Flowers

Well it's been a busy week. Malachy's started to get some acceptances from grad schools. He got an amazing offer from the University of Texas, but he had to decide within about 36 hours whether or not he was going to accept it and commit to going there without knowing about any other schools. After a pretty crazy Friday night he decided to turn it down, but he will still get another offer from there that he'd have more time to think about, so we'll see what happens. Final decision day is April 15th...
Other than that, things have been good. Spring has seemingly arrived here. It's been so sunny for the last few days and there are no more 30 degree days in the 10 day forecast. I was in such a spring-y mood this weekend, that I decided we had to go to the botanical gardens for their orchid exhibit. 10 years ago I whined when my mom wanted to go to the botanical gardens for mother's day and she told me that someday I'd appreciate them and I suppose that someday has come. There were so many pretty flowers that I have to share them!










PS: Read "My Sister's Keeper." LOVED it!
