Anniversary Flowers!

Saturday was our 6th wedding anniversary and Chris had flowers sent all the way from Iraq! Actually, they were from a local florist, but he ordered them from Iraq! :) So, funny story about these flowers.... After receiving them on Saturday and then talked with Chris, we realized that the arrangement I got was NOTHING like the one he ordered off the internet. It was the wrong color vase, wrong color flowers and they didn't even get the kind of flowers right! The arrangement he ordered was to be in a cobalt vase (to match my dishes) and had white roses, white gerbera daisies, and white lilies! The bouquet I got was in a blueish green vase with pink roses, white and pink carnations (which doesn't come close to a lily or a gerbera daisy) and some kind of other tall white flower (my grandma K. would know the name)! Anyway, after talking with Chris I decide to call the 1-800flowers to tell them about the mix up. They were super nice and said that the florist would have to resend the right flowers. And that the florist should have called them if they couldn't have filled the order right. So, today I got a new arrangement of flowers and they are almost right.... at least this time they gave the right color flowers and a vase that will work better the next time I need to use it!
Here is the 1st set of flowers I got!

This was Allie's little flower. Chris had asked me to give her one out of the bouquet... she loves it and I've even found her watching TV with it sitting beside her! :) Too cute!
2nd thing of flowers: The florist actually called me today to tell me she didn't have a cobalt vase and didn't have the lilies or gerbera daisies. So they substituted with more roses, and a clear vase for the cobalt one. It's still beautiful and I appreciated both things of flowers I got!! I just felt bad for Chris that he had picked out this special bouquet and I didn't even get it! :( Thanks hon, I loved my flowers and appreciate you taking the time out of your VERY busy schedule to order them for me! Love ya and thanks for 6 wonderful years! Can't wait for October!!! :)
