So what's new?

This past week has been a bit hectic for us, but we thank God that we have gotten through it so blessed. On Monday, my lovely wife met me at the gym after I got out of class. However, both of us had forgotten to bring a towel to use (silly Army rules), so we decided to drive to the Commissary and the PX. When she got out of her car to ride with me there, though, she closed her door and then remembered her keys were in the ignition (the car was off, no worries). So it sat there overnight and thankfully her dad had given me a set of keys for her car so she rode with me the next morning and I dropped her off at her car and unlocked it for her before I went to class.
Tuesday she wasn't feeling well at all, and our home teachers came over and helped me give her a blessing. She felt great for the rest of the night and we got to enjoy the company of one of her close friends at our house for a bit. After she left, however, Bethany felt incredibly ill again and was running a fever and feeling chills, so I popped the thermostat up to 75 (I'd keep it in the low 60's if she'd let me, mind you) and piled all the blankets and towels we had on her, and gave her a cold wet rag to put on her forehead to try to break her fever. Even though I sweat the entire night, I was glad to be willing to do whatever it took to help her feel better. The next morning, I wouldn't have been surprised if her temperature was 100 or more. I went to work and kept worrying about her, and as I was emailing her, I felt more and more anxious to take her to a doctor, so I was allowed to leave class (it was a review day for our final, nothing huge) and sped home, talked her into going at least to the Urgent Care clinic near our house (she has an aversion to doctors), and took her there. They ruled out strep, and sent a couple samples off to be tested, and gave her a couple fun shots in the hiney and set her up with some antibiotics to treat any kind of infection she might have. Luckily her fever had broken by this time so that helped my feelings a lot. I'm thankful that I got to be there to hold her hand, make her laugh, and generally hold her and comfort her when she got squirmy. She is feeling much better now, and I know it is because of a mix of the blessing and the doctor's treatment/medicine that is helping her.
That same day, our youngest kitten Huey was scheduled to get his first round of shots, so he got a couple shots in the hiney as well, so he and Bethany got to commiserate.
We did get some of our wedding pictures back this week as well, so we have been ooh-ing and ahh-ing over those constantly :) I love seeing pictures of my gorgeous wife on our wedding day. Every time I look at them, I am reminded of the feelings of joy and love I had for her after we were married. It is my goal to keep showing her that I love her so much every day that I wake up next to her, and how eternally grateful I am that she said yes to my proposal on November 20th. She supports me and loves me and does so much to help me and I can't ever thank her enough.
