    Oh yeah I forgot, my wife loves Nike shoes. She has about 12-15 pairs and they all look brand new. Goodness.

    My wife is extremely passionate about her teaching.

    She absolutely LOVES it.. and spends a lot of money on her kids.

    It actually used to get me annoyed when we first started dating (the money she spent)... now.. I don't care so much.. its who she is. I just shake my head and laugh at her.

    That.. and shoes. I don't get that one still.

    Mike, my wife did that for many years in the classroom. She is an outstanding teacher. We would be out and she would just start shopping for her students..hahaha.

    A flexible wife, figuratively and literally speaking, IS a most wonderful thing. LONG LIVE LULULEMON.

    Brett begins to purchase some lululemon "workout" clothes for wife.

    My wife is the same way. She used to spend crazy $$$ on classroom stuff. Now she's out of the public school system and in an early intervention agency, so it's not so bad.........but wow.

    She is starting to like fishing more and more though. You should have seen the look on her face and seen her shaking when she pulled a 33" pike through the ice yesterday. :rock:

    Besides busting my chomps and trying to keep me in line... cleaning house ( neatness freak ), cooking ( none better ) and being a great mom for the kids.


    She helps me cut up my deer without me asking. She is very handy with a knife !!! Has come out to help me when I shoot a deer. Spends more time in the archery shop getting things for me then I do. She offered and is paying for the buck I am getting mounted out of her stash. I spent my stash on the bow/accessories that killed him... a camera ( Tyler drowned the old one ). She spoils me rotten !! :busted:

    Aside from sewing, embroidery and spoiling the kid and I... Can't think of much else.

    She's extremely frugal. Almost to the point of being cheap (except said things above). Actually, come to think of it, she's chastised me on some of my "necessary" purchases...

    I guess you could call movies a passion of my wife. The girl can name every actor/actress in every movie, and all the other movies they have been in, even the little obscure movies.

    And she might as well be a SNL historian.

    my wife is passionate about the kids and her reintroduction to photography... long before we started dating she had wanted to become a pro photographer (portrait work and etc)... about a year and a half ago I bought her a pretty darn nice d-slr setup witha few lenses and a backdrop stand and etc... to get her going on it and she dove in with both feet... she's planning on opening her own studio some day soon as she has been doing paid work for people lately... but she still thinks she has a bit to go...

    My wife is obsessively involved in Dog Rescue. She is one of three trustees for a foundation that donates 30-50k a year to underfunded rescues around the country. She is also like a daughter to a couple that run a Dog Rescue in Lake/McHenry Co. Illinois. You all would puke if you knew how much time and money she contributes because senseless idiots can't spay and neuter their pets:(
