Lovey & Dovey

If you've visited the smART website this month, then you know one of the specials is called the "Lovey & Dovey 12 Years of Bliss" Special (12% off all order subtotals) in honor of Mark's and my twelfth year wedding anniversary.

Well, today was officially "the big day." 

I awoke to a humorous anniversary card (not the usual genre, but the scenario and wording fit us so perfectly, the card was indeed, "perfect"), and a dozen roses set in a mason jar at my place on the kitchen table.

Now, I'm not exactly the fall apart, completely undone over receiving flowers type of gal, but I always appreciate that Markie Poo never forgets, and that He always finds some way to "surprise" me... But here's the best part --
 
No matter how many roses there are, the colors remain a majority of red for love, with a single yellow for friendship.

This is very important because ours was a real "When Harry Met Sally" type deal... We were best friends for several years, when all of a sudden, "BAM!" We each realized we'd met the person we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with... No other one would do.

Wedding bells rang a mere one month later... 'cause after all, "When you finally meet the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible..."

Now, after a dozen married years, we're still so happy and content to be working on the rest of our lives.  We thank God for the events, good and bad, that brought us together as friends, and also thank Him for finally using His 2 x 4 of circumstance to make us see what was truly meant to be... Lovey & Dovey now and for always.
