"Your wife must be awesome."
Like I said, I've been privy to this knowledge for a while -- like, nearly 19 years (or 16 if you count the "wife" part) -- but it's always nice to get external validation.
To wit:
- Daniel is 19 weeks old today. Nineteen weeks, and she has him trained: Sleeping through the night on a mostly regular basis, smiling all the time, totally chilled unless he's hungry. As Than pointed out: "When ours was 18 weeks, there was no way I was leaving the house."
- Yesterday was Valentine's Day. With upcoming travel and a full week off the bike, just ahead of some serious Horribleness, Kim knew I'd be jittery for a ride. Not only did she give her blessing for me to visit my mistress, Pisgah, instead of spending a quiet night at home with her, she was also understanding and forgiving when my "might be 90 minutes" ride turned into nearly 3 hours. This, after she had to spend all day at home with two sick kids!
- And ... and ... AND! She did my laundry while I was out playing in the woods with my friends.
How awesome is that?
In all seriousness, I really appreciate the love and support that Kim gives me. I couldn't have achieved my dreams without her. Someday -- someday! -- we will "settle down" and things will get quiet, and we'll spend a bit more time together. For now, though, I don't think I'm going to see her for the next 2 weeks or so, and when I called to tell her that in a panic she just said, "well, we'll be OK. Just take it one day at a time."
How did I get so lucky?
Thank you sweetheart! Love you and see you soon!
