Today is Alycia and my fifth wedding anniversary. In some ways it seems like we’ve been married longer and in other ways it seems like we were just walking down the aisle.
This year has been one of exciting new ventures. Alycia has spent this entire year back in school getting her credential to teach high school science. Her classes have eaten into some of our time together, but I’m so proud of her and the path that she’s on. I can’t wait to see her impact the lives of her students in the classroom.
I love my wife and she is truest blessing God has placed in my life.
Growing up I always wondered if I would find a wife who would accept me, nerdy warts and all. Not only does Alycia accept me she’s also embraced a lot of my nerdiness. I actually dedicated a post to Alycia and her own extensive nerdiness. She has been willing, though, to augment her own nerdiness with a lot of my own.
She has watched a lot of Star Trek with me.
She has watched a lot of Star Wars with me.
We watched all of Firefly and then Serenity.
She puts up with my over-excitement for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
She’ll stop playing Mass Effect 3 so I can continue playing Mass Effect 2.
She’s way better at Yahtzee with Buddies than I am, but she still gives me advice on how to get higher scores.
I know that I am blessed to have married not just an incredibly godly woman but a nerdy one as well. For male nerds looking for a nerdy wife can be like Ahab’s search for his white whale. Thankfully God knew the desires of my heart and graciously fulfilled them in Alycia.
She’s the Leia to my Han.
She’s the Hermione to my Ron.
She’s the Jean Grey to my Cyclops…hopefully without all the deaths and resurrections.
What do you hope to find in your nerdy spouse? Or, what have you found in your nerdy spouse?
