My Husband-to-Be Rocks!

My sweet husband-to-be was out in the sun for almost 3 hours yesterday. He got so sunburned on his face. But since he was in uniform, the top of his head and top half of his forehead were fortunate enough to be shaded from the sun. UNfortunately, that part of his head is his normal color. From there down to his neck is BRIGHT RED! He has been in a lot of pain because it. That and standing for almost 3 hours.

I feel so bad for him.
