The old ball and chain...

I know several people have asked questions about me and my family and I figured this was a good time to set the record straight and to talk about something that I don't say nearly enough. I love my wife. I have loved her for 17 years with all my heart and will continue to do so for the rest of my life and then some. She is and was the best thing that ever happened to me. We have been married for nearly 16 years and in today's society that is a rare and precious thing. I will freely admit that there have been a couple of bumps along the road (I can be a hard person to live with as I tend to be a little antisocial and I have a large warped family), but Teri and I have weathered the storms and I don't know what I would ever do without her as she is my confidant and friend. She is my favorite person in all the world to talk to, which we do a lot, as I feel that communication is the key to any successful marriage, but furthermore I just enjoy rambling to her and listening to her. We can discuss philosophy or hare brained theories or just plain gossip for hours at end and talking with her is probably my second favorite thing that she and I do. She puts up with my idiosynchracies and is genuinely interested in what I do, both rare traits in any individual, but doubly so in a spouse. She doesn't care that I am getting old, that I have gained weight since we got married, or that I snore when I sleep. Anyways, enough of my heartfelt rambling and I will just say, I love my wife and soulmate.
