Our First pt 2. "In Sickness and In Health"

Brian and I had our first....

Real sickness.

We said the traditional wedding vows at our wedding. You know the ones that say "In sickness and in health" I can't remember what comes before that. I just remember saying that part.

I take back what I said.

Not because I don't intend to love Brian through those times, but because I believe those words don't even begin to cover what I really intend to do. Our vows should be changed to, I promise to hold your hair when you have your face stuck in a toilet, or wash your clothes after your fever has broken. I promise to get you a glass of water to rinse out your mouth, and to not get grossed out when I hear awful sounds coming from the bath room. Or to put up with your moody self because you're not feeling well. THAT'S what the vows should read. Just because I think a lot of NEW couples don't really know what they are getting into when they say " in sickness or in health"

In the course of our two week Christmas vacation, Brian and I both got a sinus infection and a nasty flu bug. So we spent the end of last week on the couch looking pitiful. I thought I was on top of my game because he got sick first and I was waiting on him getting him anything I could. By that night, I had it too. I was laying in bed when it hit and as I'm running to the bathroom I hear him say "I'll hold your hair!!". So sweet. He didn't tho, I have a "Don't touch me when I'm throwing up" policy. But I fully believe he would have.

So that was my wife life last weekend, pitifully lying in my In-laws house with the flu, with my husband on the couch next to me. Such an interesting life I hold. This Christmas will forever be remember.

"Hey Hunny remember our first Christmas when we thought we were going to die?"

Thats all for now

Oh and P.s. The part about being moody, I was the moody one, just wanted to clarify.
