Roses Are Red

The Aggie drove all the way across town – an hour-and-a-half journey – to surprise me by bringing me flowers and taking me to lunch today. It was a sweet, simple, wonderful gesture and it so touched my heart.

I wont go too much into the details for fear of setting off gag reflexes across the nation, but I'd like to tell you what he said these flowers symbolized.

The yellow tulips are a combination of my favorite color with my one of my favorite flowers and the roses represent a year of our marriage.

The red rose is for the passion that we found in our first year.

The pink, blossoming rose is for how our relationship thrived and bloomed during our second year.

The white rose is for the purity of the friendship we have uncovered in our third.

Next year, he said, he will add a fourth. And I can't wait to find out what our marriage gives birth to during the next 12 months.

I say all this in order to reaffirm what I said earlier – I am the luckiest woman in the world.
