they look so good in my room, sitting in the vase that came with the first bouquet he gave me on our first valentines day two years ago. he surprised me with a visit to a florist we passed on the way home. he had me pick any flower i wanted, and took pictures of flowers that i liked for future reference. he is the sweetest person i know.

despite being together for about 2½ years, we hadn't gone swimming together yet. today, we finally went swimming in a pool together. it was relaxing. not too much sun, not too much shade. mild water temp. keeping each other's company and splashing water at each other and generally being silly. a complete day, full of contentment.
