...In Sickness and In Health.

I'm going to break the rules a bit here.

For those of you who have been following, I've been dedicating the month of October to writing about what I've learned since becoming a wife.  My husband and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary at the end of September and I feel like I have learned so much in the past year that I needed a place to put my thoughts.  So here I am, on day 17 of this month, and I want to visit a topic that didn't actually happen within our first year of marriage.

Well, half of it didn't.

In our vows, we stated that we would be there for each other in sickness and in health.

For our first year of marriage, thankfully, we were blessed with amazing health.  We both survived the year with pretty much no issues, and I'm pretty sure not even a mere cold.  It was wonderful.

We were there for each other...in health.

Then this weekend happened.  21 days after our first year of marriage...I got sick.

...and let me tell you, I never get sick.  Like ever.  And this past weekend, I got pretty darn sick (well, for me at least).

I will spare you the details, but I'll tell you that it was gross.  And not fun.

But what was extremely wonderful about all of it, was that husband was next to me the ENTIRE time.  We were actually camping in the beautiful redwoods, having a splendid time, till about 8pm when my stomach started to hurt.  Being that I never get sick, we just went to bed and I hoped I could sleep it off.  One hour later, I woke up and decided it would be a good idea to walk to the restrooms.  Husband got up and walked me there.  Then he did that again an hour later.  Then he did again every hour on the hour for another two hours.

And he never left me.  Or complained.  Husband of the century I'm telling you!

Not only does this make him the best husband ever, but this shows me how wonderful of a father he is going to be one day.  I know that if we are blessed to be parents, he is going to be the best dad in the world.  He is going to be so helpful and so involved in our kids, I can't wait to see them being loved on by their daddy.

And as for us?  We are going to be there for each other...in sickness and in health.  I know this.

This is day 17 of the series "31 Days on becoming a new wife."  I hope you'll journey with me as I reflect on my first year as a Mrs!  Click on the button to see a list of the rest of the posts.
