Roses are red. And...crystal?

I've gotta admit it-- Wayne can pick out some really amazing gifts!

One of my favorites is this one...


{Yes, those are all of the little glass creatures that came in the grab bags. I thought it was an appropriate place for them.}

Last Friday, as I was packing my things and getting ready to head home for the weekend, I couldn't help but wish that I could carry that beautiful glass rose with me everywhere I went. I made me a little sad to have to leave it. Then I remember another one of my favorite gifts that Wayne has given me...




Okay, I do happen to adore the cute little box that the gift came in, but that is not even the best part. What could be in this pretty little box?






Last Valentine's Day, Wayne surprised me with a beautiful, perfect, eternal rose. It was a big deal that this particular rose will never die, because he told me it was a metaphor for our love for each other. It absolutely melted my heart when said to me, "Just like this rose will last forever, my love for you is everlasting."



Yes, my Wayne has given me some really amazing gifts, but the most wonderful gift of all is, by far, the love he has for me.

I pray that I will never ever ever take that for granted.
