dave and i had been hanging out together for a couple months as friends and i really had no idea whether or not he had feelings for me. we were in the grocery store as we had decided to pick up some ice cream and dave heard over the intercom "flowers 50% off". it was feb. 15th, the day after valentine's day and dave loves a bargain of any type. he looked at me sideways and stammered "do you...um..do you...". i hadn't heard the announcement and was shocked that the confident man i knew was having difficulty spitting something out. "do you want some..flowers?" he asked. my heart skipped a beat, because even though i wasn't sure if he had feelings for me i knew i had wanted to marry a man like him. he continued "ya know, cause they're half off and.." i smiled and we picked out the most beautiful bouquet of pink roses i had ever owned.
this morning i opened my inbox to an email "use cash for the tax program, if you don't have some come by the school, i do". i don't have extra cash laying around (only my grocery money, which i am super protective about) and dave knew i would have to stop by. i replied back for him to leave it at the front desk and i will stop by after the park. we walked in and the front desk told me to go on down to his classroom. honestly i was in a hurry, i wanted to get to the library, bank, and grocery store before beniah's nap. but he is always proud to show off beniah to his students. i took a seat at his desk and 15 girls walked into his classroom. one handed me a rose and then they proceeded to sing me "can't help falling in love" by elvis presley. i couldn't help the tears-the girls' voices were so beautiful!
