Happy Valentine's Day

So I decided that since my Valentine's Day turned out nothing like I thought it was going to or even how I planned it, I would share with you my rather eventful day.

After my morning workout (which was awesome!), I was at my apartment doing some cleaning and the doorbell rang. So I opened the door and much to my surprise this is what I seen......

A tall, medium build, dark hair, brown-eyed, younger (mid 20's) looking man.....holding a huge vase with at least 2 dozen dark and light pink roses in one hand and a clip board in the other. I didn't know whether to be taken back by the hot delivery guy or the gorgeous flowers! But that's beside the point....here's how our conversation went....

Hot Delivery Guy: "Hello, Happy Valentine's Day!"
Me (in my sweaty work out clothes, no makeup, and nasty hair): "Thanks! Happy Valentine's Day to you too!"
HDG: "I have a special delivery for you today."
Me: "ummm....yes, I see that...!..."

Now at this point, I have about a million things running through my head, like....I wonder who sent me these?........ My parents?....nah...my sister?....yeah right......some awesome friends?.....no way....maybe it's my secret admirer?!?!.....prolly not.....one of my ex boyfriends?....it better not be!....O it doesn't matter Sarah, they're flowers and they're for you!!!

HDG: "You seemed surprised?"
Me: "Actually, I am! I wasn't expecting anything today."
HDG: "Well that makes it that much better then!"
Me: "I know! :)"
HDG: "Ok, can I have you sign right here, Caroline?"
Me thinking: (Wait...did he just say Caroline?!?!?!)
Me: "Umm...my name is Sarah, not Caroline."
HDG: "O.....really?....this is (rattles off my address) isn't it?"
Me: "Yeah, but I'm guessing someone wrote down the wrong address, because I'm pretty sure I'm not getting flowers today."
HDG: "Wow, I am so sorry. This usually doesn't happen."
Me: "Don't worry about it. It's no big deal. I'm sure Caroline will be very happy when she gets them."
HDG: "Well sorry for the confusion. Hope you have a good day."
Me: "Thanks, you too!"

So there is no Cinderella ending, but it sure does make for a great story! :) And of course, only these things happen to me, but that's because God has a great sense of humor and I'm glad he blessed me with a good sense of humor to go along with His. :)

The rest of the day wasn't near as exciting, but I did watch the KSU-KU game (no need for discussion on that topic) and then had dinner and a movie with my great friend, Lori! I even got some great presents from my parents and 2 really great cards in the mail today! The day was definitely way better than I expected and I couldn't have asked for a better Valentine's Day this year. This past week I learned that being single is gift from God and that His plan is way bigger and better than my plan. Even though this week has been rough, I have been blessed with some great friends to help me through it, and I'm so glad Valentine's Day was the ending to a challenging yet wonderful week.

Hope everyone had a blessed Valentine's Day/Week as well!
