discount roses
I picked up a couple of dozen roses at the grocery store the other day. They were on deep discount (already drooping and dropping petals after only 2 days), but so pretty.
I am a Christian, a wife, mother, homeschool teacher, perfectionist, night-owl, reader, conservative, photographer, and a lot more.
I have 3 boys-- 11 year old twins named Joseph and Brigham, and a 9-year-old named Moses.
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005. I went from a 30-mile-a-week runner to being mostly wheelchair-bound in 2 years. In 2008 I was accepted into the HALT-MS study-- a clinical trial in which I underwent an autologous stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) in an attempt to put the disease into remission. So far, I have remained stable for more than four years!
I am grateful every day for the new lease on life that God (and modern medicine and awesome doctors, but mostly God :-)) has granted to me, and the chance I have to teach and raise my boys, love my husband, and experience the joy, frustration, happiness, and heartache that life brings.

I saw those roses and resisted the temptation, but think they were a bargain. So even if they didn't survive long, your lovely photo will. Gorgeous.
