Happy Birthday to my favorite person! The man who makes me laugh, stands beside me through every season, and makes life a little sweeter just by being in it. I love you so much! ❤️ cheers to 42! @joeortega

Three years married to my favorite person. 🤍
This isn’t a “look at our perfect marriage” post, because ours isn’t perfect. This year has been insane. We’ve experienced some incredibly high highs and some really low lows. We’ve had hard conversations, uncomfortable moments, and seasons that required honesty, vulnerability, forgiveness, and growth.
Being able to truly open yourself up to your person, face the trauma that has affected your life and the people around you, and choose to do the work to heal and become better is HARD. I’ve watched Joe do that this year, and I couldn’t be more proud of the man he continues to become.
And in the middle of all of it, we got baptized together. 🤍 Standing beside my husband and choosing to put our faith in God together is something I will always treasure. God has carried us through some hard seasons, and I’m so grateful He is at the center of the life we’re building.
We don’t always see eye to eye, but he is my favorite person to work through hard things with. He’s my best friend, my biggest supporter, the person who gets my Alani for me 😂, and the person who somehow entertains my 47 ideas a day.
I also can’t put into words how much it means to me to watch him love my son. The family we’ve built together is one of my greatest blessings.
Life isn’t always easy, but somehow, together and with God, we always find a way.
Happy 3rd anniversary, Papa Joe. 🤍 I love you tremendously, and I’d choose you again. Every time.

Happy Father’s Day to the best dad and bonus dad there ever was. You work tirelessly, often juggling more than most people realize, mentally and physically, and through it all you continue to show up for the kids. Thank you for always supporting our kids, the laughs, the lessons, and for always being there when it matters most.
Being a dad isn’t just about providing, it’s about loving, guiding, encouraging, and making your children feel safe and supported. You do that every day.
Our family is lucky to have you, and the kids are lucky to call you Dad and Papa Joe. We love you and appreciate everything you do, even when it doesn’t always get said enough! I’m proud of the man you’ve become and the dad you continue to be! We love you.

Today, May 19th, is my favorite day in the whole wide world! It’s the day I brought you into this world Cayden Daniel. I cannot believe you’re 7 years old! You are resilient, sensitive, athletic, a fantastic friend, smart, a big ball of energy and a mamas boy through and through! Celebrating you is easy and you’re loved by so many people! Happy birthday baby boy! I love you so so much! 🥹❤️

I asked Cayden what he wanted to do for his birthday party and he said a baseball game with his buddies! Celebrating you is easy baby boy! I can’t believe you’ll be 7 on Tuesday 🥹. Needless to say everyone had a pretty good time. Thank you to our tribe of parents who helped manage the kids all night, literally couldn’t have done it without you! ⚾️ 🎉

This weekend was something I’ll never forget 🤍Getting baptized alongside my husband and my best friend, surrounded by so many people we love, was such a powerful and meaningful moment.

There’s something so special about stepping into a new chapter of faith together — not alone, but side by side with the people who mean the most. We are paving the way and setting an example for our children.

“Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.” — Acts 22:16 ✨

So grateful for every hug, every smile, and every person who showed up to celebrate with us. My heart is so full! I love you @joeortega ❤️✝️ the video is the sweetest! Praise God.

What a privilege it is to have spent the last 15 birthdays celebrating you. We’ve come a long way since I had to have someone ‘of age’ buy you a bottle of SOCO & lime for your 25th. But not like…that far. 😉 Happy 40th G baby / G money / Leeroy / Old Greeeeeg! Love you long time. 😘
