She is the sunshine of my life.

I love me wife.  To no end.  She's incredible.  And I know she loves me.  But recently, we've been SUPER tired.  We were laying on our bed yesterday morning, fully dressed, shoes on, teeth brushed, all ready to go to school, but refusing to actually grab our keys and go, when Britt said, "This semester sucks."

-"Do you concur?"
-"I concur."

Well, with that said, we've gotten into the habit of staying up far too late working on homework, and then around 12-1 we take a "20 minute nap" and then get up and continue.

Well....this time was a little different.  It was 10:30pm last night (Monday) and I was crashing and needed a nap.  So we told each other, "20 minutes...." and were soon fast asleep.

20.....+340 minutes later..... (yes that would be 6 HOURS) she sits up and says in one word and breath, "ohmygosh!!!"  It was now 4:30 in the morning and neither of us had done our homework.

Oops.

Now, what I failed to mention earlier was how exactly the "nap discussion" played out.

Brian: "Let's take a nap."
Brittney: "I don't know if I'm tired.
Brian: "Just 20 minutes....?"
Brittney: "Fine."  (She then sets an alarm.)  "Set your alarm in case mine doesn't go off."
Brian: "Eh....we'll wake up."
(I don't set my alarm.)

Well, I was right in that we woke up...5 or so hours too late, though.  Yet, we just got up, spent an hour and change finishing up our homework and went back to sleep for an hour.

Now, back to how much I love my wife.  There was a gagillion ways this situation could have played out.  I felt terrible, that much was certain.  But she just smiled, kissed me, and we laughed it off.

She's awesome.  And maybe the best thing about it is that I know it will be one of those things that in 5 years we'll come up and we'll just giggle.

THE END

P.S. I set my alarm the second time to wake up at 6:30.  At 6:30 I turned it off and we got up at 7:15.
Dang.


Thanks for marrying me.  :)
