Return of the random flowers!!!

I haven't said anything on my blog about being sick (for over 10 days now), but... I've been sick (for over 10 days now). Fun, eh? Especially being sick AND pregnant (or is that sick of being pregnant.... AND sick.. and pregnant?!?).
ANYWAY, I didn't say anything because being sick is not all that thrilling. And the details aren't all that fun, either. Although, I must say, I have become best friends with Puffs Plus tissues with the scent of Vicks!

Well, it seems that I, unfortunately, passed along my joyous illness to my sweet hubby, who has been working extra hard to help with things around the house (without being asked!!!!).
So, yesterday he went to the doctor to get a shot and some medication.... both of which I CANNOT do, being pregnant and all. (Ah, yes, the old grin and bear it method!)
It was at this point of relief from the symptoms (ha-ha... "point" of relief... he had a shot, ok; never mind!) that Sean realized just how terrible it has been for me over these last TEN days to be feeling THAT sick.... while being "great with child." ;) And in his wonderful, kind understanding, he called me to tell me how much he appreciated me and all I do. And to say thanks for "growing our child."
Now.... if all THAT wasn't good enough.... I got a surprise knock on my office door yesterday afternoon, with a delivery of a GORGEOUS bouquet of flowers! (I could even smell them... despite the stuffiness! Thanks, Puffs with Vicks!)



And I just had to share a few photos of the flowers, along with the kind-of funny note that was attached.
If you can't read the card on this iPhone picture, it says: "Thanks for growing our baby even while being sick. You are a trooper. I love you very much! Sean"
(I wonder what the florist thought of the somewhat odd occasion and the even more odd message!?!?!)


I'd say that's WAY different from the average, "Happy Anniversary, honey!"
Wouldn't you?!?

Random surprise flowers... just because!

My extremely amazing and thoughtful husband totally surprised me just now -- with a beautiful basket of flowers and balloons! For no reason!
A coworker popped by my office and asked if today was a special day for me. Unsure of what she meant, but quite curious, I answered, "No.... It's just a day..... Why?"
That's when the delivery of random surprise flowers arrived.
And the note attached? It reads: "Just because I love you." If you ask me, that's way better than flowers on a "special" day. In fact, it's way better because this sweet gift just made an ordinary, insignificant, average day quite a special occasion!
THANK YOU, SEAN!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Happy Birthday, baby!

Most of you will NEVER believe this (ha-ha), but -- once again -- we had a family celebration at... yep... La Fiesta!
But this celebration was a bit different; it was a surprise birthday party for Sean! Eighteen of his closest friends and family (twenty, if you include Jaiden and me!) were invited to a surprise "A-Team" party. Sean had NO idea what was happening. Well, he knew that we were going to the restaurant for his birthday dinner, because it was HIS suggestion in the first place, but he had no idea that his family and best pals would be there, too!
Sean spotted a few familiar vehicles on the way in (oops!), but he did not expect to hear the "A Team" theme song as he entered the door, nor did he expect to see all those people, get presents, eat "A-Team" cake and watch a very silly, homemade "A-Team" video.
The look(s) on his face were absolutely priceless! What FUN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SEAN!
("I love it when a birthday comes together!")
