Hey, so finally I am seeing the end of the mono tunnel; let me tell you it has been a miserable two weeks and I am glad I can now swallow and eat food! I am so excited I really haven't eaten anything and if I did I would not keep it down for long. (resulting in a resent weight loss of 6 lb.) BUT that is besides the fact...its going away!!!!
I just now have to keep myself still healthy and make sure to eat and get the nutrients that my body was lacking.
TJ was telling me tonight that I am more myself now, I was running a high fever last night and until about one this afternoon and after my long nap I woke up refreshed (still a little sore mind you) and ready to go! I even started cleaning the house --which TJ did a great job on keeping it not...unbearable for me; haha, he is a GREAT guy!
Well, also good news is last night when I was running my high fever and home alone just in miserable pain around 8:30 -which was the usual time TJ got home from work- I see my knight in shinning armor walk through our humble abode run and give me a big warm comforting hug. It really was just what I needed- I already missed out on so much that day and nobody was around to help me out- He first told me that his shift switched and now he will be working the same schedule as I -YAY!!!!!! But at the time I just cried a happy...joyful...and painful set of tears. I was so happy that the switch was finally made, I was begging for this for a while! So what even made it better is he pulled out some lotion that he won at work (I know, weird prize) and he picked LOVE SPELL (which is my all time favorite scent ) -he said he picked it out for me, thinking I needed another bottle to add to the overgrowing collection ;) -
So, he sat there with me as I was a baby as always and rubbed my feet. (His mom taught him really well!) I have loved him since we started talking over a year ago in April when we were bound together by an English assignment, he would Skype type me a lot at night and he treated me like a real princess.
Well, funny (and I don't mean funny-haha) thing now is that I am recovering from my sickness, TJ has come down with something. That something we are not yet aware of but he has an unsettled stomach and a lower than normal temperature. So I have been trying to be the good wife and help him out.
Ever since I was little I have known that when I throw up...I am on my own, I have to clean it up by myself. Now in no way was my mom a bad parent...we just didn't want more than one person puking their guts out and that is what would happen if my mom were present.
Well, I was in the bathroom one night and of course I shut the door and did my thing when all the sudden TJ comes in and starts rubbing my back (sweet, I know) but I of course choke out the words 'get out I don't want you seeing this' and since that time he has understood (until we went to Lagoon and I threw up in a trash can in front of a big crowd-talk about embarrassing)
I am saying this because I am glad he is going to be the good parent who tends to there kids who are throwing up everywhere per the lack of a stomach of the mother ;)
Man, thinking of it I don't know how we are going to survive as parents; with throw up and pooped on...I cant even handle baby drool!!!!!!
Well anyways, I am glad he can handle children for one and handle the messes they come with as well. It has been a long rough two weeks but I am so grateful my hubby was at my side as much as time permitted and yet went to work to provide an income for us. He surely is a blessing from Heaven and I don't think I could have made it the two weeks without him helping out with cleaning and making me as comfortable as possible. I love him with all my heart and count my lucky stars but more importantly I thank Heavenly Father for preparing this special young man to take care of this princess!
It has been a magical, amazing three months of being married to my best friend. We have had our ups and downs just like every marriage has, but its only made us stronger; more as one unity. Since we have been married we have had a lot of adventures. Starting with the marriage, it was a rush...6 days prior to our wedding we were attending to my sister-in-laws wedding--okay I wouldn't just say attending, we were apart of their special day-- it was...amazing, they made the experience special for everyone! So after the wedding, we traveled out to Missouri and prepared for our own wedding, I was so lucky to have a loving mother who pretty much had everything planned out and done and we had very little to prepare for our day. So when our special day came it was very calm and relaxing, it was super nice. We had a beautiful ceremony with a lot of words of wisdom given to help us throughout our marriage. Honestly I could not remember much about it since I was gazing into my loves eyes and holding his hand so tight not wanting to ever let go. The reception was so beautiful and was done by an amazing woman (Connie Jorgensen) who already had a lot on her plate but put time aside to help me out on our special occasion.So after that reception we headed to Nebraska for our open house, very lovely evening it was; we stayed up later than planning conversing with our parents as well as a really good family that I have known since I was little, and I am so glad they were able to make it out. We then realized it was super late and had to get started on our 14+ hour drive back to our apartment so I could head back to work on that Monday.Since then, we have both gotten pretty far in our jobs. We both work for a company called Focus Services and we work for Century Link. They really seem to like TJ and how well he does doing his job. I have been 'promoted' to a new project which isnt much but I really enjoy it and it really an honor getting this position.I was blessed to have my mom move back to Utah so now we get to be closer and spend more time together before any big changes happen. It also helps to have her near since I was 'diagnosed' with Mono a few weeks ago. Now, I have never had Mono before but it sucks hard core. I have had two trips to the doctors office for pain meds so I can at least swallow without crying. We even had an ER run on Saturday because my tonsils were so swollen it left a very small airway that caused some comlications when it came to breathing.TJ has decided which jobs he would like to apply for the airforce, we had to resign paperwork since the medical records became an issue to get, but now things are on the go and we have all the paperwork complete and just a few things to complete before he leaves--which is predicted for December-February time and he will be going down to Texas. So that is the exciting news as far as that goes, things are working out great!Since we have been married we really havent had a chance to hang out with any married friends, we basically dont have any friends as sad as that sounds; but its true, we dont live in young married couple central. ;) We have had a prospective couple that we have been eyeing ;) I actually work with the husband and we get along great! We have planned on this dinner for the past month or so but...first his wife was sick and I have been sick ever since. So that is still a work in progress!Other than that, life has been pure bliss; my amazing hubby has been by my side and helping me the best he can since I have been sick--I normally never get sick but once I do I get really sick and it spreads throughout my entire body, this Mono has started an ear infection which normally isnt that bad but in my condition with my ears it feels like death--But stay tuned for more updates especially as we begin our new journey into the AirForce, I am so excited for my husbands decision and I will support him all the way through!
