I am V-E-R-Y sick & I have a Super-duper Husband

I just want to say that I have the bestest husband in the world & I love him very much!!! Let me explain:
We were suppose to be going to an encampment this weekend and I didn't feel too swift when we left yesterday afternoon, but I thought it was just a cold. However, we had driven a little over 2 hours to get there and as soon as we arrived, I got Sooo... sick, like the pull this car over NOW sick :-( So my loving husband drove us all the way back home as soon as we refilled with gas and bought some much needed ginger ale.
But that's not it folks, he makes me a bath when I get home, gets me the heating pad, takes my temperature, makes me tea, brings me blankets, he even put socks on my feet this afternoon when I had a temperature...
All that to say that my husband ROCKS!! And to all the ladies reading this, no, he is not for sale or rent, he's ALL mine!!!!
