1 year Anniversary

Well, what a week it’s been. Last week I had a minor itchy throat that I assumed were allergies; it progressed to sinus pressure and difficulty swallowing. I found out that I had a sinus infection and to top that off, tonsillitis as well. Never really experience tonsillitis before, and I really don’t think I want to again. I had horrible aches throughout my body, a fever, sore throat, nasty blistering and puss on my tonsils and the symptoms of a sinus infection as well. To make matters worse, the antibiotic my doctor prescribed was really acidic and I had fun dealing with extra acid in my stomach for a day; it made me extremely nauseous. Cameron ended up calling the doctor to change my prescription, but there was nothing they could do about the side effects I was having so I just had to wait it out. Wasn’t fun.

Some of the medicine I took , not including a pro biotic and a multi-vitamin.

Those side effects weren’t the only thing I was dealing with either. Because of all the pain I was experiencing that week, I had been taking Excedrin and IB profin to calm my fever and reduce my aches and pains. Because of that, my poor esophagus was getting tender, and since I was coughing so much it basically destroyed the inner lining. So for the past 5 days it has been odd breathing.

Besides all of the sickness, something really fun happened this week! It was our 1 year anniversary! This whole year has gone by so fast; we don’t really know where it all went. Since it was our one year anniversary we were going to plan a fun weekend trip to go up to Salt Lake City on Friday and come back Sunday, but, because of my weak immune system, we had to cancel and see what happened.

Since by Saturday I was actually pretty mobile, I decided I would go to the store and get a few things for Cameron to surprise him with. And I even planned on having dinner made and ready by the time he got home from his volunteer job at the hospital. When he did get home I had a fun candle light dinner made, with a brand new table cloth that I had just bought, and some candy and a pink teddy bear.

When he walked into the house he had a huge smile with a bouquet of yummy red roses and some Martinelli’s to celebrate the occasion. The roses were beautiful! And he was surprised that I made the house all cute and romantic. We had surprised each other, and that was probably the best part.

We sat down for dinner; Cameron decided that we should toast to each other, so we did. Then, this is where the fun part comes; he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, again. No worries, he had a ring to back him up. He bought me a wedding band.

When we got married we decided that we would wait for a wedding band until we had a little bit more money, and somehow he snuck buying it when I had my ring cleaned in November. So although the week started with aches and pains and Cameron had to take care of me, he proved himself that he truly was the sweetest, most wonderful, best husband, and most thoughtful man alive. What an amazing week. I'm a lucky one :)
