Flowers

I turned 31 a couple weeks ago. I had a wonderful time visiting my Texas family and meeting baby Allison, my precious niece.

Frank and Kristin hosted me for a couple of laid back days and general family fun, and Mom took us all out for an incredible birthday meal.

To cap off such a special weekend, I came home to a beautiful gift from Dad and Janet:



These flowers got me thinking about the whole concept of giving flowers--so many of us always say "I'm not a flowers and candy kind of girl" but in reality they still make pretty much all of us melt just a little inside. Why is that? I've never figured it out myself.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who made my birthday so special this year!
