Today was an awesome day! I woke up to my husband kissing me and telling me he was going to the church to help with the music team. A couple hours later I finally got out of bed and started to get ready for church. My daughters made me a wonderful breakfast of peanut butter toast w/honey and hot cocoa. Also, there were fresh muffins in the oven. Darian made me an origami tulip – very sweet.
Then I look outside and there is a beautiful new bougainvillia plant from my husband and he also left me a wonderful card. It said:
You Will Always Have My Love
In everything you hope or do, I’ll encourage and believe in you,
For your every joy is my joy too – You will always have my love.
No matter what, no matter where, You can count on me and I’ll be there,
To understand, to show I care – You will always have my love.
You’re at the heart of everything that truly matters to me. I love you and I always will.
He woke up super early and went to the store to buy me these things – he picked them out himself and he knew I loved the bougainvillia. We had decided against it because it was a little on the pricey side (for our budget) but once I saw it on our entertainment patio – I knew it belonged and it was so thoughtful….I am truly a blessed woman.
Plants…

…are cheaper at Walmart and the selection is better. We went to Home Depot first but everything just seemed a little bit pricey. So we headed to Walmart and it was soooo good. We got some beautiful plants tonight to dress up our entertaining patio. It’s so pretty out there – I had no idea that it would look so good! The calla lillies are soooo beautiful
Home Depot may guarantee their plants but I can kill them just as easy as any other plant. And really, who keeps receipts for plants and then brings their crusty dead plants back to Home Depot for a refund? Who???? Not me, I’d be embarrassed and ashamed of myself. Plants are not my thing. But since we’re trying to sell our house we’re staging it and making it quite homey and frankly, it’s never looked so good.
And my plants look great!
