"We're In This Together"

This weekend Ryan and I went down with two of our favorite people, Tyler and Kira, to Salt Lake for the Outdoor Retailer Convention. It was so awesome! It happens twice a year, once in the summer and once in the winter. Its where all the outdoor sports stores come together and show off their new gear and clothing for the upcoming year. THere are competitions and drawings and give aways all over the place. It was HUGE! There was so much to look at! Ryan was in rockclimber heaven! He even got a free pair of new rock climbing shoes courtesy of Climb-X.
The only downside to the whole weekend was that I was battling nausea the whole time! I'm sick from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. And then in the middle of the night when I wake up to pee... for the fifth time! I am constantly keeping a steady stream of crackers going into my mouth. If I can help it, I never want to see another Saltine in my life! On Saturday, after walking around for a long time I just had to sit down. So I found a wall by the bathroom and sat. I told Ryan that he could go on with Tyler and Kira and that I would catch up. But he refused. He said, "I am NOT going to leave you here by yourself! We are in this together!" My heart just about melted... until a wave of sickness hit me and I had to lay down. I fell asleep on the floor by the bathroom for 30 minutes and he stayed by me every second instead of looking at all the cool things I know he wanted to be looking at! To top it all off, that night I woke up at 4am feeling ready to puke. He got up, got dressed, and went outside in the freezing cold to the car to get my water bottle. He is just the very best! I am so lucky to have such a devoted and caring husband. As much as I feel like this sickness and pregnancy is mine to bear- he is there with me 100%. We are in this together! And I'd have it no other way. I love you Ryan.
