A strange car in the driveway...

Curious,

 I went to look who it was...just as the doorbell rang.

I opened and a nice lady handed me these!

No way....

For me?

No way....

My extremely frugal husband sent me flowers:).

Wow.

This was truly an act of love.

And I love them...

But more...

I love him.

I won't sugar coat it, 

 we can fight with the best of them

and we have had some great highs and deep lows

 but I think now I am finally starting to understand something I have always wondered about....

when we were first married,

older married couples would say about their spouse

I love them more now then I did when we married.

I didn't think it could be true for us.

But I think I am beginning to understand.

I think it is the journey,

it sharing life, 

it is the fights you get through, 

it is the struggles you overcome, 

late night laughing about something in our day

it is not so much the flowers, but the daily little acts of love.

I think I finally get it.
