Sounds like your wife is well worth having—and must be if you thought her worth the trouble of going through your father-in-law to get her.
They say don’t go . . .on Wolverton Mountain
She can be a handful. The other day she went toe to toe with a guy who was swearing at her in Russian. I assume that the criminal element backs down with her because they sense that it is not a good idea to tangle with a woman who is half their size who is so fierce. I worry that she is going to get herself into trouble one day but she has very good situational awareness. She also acts very quickly and decisively when something needs to be done. Over the years on several occasions when we have stopped at car accidents or other problems on the road she has taken the role of incident commander while I have done the work. She starts assigning everyone else who stops a task. She is a natural born leader and does this when by herself also. She is a retired nurse. Often when the authorities begin to show up they have asked her to keep it up until they have enough people on scene to take over.
