My 100 dollar date

So, my husband and I are doing our best to save our money and stick to the "Dave Ramsey" money management mind. And boy, I didn't imagine that our emergency fund would be in use for this. Unexpectedly, Saturday morning I woke up feeling a bit crappy and under the weather. I didn't know how long it would last, but I was hoping that it wouldn't stay long....man oh man was I wrong and by 2 PM I was hugging a toilet and we became close.
Only being married for a little over a year this was so embarrassing for me as I had my wonderful and loving husband hold back my hair for me. All I could think about was, "oh, how lovely."
I decided I should rest in a nice warm bath and hopefully I would start feeling better. This was NOT the case. I started to freeze, I had my husband heating water up on the stove and in the microwave because I just couldn't get the water hot enough. After a failed attempt to rest in the tub, I bundled up on the couch to warm up. When I started to notice that there was nothing I could do to warm up my body, I asked my husband to take my temp. and low and behold, I had a 102.8 temp. At this point I freaked out, thinking I had the flu or worse the H1N1. Here I was trying to get pregnant with our first child and I could have the flu. I hadn't even had the flu shot yet for this year. "Oh, great."
So, I did what any 26 year old newly wed would have done.....I had my husband call my mommy...ha ha. Of course my mother eased my mind with words of comfort, such as, she has the flu and get her to the emergency room asap. Wonderful, after a stressful week at work I found my husband and I racing to the emergency room.



Turns out after a long wait and some interesting clients that were coming into the ER at the same time, I found out I don't have the flu, rather just a bad case of strep throat, sadly I also found out that I'm not pregnant.
Most of our Sat. was spend in the emergency room and there was as you can imagine a 100 dollar co-pay. But in my eyes it was an interesting date to say the least with my husband, as I discovered how compassionate, loving, and willing to do whatever needed to care for me and make sure all my needs were met he could be. It didn't matter how disgusting I looked or how demanding I may have been because I was dependent on him...he was there by my side every minute. Best date by far and well worth every dime for not only my health but also to discover my husband's unconditional love for me.
