Not the most interesting of challenges, but here goes:
TULIPS are my favorite flower!
I'm going to give a short story to make this post a little more interesting. A little over 7 years ago (early 2004), I was sitting with a group of friends in Brough (campus dining hall) eating and, somehow, we got on the topic of our favorite flowers. I mentioned in passing that the tulip was my favorite flower. Unbeknownst to me, someone was taking notes. Not long after that was Valentine's Day 2004. No plans for this single girl! I had no idea my life would forever change that day.
I went to the front desk at Gibson Hall, because I had a package. Thinking it was probably something my mom sent for Valentine's Day, I was curious to see what it was. To my surprise, I found a single tulip with a note attached. The anonymous note wished me a Happy Valentine's Day and had a Bible verse on it. Hmm.. who could this be?
I was thinking it must be someone in my co-ed bible study! But everyone I asked said they didn't do it. In fact, one nice guy said, "You know, the people in our bible study aren't the only people that read the Bible!" *ahem, Donald Meador, thanks* So, needless to say, I was stumped.
Finally, however, the perpetrator came forward and said "Well, I guess you figured out by now... I sent you the tulip." Funny thing... I might've had an idea, but I certainly hadn't figured it out! Anyway, the perp then asked me on a date and the rest is history. If you haven't already guessed, the perp = my husband, Dustin! : D
On another note, I believe my recent planting of oriental lilies in my front yard has gone sour (for a number of reasons, including that I don't believe I planted the bulbs right side up, the bulbs looked dead when I planted them, and these particular flowers are supposed to have good drainage and we had the floods of 2011 right after I planted them). Poor things... But back on topic. I think in the fall I will plant tulips in our front yard. How pretty and fitting will that be?!
