Today is our 8th Anniversary. It's hard to believe it has been 8 years and yet at the same time, I can't really remember my life without my husband. He is my companion and my best friend. Not only did our anniversary land on a Wednesday, our friends from central California happened to be in town tonight. So, we put our celebration on hold until this weekend. Or at least I thought we had...
On our way to dinner tonight, I was surprised by this beautiful arrangement: there are daisies because they are pretty, a carnation because it smells good, 8 flowers - 1 for ever year, and 8 different flowers because each year has represented a different time in our lives, with different experiences and changes. What was funny is that the flower lady kept trying to give him another flower - to make it an odd number and more balanced. She even told him she wouldn't charge for it - but he was like, it has to be 8 - that's the point.

It still amazes me to see how utterly romantic my brother can be. Not that I don't think he's capable of that, but you just don't tend to think of your brother that way. What a catch! I mean, there was even thought in the type of flowers and the number and everything. Most guys would have just snagged some roses and sprinted to the cash register. Very sweet.
Way to go Madbrad!
Congrats!! so colorful flowers.
