My birthday flowers from Brian

So I honestly woke up on my birthday a little melancholy. Not any real reason, just the wrong side of the bed I guess. I was kinda sad for most of the morning, through the rehearsal I went to, then the sushi place where I was going to treat myself for lunch was closed and that was no good, and so I started to walk home for my 2 hour break before the concert. I walked past a flower stand and thought I oughta buy myself some flowers for my birthday because it'd cheer me up to have nice, colorful flowers in my apartment and to buy myself a little present. So I did - and I felt a little better, but couldn't wait to be home to just sit on my bed and take a deep breath. So I get home, open my door, step inside and see a vase of flowers on my bookshelf and think, "Oh how sweet! Jeremy and Melissa (two of my best friends that live next door to me) put some flowers in my apartment!" - and then I look past those flowers to see more flowers, then step all the way into my apartment to see flowers on my desk, my bedside table, my kitchen counter, my bass amp, my refridgerator, my bookshelves, and two others in my bathroom - my apartment is full of beautiful flowers!!! I was so ridiculously emotional anyway that I just sat on my bed, put down the $5 flowers I got myself to brighten up my apartment, and cried. Aahh...it felt good, and I couldn't get over how sweet the flowers were! So I walk over to Jeremy and Melissa's apartment and get huge hugs from them and when I thank them soooo much for the flowers, they tell me that they're actually from Brian, which then made me even more emotional!! Right then my phone starts to ring and it's Brian so I get to gush and thank him for the flowers and one of the things that makes it so sweet is that he really just wanted my birthday to be a great day and that he just really wanted me to be happy that day. So he called Jeremy and Melissa and asked them if they'd do him a favor - and his main request was just that my room be full of flowers when I walked in, which is why he didn't want them delivered, because he really just wanted me to walk into a room full of flowers. I have someone who really, really cares about me. And I care so much about him. We are very lucky. But I also have to add that both he and I thought it was really cool that Jeremy and Melissa (Melissa is his sister, and my friend for several years, and Jeremy is Melissa's husband, who is also a very close friend of mine, they make quiet a pair of friends!) - but yeah, we both thought it was so cool that they could be a part of that. They picked out the flowers, too. And that makes it all the neater, that they were a part of it. I couldn't have felt more loved. (And then I got my favorite ever phone calls from my family - what a great day when you get to talk to everyone you love so dearly).

Okay! So here are some pictures of the flowers!!!













PREEEEEEETTY!!!!!
