I have been incredibly ill this past week. It started late Sunday night and the first couple days it was all I could do to get out of bed. It is the kind of sickness that effects your entire body, with everything from raspy lungs, to congested sinus', from sore muscles, to a fever of 102. I have really slacked off, so much that everyone has had to take care of me. Jill even made us dinner last night and did all our dishes for us.
But the person that has been the best is by far Chad. He bought me every kind of sore throat and cough medicine. He read all the labels and found the ones with the right ingredients for the right symptoms. He spent a long time at the store. When he came home, he also had bought this weeks groceries and had rented a movie to watch. He does everything I could possibly need. He has been so nice, especially since I cough all night and keep him up, but he won't let me sleep on the couch.
And, he completely surprised me on Valentines Day. As I posted earlier he bought roses for me at the store. But that was just a trick. I was at the grocery store on Saturday picking up food for dinner and I called Chad to come meet me at the store because I wasn't sure if I had enough cash, and he told me he couldn't come because he and his dad were working on his truck. I have to admit I was somewhat upset. But when I got home there were rose petals on the porch, they led inside- straight to the bathroom, where he had filled up a steaming hot bath- with salts, candles and some juice to sip on. I was so happy! It really hit the spot, and I was so relaxed after (and a little embarrassed since I had been mad before).
It was the perfect Valentines gift- He might have set the bar a little high for future romantic holidays!!
