In the 17 Februaries that DH and I have been together, DH has been gone on business travel for Valentine's Day or my birthday (or both) 11 of those years. It's practically a running joke at this point.

but how's this for a punch line?
After assembly, the contents of the box were:

There are 17 of them - one for each of the years we've been togetherThere are some white roses - my favorite color of rose!DH knows I'm not a fan of red roses, but red is traditional. So he got me red roses that aren't really red:
The one on the left is from my bouquet. Compared to the red roses that DD got, mine are a rather deep pink. And a very lovely shade they are!
And the best part is...he'll be home for my birthday this year!
