If any of you know Mark, you know that he is very logical and practical. After we got married, I learned that roses and other such pre-picked flowers were illogical and unnecessary because they are already near dead. Even a live Christmas tree is considered dead and impractical. This being said, I have put up with potted plants for birthdays and anniversaries for the last 2 1/2 years. However, Mark and I are working on doing things that may be impractical or illogical, just because it's fun, spontaneous, adds memories to life, and shows others that you care more about them and their feelings than what is practical. I don't think I realized how hard it is for him to do something just because, but he is trying and getting much better - and just to prove it here are my Thanksgiving roses.
It was so cute! I was making dinner on Wednesday and he walked up behind me and said, "This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for you," kissed me on the cheek, and when I turned around there he was with a big bouquet of beautiful roses! I loved it! And I love him! I'm lucky to have such a thoughtful husband that is willing to do impractical things, just because they make me happy. I am thankful for him and all that he does for me and for our family. Here is another picture, taken in different lighting. Aren't they just lovely? 
Just a side note - Mark also spent a few hours downloading new Christmas songs for me. What makes this so special you ask? Well the downloading program we have is still on our old, ancient computer. To do anything on that computer, let alone sit there and download 20 songs is the epitome of patience. And it was just because I told him that I was sick of the old Christmas songs we had. He must love me!
