The day began when her John Evans Middle School students delivered her a dozen roses one by one.
Then another dozen came, this time delivered by the principal. Then came another dozen from Thompson%u2019s best friend, Danine Ehn, the school's office manager.
Dozens kept coming and coming until, by day's end, Thompson's desk looked like a kaleidoscope turned inside out. In all, she had received seven dozen roses.
And then came a few more roses. Ninety-three dozen more roses to be exact.
Those roses greeted Thompson in her Kersey living room along with beau Kevin Hudson, a Frontier Airlines manager who lives in Lakewood.
Bending on one knee, holding a diamond ring in his hand and with Elton John's "Your Song" playing in the background, he popped the question as several generations of Thompsons hid in the kitchen, straining to hear what was happening with their ears to the wall.
