In sickness and in health

I have had a terrible summer cold plus a fever since Friday....yuck! Well, this isn't the first time I've been sick since we got married but I think it feels worse because I am working now and cannot really rest like I would like. So, here I am, feelin' crappy and, truth be told, really starting to miss my mom when my honey swoops in and makes everything better. Here's what happened: we got into bed and I was feeling physically gross and emotionally vulnerable and alone and then I felt Chris snuggle up behind me and put his arm around me and suddenly I felt completely better( at least, emotionally). This was a really special act that really let me know that was there for me because he does not like to cuddle when we're going to sleep because he can't sleep unless he can move freely but, for me, physical touch is one of the primary ways that I communicate love so what he did really meant a lot to me. He is so wonderful and I love him soooo much! I am really enjoying learning things like that about each other this first year.

Camping!

I am so excited! Chris and I are leaving tomorrow afternoon to meet another couple that goes to church with us and the four of us are going to go camping together up at the Brown County State Park. I am really looking forward to it because it is sort of like a rite of passage. You see, Sunday is our church's third annual Brown county service and a lot of people, especially young married couples, will go up and camp the night before. Well, last year we did go to the service together because I was in town for his birthday but this time last year we were about two months awayfrom our wedding so, of course, we didn't camp, but now we can! We have a tent and Chris went out and got some other pieces of camping paraphanalia we might need so I think we're all set for a great time!

I hope everybody has a great weekend!

Such a great weekend!

Man, I had so much fun on the weekend! I was back in my hometown for this mother/daughter High Tea at this fancy little tea room. I went with my mom( of course) and my sister-in-law, sandra( my little brother's wife), it was lovely! After that my mom and I went to some garage sales ( I love garage saling with my mom). Then we met my friend( the one that just got engaged) and her mom at a bridal shop and I tried on some bride's maid dresses . To top off the evening , my brother and SIL, some of my best friends and I all went to the drive-in to see Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End. It was great to spend time with everyone!
