I can’t help but share Mr. Wonderful with you today. Isn’t he simply beautiful? On Tuesday, at the fire department badge pinning ceremony, I stepped forward to place the gold Battalion Chief badge on his jacket to represent his recent promotion in the Petaluma Fire Department.
To say I am proud would be an incredible understatement. Congratulations, Jeff, I love you so.

You should be proud of his promotion and also proud of his chosen career. He puts himself at risk to help others when the need arises, it is a noble profession. I am proud of and highly respect anyone that wears a uniform and who puts themselves in dangerous positions to save others. I bet your smile was just as big as his, when you snapped the photo, and rightly so.
Congrats!!
This is so sweet! And SO awesome! Congratulations to Mr. "Blindingly Beautiful".

My stars…. is he handsome. And having that extra bit of bling from his new badge is only the icing on the cake. Congratulations to both of you.
A very proud achievement. Congratulations to your entire family. What an honor. Thank you so much for keeping those in Petaluma safe. Happy memories…

What a wonderful smile he has. Do you call him "Sir" now that he's been promoted? :O) Congratulations. SueXX
What a handsome man! My husband comes from "Fireman Stock" too! My father-in-law was the state fire marshall and my bro in law is a fire chief! Sooo cool, we are all lucky to have them in our service. Maybe someday you and I can trade state fireman pins!
Congratulation to your sweetie, so proud he represents our community, and so proud to know YOU !
You give that man a huge hug and kiss from me, sugar. I looooove a man in uniform but especially one who works hard to save people and defend us! Good job!
