We were planning on leaving Monday morning for Tennessee... We were supposed to be back to work on Tuesday. But Christmas night, I got really sick. Puking every hour. So there was no way I could travel. I had to rest all day Monday. Slept on the couch and couldn't eat much.
But that night, Josh and his girlfriend Heather came over with the announcement that they were engaged. He proposed Christmas night. They looked so happy! Mama had gotten a heads up that it was coming, just wasn't sure when.
I feel really good about their marriage. They met at work, and weren't even a couple until 2 days before he left for basic training. Their relationship is based on 6 months of writing letters and talking on the phone. So many relationships are based on the physical aspect (kissing, holding hands, etc.) or just the emotional needs that are being met by being used to having someone (ANYone) around. Josh and Heather have had the space to look at things from an objective point of view.
So while it was NO FUN being sick, it was worth it to be there for Josh's announcement.
