When Nate proposed it was a long event complete with a canoe ride to an island, a picnic dinner and roses. He did not have the ring back from the jeweler but he wanted to propose before he left for a trip with his buddies... so he proposed with a fake ring.
Then we returned back to my apartment. When I went to my room to put all of my stuff away (he had picked me up from my ceramic's final) there were several dozen roses on my bed fanned out in a circle and the ring in the middle.
What a trickster!!!
Well, I have had those roses for nearly 7 years now. And this is what they looked like when I took them off the plant shelf last week.
I have several other bunches of flowers that are decorating my home, but these and a few others are on their way to the dumpster, and the others might go when we move. I just had our air ducts cleaned and dusted years of dust off of our plant shelves. Our little Maesyn has a "dusty nose" quite often. Although Nate and I don't have allergies, we may have a little person with them... and besides, I am on my way to simplifying (don't know if it is possible). So dust collecting nic knacks and various unneeded collectibles are out of here.. or I will not buy anymore for that matter. Things with sentimental value I will keep. I am afraid that I might regret getting rid of these. After all, I saved the sticky notes that times my kids contractions!
But here are the photos for posterity.
