My Husband, or, The First Week of Marriage

I'm married! :-D

Similar to the first month of engagement, David and my first week of marriage has been...interesting. Just before the wedding day, my immune system gave up on me and I got grossly sick; closely following, my sister, brother-in-law, nieces, and dad all got ridiculously sick. We all managed to get through the wedding just fine though.

-----Brief Pause for Gratitude------

-Mom; the wedding was BEAUTIFUL, and everything turned out perfectly--I couldn't have asked for more. You are amazing in every way; thank you, and I love you.
-Dad; I know you felt absolutely miserable the entire time, but thank you for being there for me, despite that. I couldn't have had the perfect day without my dad--thank you, and I love you.
-Whitney; that cake ROCKED. For those of you who don't know, I was incredibly neutral about my cake until Whitney showed me a picture of a cake online. I loved the cake, and Whit said she would do her best. The big day arrived, and, despite being sick, having sick family, and everything being hectic, the cake turned out picture-PERFECT. It was absolutley flawless, and tasted excellent :-D You are amazing; thank you, and I love you!
-Trevy and Chantal; despite the fact that my sister-in-law is on the very brink of popping out a beautiful little girl, she and Trevy both found time to talk with me before the wedding, and show their love and support. Thank you both, and I love you! (And little Baby Dougal).
-Casey; Casey was one of the first to find out I was engaged, and one of the first to check on (inadvertantly) and threaten David. I miss you Casey, and I love you--thanks, and I'll be checking in on you (inadvertantly) to see how everything is going.
-Harry and Erin; despite the fact that my other sister-in-law is also going to be having a beautiful baby girl, she and Harry both were able to make the trip up to Caldwell to support (and threaten, in spanish--HARRISON) and show their love for David and I. Thank you, and I love you!
-Bug--I'm not going anywhere. Thank you for the little brother time ("younger", I know). The knife rocks--I'll keep it on me at all times. Thank you for being amazing, and I love you a ton.
(David adds, "Hey there, bunkmate...")
-My New Family; Thank you all, for your support, love, and especially for welcoming me into the family. The wedding was beautiful, and I was so excited to see you all there! Thank you!

--And to all my other friends and family; my family, adopted family, and friends are far too numerous to mention by name, but I want you all to know how much I love and appreciate you all. Thank you for the support, the love, the hugs, and EVERYTHING!! You are all amazing.

----Brief Pause Over----

So, after David and I got back to the Burg (pictures to follow), we started settling into our apartment...and quickly after, both got sick. David is currently recovering from Swine Flu (oink...), and I'm recovering from something. It makes me cough. Regardless, from trials come blessings. My husband is AMAZING. I couldn't ask for a better man to share life with. Being sick means we get to baby each other, which can be fun. After a long day of work, I came home to homemade chicken noodle soup (it was delicious!), and, though I hope we will not spend all our lives sick, I know from those simple acts that I've got a good one.

Here's looking forward to the rest of life!

I love you all!
