In sickness and in heath...

Literally the day we got back from our trip, I began to feel the awful beginnings of feeling sick. I was feeling a little chilly, the back of my throat tickled and it started to hurt when I swallowed. I knew it was inevitable; it was only a matter of time before I was sick. Since I had just taken off a week for vacation I couldn't get myself to justify calling in a sick day, so trying to be brave, I suffered through. Sure enough, the next morning my nose was plugged, my throat was raw. G showed his true colors and was the best husband/nurse any gal could ask for. I would miserably come home from work to his loving arms. He made me soup and took over most of the household chores. I'm sure I was a quite the sight, but G continued to call me beautiful even though my nose got red and there was a mountain of tissues piling up beside our bed. He even let me snuggle up next to him while he read Harry Potter out loud every night (in preparation for the last movie coming out this summer!!) until I would fall asleep. In short he was my personal knight in shining armour! Although, I'm sure this isn't the most glamorous part of marriage it sure was nice to know that I have someone to take care of me. Sure enough, last night G's voice dropped about an octave (something I found quite attractive!) and his throat started to hurt when he swallowed. I hope I can be as good to him as he was to me! As our home continues to fill with coughs and sniffles rest assured, we do so happily because we have each other to serve one another!
