The Better Half of Me

I can truly say I married the best girl in the world.  Ever since meeting in late 2007 Shelby has always supported me in every decision I've ever made.   Throughout my undergrad studies she motivated me to succeed, exhibited superb patience, and taught me more things about me than even I knew.   Every time I've ever asked her a favor, I never have to think twice that she'll do it because she's so responsible and tedious with the task at hand.  I love how she teaches me about construction and how she's so passionate for what she loves.  She always has my needs above her's and tries to do everything possible to make my life easier.

Since becoming pregnant, she's puked, had headaches, colds, tummy aches, and just about every other ailment possible.  She might not show her excitement "all" the time about becoming a mother but I just look at all the things she has done single-handily in preparation for the baby.   She's made doctor appointments, found new physicians, transferred all the paperwork, dealt with the insurance company countless times, handmade decorations, found pictures, started collecting memories, bought clothes, diapers, wipes, and other 'womanly' things I choose not to discuss.  I know she'll be the best mother for our baby boy, and I don't doubt it any bit.


She's been so flexible with me also since starting school, and for that I love her.  The clothes are always washed and put away.   The dishes are always clean.  The house is always picked up and the bed always made.  She's even made a extra effort in cooking more, and it doesn't go unnoticed.   She also loves our dogs more than anybody else could in the world.

And every morning I love to kiss her goodbye as I leave to school.  

Thank you Shelby, I love you to the moon and back.
