. . . about 2:30 a beautiful bouquet of Gerber daisies were delivered to my office. Aren't daisies the happiest flowers, you can't help but smile when you see them!
This picture really doesn't do the flowers justice. There are hot pink, yellow and white ones in the bouquet. They are so big and pretty. And they smell great!
Every year Jarrod sends me flowers. Most of the time he sends me a dozen roses. There have been a few exceptions, like the year before last he got me a huge bouquet that had Star Gazer Lilies in it, I just adore those!. I love daisies, too and Jarrod has twice attempted to send them to me, once they brought me roses instead, and another time they forgot to bring me anything! That was the only year I didn't get flowers on V-day. It was really funny, but I remember it made Jarrod furious! Ah, the memories!
Last night we decided to eat at O'Charley's (we had a coupon, haha!). They, not unlike every restaurant in Jonesboro, were packed. Luckily, we only had to wait about 30 minutes!
We snapped a quick picture before ending the evening. Oh, and if your wondering what I got my wonderful, thoughtful husband in return . . . well, I made him a card of course, and then when we got home last night I made him sugar cookies from scratch!! I got my sparkling Pink Kitchen Aid stand mixer out and even broke in my fabulous lime green ceramic rolling pin!! Those of you who know me well, know this is a pretty big deal! I love to cook, but don't like baking as much! You have to be so exact and follow a recipe, which annoys me because I like to make things up as I go! Well, Jarrod LOVES sugar cookies, so I have been searching for the perfect sugar cookie recipe for years. And I think I have almost got it! I I should have taken a picture of my cookies. I think they turned out really great. I didn't get a chance to ice them last night since they were still warm when we went to bed, but Jarrod still loved them. He said they ranked right up there with his Mema's. Which is a huge compliment!
We had a great day and hope you did too!!

Jarrod, love your green shirt, good color on you!!
Christina, I am SOOO impressed you whipped out the kitchenaid-mixer. Oh how I yearn for one. I probably need a couch more though. Or a nighstand, perhaps? My birthday present nightstand that STILL has not made its appearance.
I'm glad you guys got to enjoy an evening together. Brett dragged in at 9:30 (delayed in Chicago) so there wasn't any kind of dinner or flowers for us!! Maybe next year.
I'm glad you commented on Jarrod's shirt. I love that color on him, too! Too bad last night was the last time he'll ever wear it. . .it's getting a little snug.
By the way I wouldn't have a lovely pink mixer if it wasn't for my wonderful Grandmother! Remember she got it for me as a wedding present. Maybe you need to hit your grammy up for one! haha! I don't know if I told you or not, but Jarrod's mom got me a bunch of different attachements for it for christmas. I can chop & shred veggies, make pasta and grind meat now! haha! It will be lots of fun to use. . . someday!
I'm glad Brett made it home! There is always next year. . .
Glad you guys had fun!!!! The flowers are beautiful!!!
