St. Patrick's Day Flowers

Saint Patrick's Day is as special to me as my anniversary, because without St. Patrick's Day, there would be no wedding anniversary.  Chris and I met eight years ago today and I don't take for granted how lucky I am that I met him that night.  I'm in awe of how a night out with friends to celebrate St. Patrick's Day could turn into love I thought I might never find and create the family I'm so thankful for today. 

What also made today so sweet is that I got to see Chris's sentimental side.  I'm by far the more emotional and sentimental one in the pair, so just when I wonder if I'm crazy for being so nostalgic about the anniversary of "the day we met," a bouquet of flowers shows up at my office.  A bouquet with dyed-green carnations and an accompanying dyed-green carnation boutonniere, because, it's St. Patrick's Day after all.  Attached was a heart-felt note saying how glad he is he met me eight year ago and how he looks forward to more of the best years of his life.
