Home and Dry.

Hi people, so it’s very early on a chill holiday and I’m just taking time off to rest and recoup my energy in preparation for the work week ahead. As usual, the minions are doing overtime in my head and I’m here with tons of thoughts running helter-skelter and cartwheeling through my mind.

However, one very clear overpowering theme that threads through is being grateful for my wife Chioma.

See, ehn. There are good women, good people, some great women who are also good people, and then there is my wife, who naturally combines all three.

I’ve been an unfortunate witness to some really unhappy marriages where the trend is to just try and stick it out with your partner for however long it can go on. Things change and you don’t even recognize the person you married anymore. Other factors come into play and you have two individuals who are just cohabiting for the sake of it. Very sad.

My case is different though. I say it again and again that when I count my blessings, my wife is counted thrice. Chioma is such a good person that makes it really easy to be with. I was just thinking about it and I’m like, na wa o, is this the same married life that people complain all the time about?

I’m looking at our nice apartment and her touch is everywhere. She’s successfully turned this place into a home and wallahi, it’s something I’m very grateful for.

The way she combines and coordinates most aspects of our life together leaves me in awe. She’s very good at her job, takes time to make sure our house matters are coordinated, is the default recipient of all her family calls and issues, still goes out of her way to include my side of the family in plans, has been a steady contributing partner to our financial plans and still loves my big head despite my own weyrey.

Even as I have to give myself props too for contributing my bit to making this a happy marriage, (as a spec that I am nah) God was really in his bag that day when Chioma was made and I’m so happy and proud to be with her in this life.

Of course, it hasn’t been all roses and sunshine. Madam has her own skoi skoi too and there are things we’re still struggling with, and still learning about each other all the time, however they’re very minor and it’s just one more piece to the whole picture of what makes her an amazing woman. Make no mistake about it, there are lots of things we still hope to achieve as a family and regular prayer points but with her by my side and God with us, I’m very hopeful and confident for our future.

Guys, forget everything out there, your life can change with the right person in it. I’m living proof of it. My Chinky Chinks is that special kind of woman and I’m absolutely crazy in love with her.

Be safe out in those wild streets, folks.. Me? I’m home and dry!
