My Love normally gets off work at 5pm and gets home sometime between 5:20-5:45pm pending traffic and the need to stop at the store. Today, it's 4:57pm and I hear him come in. You're early! I call out.
"Yeah, we got out early for Memorial Day today" he replies. (wow. I was so out of touch I had no idea this was memorial day weekend)
Oh, lovely! This means you have Monday off then too, right? I tell him.
"Sure do! he replies happily. He comes into the bedroom and tsks that I've not yet thrown away my birthday roses. They're all dead in the vase on my pc desk. I hadn't had the heart to toss them yet. He takes them out all the while telling me how rank the water smelled. (yeah yeah, it was getting that rotting plant smell to it) He comes back in a few minutes later and tells me to close my eyes. I do and then he says to smell. I do that as well. I smell a rose and I open my eyes to see just the head of a rose he's holding. It's a pretty cream colored, pink-tipped thing. I smile and ask him where it came from. He says it was outside; it must have broken off and he thought it was pretty and brought it inside. He goes back out into the living room. I finish what I was doing and in a moment, follow him to ask about his day and such.
There's a bouquet of beautiful roses on the coffee table. In front of that is a multi-colored bag filled with gold tissue paper. Inside is a card, a bat stuffed animal and an angel statue. See, I collect angels. Especially the Boyds angels - and they have a new line out called "Charming Angels." They're simply beautiful. He got for me the "Angel of Love." She's simply beautiful. Her dress is casscading folds of subtle graded raspberry color and she holds a bouque of flowers. The wings on the Charming Angel collection are a semi-transparant so that light can be seen through her wings.
I start to cry. (Happy tears) And I ask him why? What's this for?
No reason. Just because I love you he replies.
I of course, start crying more.
A couple friends came over in the evening (Rand and Joolo) and then afterwards my Love and I spent the night together. We watched Moulin Rouge and tried our hand at making chocolate milkshakes (harder then it looks! lol). It's been a lovely day and I'm so happy it's a long weekend for him - means we can spend even more time together.
I love my Love. *smiles* I've got some more pics I uploaded to post, but for now, I'm calling it a night.
G'night all.
