On March 3rd Andrew and I celebrated our 7-year anniversary! I can't believe that it's been that long already. We had agreed that we wouldn't get each other anything but when he came home from work he surprised me with one dozen long stem roses! I was totally taken back for two reasons...
(1 ) If you know Andrew, buying flowers is typically NOT a first purchase because they are one of the most impractical things you can get.
(2) He didn't get them from a store (no he didn't cut them off somebody's bush!) He works close to the intersection of West Paces Ferry and Northside Pkwy and there is a guy that is out there every day selling roses. For years we have seen this guy and wondered how on earth he's able to make a good living doing that day in and day out. It seemed like hard work for little pay so Andrew decided to buy the roses from him. When he was telling me about this guy he said that he was one of the happiest people he's ever met. He was so excited to be able to be out there just to sell roses and he was anxious to tell him how to care for them so they would last longer. For me, that was sweet experience that made our anniversary so memorable.
In seven years we have had 2 kids, moved 5 times, lived in 2 states, owned 6 cars, made a million memories and learned from every moment. I hope the next seven are just as memorable. I love you, honey!
