Roses are Red.....

When I came home from cotillion a few weeks ago, I decided to bring the extra roses with me to beautify my apartment. I drove from the airport over to a friend's house to drop off some supplies for him to take to Haiti the next day and then rushed home in time to go over to some other friends' apartment to watch Life (Which- by the way- if you haven't been watching- you've been missing out. I absolutely love it! Too bad it's over now). I ran into our apartment and dropped my stuff off in my room and after a little friendly harassing from some guys in our ward about having brought home a "pageant bouquet", I rushed off to watch Life. Well, when I got home later on in the evening, I found that my 2 dozen roses had been beautifully arranged and that a poem had been written by these guys. I laughed hysterically when I saw what they had done. They are definitely characters- thanks to Troy and Matt for the poem and flower arrangements- I think that they have new careers as florists waiting for them anytime they want them!

and finally.... the finished product- roses and a poem... in a Mason jar!

And- YES this was written on toilet paper- it obviously has many uses!

LOVE IT!!! Who doesn't love coming home to a good poem every now and again. I'm going to miss this ward and all of the people in it when I leave for the summer- but I'm excited to have a new adventure in Denver- I'll be leaving Provo in 2 days to come to AZ and then off to Haiti. When I get back from Haiti, I'm off to Denver for my internship until the middle of August. After that, we're planning on Havasupai and Hawaii before I start school again- does life get any better???
