He Loves Me

Today I got up and got the grands ready for school and took them.  I had a half hour to stop at Hobby Lobby to look for a frame to put a picture in for Connor. (his mom passed on Monday)  I found what I wanted and ended up getting a few things to go with the Temple pictures I am making for the grands for Christmas.  I was a little late getting to Mindy's to pick her up so we could go visiting teaching.  We got back on schedule and had nice visits with our new sisters.  Mindy is now my partner instead of visiting teacher and we go visit Jill and Courtnie.  I needed a change and this seem like a good one.  I had little treat bags and a book mark for them.  We had great visits with both of these gals and we will try to catch Shelley another evening since she works every day.

I was meeting the "Fun Bunch" for lunch and decided to stop by home first to go potty.  There was a note on my door saying that I had missed the delivery guy from a flower shop.  I could either reschedule a time or pick them up.  I decided since I was going to be in town I would just pick them up.  I was shocked when they brought out this huge arrangement of roses.  I bet my mouth was opened a little before I broke into a huge smile.  These were for me.  The gal helping me asked if it was my birthday or anniversary and I just smiled and said no...neither.  I couldn't believe all the roses...4 dozen.  They are so pretty and smell so wonderful.  I was just as surprised when she handed me a cute little bag.  I asked her if that was mine too and she said it was.  Flowers and Chocolate...the hubby loves me!  The card said: "You're the Very Best".  Boy or Boy...I'm not sure what I have done or need to do but this seriously made my day.  I thought again about people that say that flowers from their sweetheart are a waste of money.  Well this gesture of love means so much to me.  I thought about how I would have felt if I had just been given the money.  There is something wonderful about seeing these beautiful flowers and putting my nose in them to smell them that can't be replaced with money.  It's a wonderful way to say I LOVE YOU!  And the chocolate just topped it all off.  I love being loved by my sweet hubby.  I had a crazy thought pass my mind....I wondered if these would be my last flowers.  I don't feel like they will be but I did call Larry and tell him he'd better not die any time soon.  He's wonderful and I apparently he thinks I am too!

Lunch with the Fun Bunch

I love that we meet once a month for lunch.  I love getting together with these wonderful friends.  We met at the Pelican today and even though we had heard bad reviews we went and thought it was good.  I always enjoy myself with this bunch and just feel good when I leave.   

 Today was also Veteran's Day and even though I have always felt very grateful for all those that have served and do serve for our country this year I felt different.  I have more appreciation and gratitude for each and everyone of them and their families.  I wonder if it's because I slowly see our freedoms being taken from us.  Insurance is something we don't get to choose anymore. Everyone is forced to comply with the President and his demands.  It's an awful feeling and makes me so grateful for all the freedoms that have been fought for that I have always enjoyed and taken for granted. We as a Country have been blessed because of our Soldiers and I greatly appreciate them all. Carla's hubby is a Veteran and got to eat for free with others who have served right next to this place.  He came over and took some fun pictures after.

I had to make up another collage because there were a few times we were told to put on our silly faces and this is what we got.  Really?  It makes me laugh and really there is one more pic that belongs in her that I slipped in another collage.  Jodi wasn't ready and had a silly face and for some reason I was laughing as if I knew she was going to get caught with that expression.  This group really is sillier than they look.  I love them and I'm so thankful for each one and the friendships that we have.
