I got flowers!. . .At work!!. . .On Valentine's Day!!!

I have never been so utterly surprised in all of my life! I know I wrote the post lamenting the fact that I’d never received roses at work, but I didn’t think that anyone would actually take me seriously!! So there I was, eating my lunch like I normally do, when Janie and Carol (Principal and Asst. Principal) come walking in with a beautiful vase of pink roses. The hope jumps into my head as it usually does, “I wish they were for me!” but that thought is quickly squelched by another, “Are they ever?” and I wait semi-patiently to see who Janie’s bringing them to. She circles the teacher’s table with the roses held high above our heads (Janie is a bit dramatic!) and I’m trying to guess which one of the married teachers at the table they belonged to but Janie doesn’t stop by any of them so I just assume she’s passing behind me to bring them to the table of some lucky student who’s parents sent them as a surprise. When, lo and behold, she puts them down in front of ME!! Oh my gosh, I have never been so surprised in all of my life!! Of course now everyone wants to know what’s going on and my face is about as pink as the roses, but I manage to make it through the rest of lunch and back to the classroom in one piece. The blush has now given way to a goofy smile, but I still can’t believe they’re for me. Thank you, Jonathan. You’ve been a GREAT Valentine! ;)
