Roses are green!

Today was just one of those Fridays when getting out of bed in the morning sounds like the WORST decision ever. Unfortunately, very few of us get to make the right decision and stay in bed. My choice to get up seemed even worse after I left my first class and it was snowing. A cute outfit with Toms does not go well with snow. Luckily, on days like these those you love most usually pull through to help you out.

First, I got to talk to my best friend Kate for over an hour! I haven't talked to her in a long time and it was so great to hear from her. Living in different states has been difficult, but I feel like we never grow apart. She actually made my miserable wet walk home enjoyable!

Then due to the snow all of Orem's sports teams practiced inside and had short practices so we got to go home at 4!! When I pulled into our apartment complex I decided I'd go and check the mail (like I have been every day since I wrote my best friend Claire who is in the MTC). I've been let down recently by loads of newspaper coupons but today just one lone little envelope sat awaiting me!! It was so good to recognize Clairebee's handwriting and get to read her letter specifically written to me.

Needless to say, I was in a great mood! I was home early, in my sweatpants and sweatshirt, got to hear from two of my best friends in one day, and was getting ready to watch basketball and 24 all night with Wes. I was set for a wonderful night, but never expecting what came next.

Wes walked in the door with ROSES!! And they weren't just any roses, they were GREEN!!! For no reason Wes got me roses in my favorite color. No anniversary. No birthday. No holiday. No reason except that he knows how much I love flowers. He knows that every morning, afternoon, and evening that I walk by those roses my day will be instantly brightened, and even more because they are green! Who even knew they had green roses? I didn't. Here is a picture. Hopefully they brighten your day too!

Okay, they really are greener than they look in these pictures. Either way, I love them and I love my husband for getting them for me. I am immensely blessed with amazing family and friends. If you are reading this it means you are either family or a friend and I want to thank you for being in my life. Thank you for being little rays of sunshine in my life, even when it is snowing.
