3 for 3

So, three weekends ago Gigi and Jules were sick. Then, last weekend I had strep throat and this weekend, it was Scott. Scott got strep and had to miss work on friday and we Silvers stretched to get through the days. And now, Scott is feeling better, I feel better, and Gigi and Jules are okay. We are hoping to catch a break and find boring, peaceful weeks ahead.
I am imagining tedious doctor appointments where they shake their heads and wonder if jules and I should bother coming back as often because he is doing so well.... And weekends where no one is sick and we can actually relax and unwind. Maybe, just maybe I will have enough rest and time to speak on the phone to a friend or family member! It would be so nice. So, that is what I am hoping for.
Scott's parents are coming next weekend to help out and will take Gigi to their hotel for a sleepover. We have hired Gigi's babysitter to guard Jules while we attempt our second date night in many months. It happens to be our seven year wedding annivesary and our fifteenth anniversary of being together on June 2nd and we are looking forward to getting out of this cabin fever situation. We aren't quite ready to celebrate, things with Jules and us this year have left us perhaps a bit too shell shocked and weary for that, but just to get out of the house and be together and at the very least appreciate that however awful this year has been and the damage it has done to us as individuals, it has only strengthened our marriage. And for that I am very grateful.
Goodnight,
Joy

Happy Anniversary, Scott and Joy! I was thinking this morning about your beautiful wedding weekend. I'm sorry to know how difficult this past year has been, but I am grateful you spent it together, and I know you continue to build on the solid foundation you have established. Seven years!

I am so sorry for all the sickness and misery! For heaven's sake. I hope you have peaceful, boring, healthy weeks and months ahead, and a nice date to celebrate your anniversary. Your wedding was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to, I will never forget it. :)
