Just A Moment, Please

I just want to take a moment and brag about Joe :) If you have a weak stomach or aren't a fan of bragging, don't read any further! The last few weeks I have been overwhelmed to the max with finals, projects, papers, and everything else teachers love to pile on the last two weeks of class. Just my luck,in the midst of making hundreds of flashcards, editing final drafts of papers, and wanting to stab my eyeballs out over Kinesiology, I got horribly sick. Confession time: I am not one to suck it up and get over it quickly or quietly. I am a full on baby about it. In hopes of justifying my ridiculous behavior let me ask you this: how would you feel if you had tonsillitis the week before finals and two weeks before you leave for tour with your dance company to Texas? S.T.R.E.S.S.E.D. 

Partially justified, right?

Of course, Joe had been sick the week before as well, but handled it like a champ.  We have seen each other through pretty much everything, being sick was not one of those. Anyone who knows me and has seen me sick is probably thinking, "Wow, he is still going to marry her?" Yeah, I was surprised too. He was so amazing and patient with me every time I'd cry or complain (which was a lot of the time) He made sure I went to bed early and was taking my medicine at the right times and would call every chance he could at work to make sure I was doing okay.  These may seem silly and mundane to some of you reading, but it wasn't what Joe did it was how he did it.  It was all out of complete love and consideration for me.  Even though he was still just as sick as I was, he made sure I was comfortable first and had everything I needed or wanted.  He could have just said, "Well I'm sick too, I can't take care of you" he made sure to do everything he could to make me happy, which is quite the task when I'm sick. It might sound weird, but I fell more in love with Joe during that time. Seeing him be as selfless as possible was so amazing, he is definitely an example to me of everything I need to improve on!

It's not like I'm counting or anything, but 168 days until we get married! Woot woot! :)
