few months. Everyone who kept eyes out for our cats, who has reached out a helping hand or selflessly donating to our go fund me has made a world of a difference and I will always carry you all with me. My gratitude knows no bounds for you.

Happy birthday and early two year anniversary to the girl who has changed my life for the better. The past two years with you has been life altering and I don’t regret a moment of it. I’m so proud of how far you’ve come and the huge steps you’ve been making towards your future and I want to be there every step of the way. I love you, darlin’. Happy birthday ❤️

I’ve been incredibly lucky this past month, two completely moving concerts, time with family, friends and loved ones, and memories I’ll never let go of. It’s been freeing to say the least, thank you to everyone who was apart of it. ❤️
