we’ve been married for a LONG time…

And those roses.  Wow.

…and those memories…

Then, throughout the day he arranged for the girls to keep bringing me a couple red roses at a time.  Each one laden with another golden strip of paper, these ones (on the red roses) filled with memories from after we were married, another 23 roses.  

So by the end of the day I had these two giant vases filled with beauty…the flowers but even more the attached memories.

Life with this man.

One who won’t like that I’m writing a post about this but sorry, too nice not to document.

Love him, and all those memories he’s filled this “bigger” section of my life with for so many years.

How amazing is that?  Dave is really thoughtful, and has always been a great gift-giver, but this took the cake.

Is it all bliss all the time?  Heck no!  We’ve had some wing-dinger fights through the years (maybe he should have organized a third vase with some thistles representing those…but man, that would have to be a BIG vase!).  To be honest, the fights are some of my favorite memories too.  Because we’ve grown so much from them, each one.  Come to think of it, I think some of those roses did have memories of fight make-ups 🙂

Anyway, It was the most thoughtful gift I’ve received and I will always remember it.
Love you baby.  Don’t be too mad that I posted this.
