Well, the mysterious smell and quarantining to the upstairs was worth it! He was working on my Valentine's Gift!! I love thoughtful and homemade gifts; I think I have made that clear:) My husband fortunately has an appreciation for the same homemade, thoughtful gifts I do. This means he appreciates my efforts and he also likes to come up with his own thoughtful ideas.
For Valentine's Day, he created a treasure hunt for me. In anticipation of our upcoming Pirate Murder Mystery (stay tuned for that), I was given a treasure chest and told to look for treasures!
Of course I had no idea what I was looking for and I am TERRIBLE at scavenger hunts. I am always the last one to find all my Easter eggs. Yes, still. As in, last year the little kids found more than me. Seriously. Once I realized what I was looking for, that helped.
(Let's pretend I am not in my pajamas...)
I found coins that represented "treasures" in my life, with words like "cousins" and "brothers" and "parents" and "grandparents" and "faith" and "friends" and "communication." You get the idea...there were 50 of them so I'll just stop there. Then there were some really valuable coins for a Movie Night, a Weekend Getaway and My husband (willingly) doing a project when I want! (I always have a list of projects for him).
And these little treasures which represent our little family of three:
The rings which represent our wedding bands and our love:
Yay!! All the treasures! A perfect reminder that the best treasures in life have no monetary value!!
