Flowers for Myself

Since we lost Ella Grace I have made it a point to keep fresh cut flowers in our apartment and have ensured that each bouquet have pink roses in honor of our angel.  I have tried to let "A" have the credit as much as possible and give him "subtle" reminders when my flowers are getting near the point of needing replacing, but most weeks I just save us both the hassle and buy myself flowers!  It's one of those lessons that Ella Grace taught me that I think more couples could learn.  I want flowers...sure, it would be great if "A" just brought them home to me, but it's not gonna happen.  If I just stop at the store and get a bunch of flowers then we are both happy.  I have flowers and he has a happier wife!  It's really just easier that way!  Well, today was flower day!  And I took a picture!

Here are my pretty flowers and my most prized possession!  The only thing that I have in this whole world that Ella Grace touched that I have.  This is the paper where the nurses got her footprints and hand prints and they wrote down her "stats."  I seriously think this is my very most treasured item in the WHOLE world!  I can't even imagine what I would do if something happened to this piece of paper! 

I just had to share my pretty roses and my little piece of Ella Grace!  Can you believe that tomorrow is Thursday?!?!  This week is practically over!  "A" and I have another out of town wedding to attend this weekend so it should be another hectic weekend!  I am off to work on a great post tomorrow that was inspired by a friend from high school of all things!!!  Have a happy Thursday!!!
