While I go to school and finally get my degree, my wife continues to push me and call me on my bullshit excuses for not doing my homework. She also sits down right next to me and helps keep me focused while doing homework. Most of the time she is more determined and focused for me to keep me going.
Even though she has told me not to work so I can concentrate on school, I still do. She also doesn't like me working because of my odd hours that keep me away from her. Even though I miss her whenever I am away for a second, I need to feel like I am doing something. She understands this and lets me work. Getting to work at my dream job at Gamestop is nice and for those who don't know I was promoted last September or October to Senior Game Advisor/3rd key Manager. Well... today I was told that I have the opportunity to be promoted again if I am willing to take the position as Assistant Manager at another Gamestop. This would give me more hours, or as Shauna would say, takes me away from her more. After a long walk and very good conversation with her today, we have decided that I will take this promotion for the sake of my resume for when I am done with school. She is the best because she knows what this means to me and is willing to deal with the time lost for a couple years. There are several more reasons why she doesn't like this job but we don't need to go there.
So with the couple reasons above, stacked with many more, the thing that amazes me about this woman is: aside from working 8 - 9 hours, she still does the laundry, dishes (when I don't get them done fast enough for her), cleans house, takes care of Charley when I'm working, is pregnant with our second child, and continues to love me endlessly. Now I'm not saying I don't do anything, so don't yell at me, but she goes above and beyond anything I could ever ask for in a wife, companion, and best friend. She still makes baby food people!!! If Charley comes down with something, she will hop straight onto the internet and research the hell out of it and relay everything she can into my head. She cares (or should I say stresses) about everyone and everything. She is near perfection for me or anyone as far as I'm concerned... she would have gotten the perfection title if only she played video games. lol.
I could really go on and on about why she is so incredible, but I will spare everyone all the mushy gooshy stuff, and the private reasons.
I love my wife more than anything in this world and hope to be with her forever. She is my soulmate no doubt about it. She is my everything, even when I am mad at her for the 5 minutes that it may last. I seriously can't imagine life without her and whenever I do I cry. Life without her simply wouldn't make sense.
To Shauna... you are my everything. You are my heart and soul. You are what makes me be the better man I am always trying to be. You are my best friend. You are the one and only for me. You are my rock and foundation for life. I seriously could not do all this without you by my side every step of the way.
I am sorry I couldn't give you the one thing I know you wanted more in life than anything... I am working on that and hope that maybe in a few years your dream and mine will come true. Don't ever give up on me and I will give you that dream.
Love Always,
Ryan aka Your BFF
