Gearheads of War

For those of you who read my previous diary titled, "the deal"  just ignore it.  First of all, last Tuesday I was allowed to set up my 360 and was told on Wednesday when I get home I could fire up Gears for the night.  Well, after some drama with FedEx and EB Games I cancelled my preorder and picked up a CE at Walmart on the way home.  After we put our son to bed I was left to play for the whole night, she even sat and watched for about 1 hour!
The next day after agreeing to help out more around the house my wife said I could pack up the 360 and take it up north with us for the weekend so I could teach my heterosexual lifemate the inner workings of Gears.  However she was going to make him buy the second controller needed to play.  She also said that once Christmas came and went I would be able to purchase the MS Wireless headset and connect to live.  
Now, for those who have hung in there so far, fast forward to today.  It was agreed that we would go to Best Buy today to pick up a broadband router for our computer to hook to XBL.  After picking up the router we went over to look at the controllers to see which one my HLM could buy.  While over there my wife saw the 50' ethernet cable I needed and grabbed it.  Then she saw the wireless headset and said, "Is that the one you wanted to get?", to which I replied, "Yes.".  She then proceeded to take the last one down off the shelf and put it in the cart!  Then she grabbed a controller we had been looking at and through that in the cart also!  I was totally shocked and asked her 10 times if she was sure!  She said, "as long as I help more and more often around the house, she's fine with it", and she'll even let me hook up to XBL on Sunday when we get home!
I love Gears, but not nearly as much as I love my wonderful, beautiful, amazing wife! By the way, today is my birthday and I'm getting kind of old so she may have felt a little sorry for me and my grey hair!
