Today was a day of many amazing experiences.  It was the kind of day where even though one big thing seemed to go wrong, I had to remind myself to count all the wonderful things that did happen.  One of those things has a lot to do with my family crest.  

Those of you who read this and know me well, probably know that my family crest is Nadeshiko, or some sort of carnation.  The other week I went to Hiroshima with some co-workers, and come to find out the co-workers wife is from Hiroshima and their family crest is the same! And my family was originally from Hiroshima!  

Anyway, I mentioned that I had wanted to see the flower before I left, and I didnʻt know when I was in Hiroshima but the wifes mom had them in the yard.

You know what they did?  They made me a little bouquet, with the Nadeshiko flower! Then, they brought it back from Hiroshima and I found it on my desk this morning! AMAZING?!
