I used to think getting flowers was ridiculous. In fact, when Russ and I started dating, I specifically said, “Don’t get me flowers.” I couldn’t understand because I killed everything and did not have a green thumb (which I still don’t claim to have but I’m getting better). Then, I grew up. (Ha.) And saw […]
