We're still learning...

Kruse Farms, OR
My little helpers

I think it's refreshing that my husband and I don't know EVERYTHING about each other! It keeps 'things' interesting and fresh. I LOVE flowers...fresh flowers. NOT the kind of flowers that you get from the gas station down the road, or outrageously priced flowers from the grocery store or the florist. I like the flowers that I can pick from a tree or bush and put behind my ear. Or the kind of flowers (like at Kruse Farms) where I bring a basket, pair of scissors and get a huge arm full of flowers for less then $3!

Saturday I took three willing helpers with me to pick some flowers. The flowers were beautiful. When I brought them home my husband looked at me kinda funny and this was the following conversation...

Carl: "Why did you pick flowers? You hate flowers."

Me: "What, are you crazy I LOVE FLOWERS!"

Carl: "No, you've always hated them, remember when I got them for you and you left them on top of the microwave and they died?"

Kristen, "Umm, that was like 14 years ago, when we were dating. I always loved the plumerias you picked for me that I wore in my hair."

Carl: "Oh, ok."

(He then goes back to playing his computer game without another thought.)

It's funny sometimes what husbands think we like or dislike. I love the story of my dad getting my mom a baseball handheld game for their anniversay cause he thought she'd like it, or when Carl got me a towel that would make my hair dry faster, along with a handheld sewing machine for my birthday...WHAT was he thinking?!

Oh well...maybe it's my fault...maybe I just need to knock him aside the head with more obvious hints of what I like...or maybe I'll just go on with life and enjoy this road we're on discovering new and wonderful things about eachother...
