flowers

One of the ways Danny likes to spoil me is by surprising me with flowers.  They really are a cheery way to brighten up a room and my day.  Danny made sure I had fresh flowers before he left for LTC, but of course no cut flowers can last for four whole weeks.  But that's okay, I appreciated them all the same.  Anyway, about a week before he got home, I was having a pretty rough day and just really really missing him when I noticed a voicemail on my phone (I have to keep my phone off at work).  It was from some flower company I'd never heard of, asking me to call back regarding my order. (?)  So I call them back and they inform me that my order was ready but they didn't receive an apartment number.  Confused but intrigued, I gave them my apartment number and told them they could just leave it by the door since I wasn't home yet but would be soon.  On the drive home I couldn't think what was going on.  I didn't think Danny could've sent me flowers, he's been in Ft. Knox with limited phone and no internet access for weeks... but who else would've sent me anything?  Lo and behold, right on my doorstep I was greeted with these:

The card reads:
Almost there!!!
Wanted you to know I love you
and am thinking about you :)
Can't wait to see you!
Love,
Danny

:D :D :D  Aren't they gorgeous?!?!  I absolutely loved it, they totally made my crummy day great even if they made me miss him even more, and I got so overwhelmed, I even started crying, lol.  I found out later he had been planning this before he even left and enlisted the help of his brother, David and his wife, Geneveive (he is in the Marines, so they can relate to Danny and I being apart due to military pretty well).  Danny knew he wanted to send me yellow roses (my absolute favorite flower), but needed some help getting it sent, and needed "a girl's perspective", as he puts it, on what would be prettiest to get me, haha.  So thanks David and Viva too!

I'm so lucky to have Danny in my life, even if we are sometimes apart.  Thank you and I love you Danny! :)
