I met my soul mate when I was fifteen years old. We went out for ice cream. After, my dad started teasing me about my first date, the way dads do, and I told him, “Dad, it’s no big deal, I’m gonna be going out with a lot of different girls, on a lot of different dates.” And that is the first time I ever lied to my father.

I met my soul mate when I was fifteen years old and I have loved her every minute, of every day since I first bought her that mint chocolate chip cone. I have loved her through the birth of [our children]…I have loved her even when I hated her. (Married couples will understand that one.) And I don’t know if it’s gonna work out…But I can promise you this, I will never stop trying. Because when you find the one, you never give up.”
