I tweeted yesterday that my boys had sent me on a scavenger hunt here at the house. My oldest held my hand and led me in the right direction from note to note to make sure that I didn’t miss anything. His eyes lit up like infinite rays of sunshine. Smiles as wide as the sky. “We worked really hard on this Mom. It took a lot of effort.” About 3 notes in I informed him that this was, by far, the best Valentine’s Day present that I had ever received. I meant that! It has always been the simple things that mean the most to me in life. Gifts that require thought and planning are so much more valuable than gifts that cost a ton of money. When someone gives me something I like to imagine what they were thinking when they were writing, making or picking out that particular gift or card for me. I like to know that they thought of me at a specific time for a unique reason. I admit…I do over analyze most things but I like to consider the thoughts and actions that led to a final outcome. That’s just me. ;-)
Back to the scavenger hunt…I had to share this with y’all as these notes touched my heart in a more profound way than any other gift that my husband has probably ever given me. I guess because we have two children and have been married for almost 10 years…the history attached to these notes made my heart proud and happy. Each note was strategically placed in an area that reflected the message. I loved the anticipation of what was to come between each note. And even though I have always requested strawberries instead of flowers…this was my absolute best Valentine’s ever!
I hope that your Valentine’s was a day that you won’t soon forget.
