not so lucky. Justin and I both caught the stomach flu the night before our anniversary. It was beyond terrible. It didn't come as a complete shock, because the kids both had it that week, but somehow I feel invincible when taking care of sick kids. Apparently, I shouldn't.
That night, we alternated our time spent hoovering over the toilet. which worked out well. Around 2 am, I crawled back in bed after one of my episodes, and Justin said "that didn't sound so good". Which I replied, "it wasn't." I remember leaning over and saying as energetically as I could, which wasn't very, "Happy Anniversary."
Yeah, we were pretty pathetic.
Luckily, Justin's parents were in town and it was "our time" with them. They were able to take care of the kids, which was a huge blessing. We spent most the day in bed, fighting the nausea, headaches and body aches. We are so grateful to them. We do, however, feel completely jipped. We were sick their whole stay with us! But, they saw it as great one-on-one time with the kids. :)
My sweet husband bought these beautiful flowers on his way home from work the day before "our day" and surprised me with them before our company arrived. Isn't he the best?? They were a gorgeous reminder of our special day 7 years prior. Love that man.
