We had a very busy week the week of our 17th Anniversary. We had the mystery dinner we were in. We practiced twice that week. Then we had the day of the performanceon our Anniversary. Thursday our free night mark had to refree the young mens basketball. We just couldn't find the time to have a romantic outing. Mark came home from work on the day of our anniversary with these flowers for me. Mind you mark does not give me flowers very often. I can can count on one hand the times he has given them to. I think he wants them to be extra special when he does, plus he has a hard time spending that much money on them, as do I being thrifty . He told me: The white ones are for eternity.The red rose is for love. The carnations are your favorite.(They remind me of my late mother.)They are green for two reasons mostly to represent the St.Patricks day parade that we could see through the temple gates on our wedding day, and because it is your favorite color. I am married to a hopeless romantic> I am so lucky!
