Christmas Overview

This is going to be a very uplifting post (just kidding), because this winter has brought a lot of sickness. It started a couple days before Christmas when a friend of ours went to London and came back sick with a virus. I (Veronica) got it first and then passed it on to Justin and probably the rest of our friends unknowingly. We canceled our Christmas day activities with our friends and got together a few days after to celebrate. I’ve included a couple pictures of our time together. We had a blast and Justin and I felt great, but 2 days after our time together a lot of our friends got sick. We’ve been passing around colds, fevers, and stomach flu’s ever since. Guess we need to spend some major time away from each other to get over all this. Part of me wonders if it is a spiritual battle, or if God wants us to learn how to take care of one another in sickness, or if we all just needed a break and the only way we slow down is for Him to allow us to be sick. Maybe it’s a little of all of them. Guess we will never know, but I am ready for a season of health. The silver lining in all of this is the time I’ve had with Justin. You don’t really talk when you are sick, but just having him in the house is nice. Can you tell my love language is time!
