I'm All Smiles, Darling

What a guy! That fella of mine surprised me at work today with these beauties, and as a result I had a wee cry followed by hours of an irresistible need to smile. He knows how to pick the flowers, too: Those Gerberas are my favorites and they look stupendous in my yellow office.

The note attached to the bouquet congratulated me on my new office, but I'm seeing the flowers as a loving acknowledgement that we finally made it through the long haul of some of what capital-L Life throws at you sometimes.

Good things breed more good things, apparently. Scott also got his official teacher's certification from the State of Michigan today. I've taken to calling him Mr. I or Mr. Isgrigg so he'll be prepared for when he gets a job.
