4 years ago I was having my hair done and putting on my wedding dress.
Right now, I’m sitting in the office of OUR HOME, next to my man. Drinking a warm cup of espresso. Devon is working, unfortunately, but I think his day started out on the right foot, with me bringing him breakfast in bed…… It is our anniversary after all.
The traditional 4th anniversary gift is fruit and flowers, so it works out well that his breakfast tray had a flower from our yard and cut up fruit.
The 4th anniversary is supposedly supposed to celebrate ideas and symbols, and the flowers symbolize the blossoming partnership of a couple. I’ve noticed that a lot recently. Our relationship growing and evolving into something slightly different. Not bad by any means, just something different. And the more care, love and attention you put into it, the more beautiful it grows. Maybe less flashy, but more true. I’m still ever so in love, and learning more about Devon every day. What makes him tick, and what makes him happy. How to read his face and body language. And he has learned that sometimes all I need is chocolate and an hour of watching “Oprah”.
I love you, Devon. I promise to be the best gardener possible.
