Love means never having to look goofy alone...

There are many defining moments in romantic relationships: the first kiss, meeting the family, the first "I love you", the first time he sees you without makeup on, the first time you cry in front of each other... and the the first time one of you gets sick.

Last week Nate started telling me that he wasn't feeling so well. He was "tired and achy" and his throat "felt strange". We're both pretty healthy people so I figured I'd avoid kissing him for a day or so and we'd both make it out alive. Yesterday, though, he sent me a text from work and informed me that he was most definitely sick. 24 hours later he's still a little feverish and pretty tired, but mostly bored. Apparently, I'm not that fun to hang out with all day at home during "work hours". Luckily this is our only wedding-less weekend this month so we can both rest up and relax. Although I hate to see him not feeling well, his being sick did give me the excuse to pick up some of those breathe right strips for him in hopes that it would keep him from snoring all night from a stuffy nose. He'd never used them before, but I think I've converted him...
