^^ listened to the Philharmonic Orchestra in Central Park while watching gorgeous fireflies dance all around.

^^ I started my 5 day headache on Wednesday and it turned into a head cold by Friday. Taylor surprised me with some yummy sea salt caramel ice cream. We decided I was extremely dehydrated because my kidneys aren't getting enough salt (we've been on a very low sodium diet for some medical reasons) apparently I need more than Taylor does. My kidneys were unable to retain water as well as they were suppose to.

^^ Seth and Jenn suggested I "ground" myself with the earth again - it had been many months since I have been barefoot on the ground. So we stopped in Riverside Park at walked around barefoot for a bit.

^^ Taylor and I met up with Paymon who is at Medical School on the UES for brunch at Sarabeth's. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Super yummy! It was so good to catch up with him!!

^^ I just love him!

(p.s. wedding photos are being submitted to blogs so they are on the down-low for now..)

My husband is amazing. I am so overwhelmed by his sweet goodness and help during this past weekend when I was extremely sick.

He..

• happily woke up after 3 hours of sleep with me when I was crying because of my extremely painful going on 5 day headache. 
• massaged my head and neck, fed me food, made me tea, and held me for hours until I fell back asleep. 
• let me stay in bed all day long as he ran around getting me everything and anything I needed. 
• fed me ice cream for my sore throat.
• put up Trader Joe's paper bags in the window to block the light so it could be darker in our room. (Our blinds are super thin..) so I could sleep easier during the day.
• froze a washcloth so it would be refreshing and cold and put it on my forehead - best thing ever to stop the pain! He rotated it and re-froze it a million times.
• held me and comforted me all day long.
• got me medicine and herbal sleeping pills to help relax me and dull the pain.
• made breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and tea.
• relaxed me by massaging my head and neck until I was tired enough to sleep (at least an hour..).
• gave me a priesthood blessing which literally saved me.

We survived our first bad sickness. And it was the most painful sickness of my life. Feeling better. Still a headcold but my headache is gone for the most part and I am able to function again.

Marriage is good. Bragging session over. I love Taylor Wilkins. Luckiest girl.
