My Funny Husband and the Surprise Valentine's Gift!

Hi Ladies! I'm sorry I haven't posted these last few days! I've got lots to share with you this week!

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's/Presidents Day weekend! Ours was so great, I couldn't have asked for more! It was a wonderful first Valentine's as newlyweds. We had a relaxing Valentine's evening, spent Sunday afternoon and went to his parents that evening. Monday, we spent the day at the coast due to our day off! We had such a good time!

Mackenzie came home Friday evening with a gift hidden behind his back. He told me he had something for me and handed me this little tea light candle holder.

I said, "Oh! Thanks honey! That was really sweet of you. What is this for?" (Forgetting that Valentine's is tomorrow!) He said, "Happy Valentine's day!". And my response was "Oh! How sweet of you. Thanks." (Trying to hide my disappointment) Now let me mention that we are trying to be frugal and save money. However, I looked at the back of the candle and noticed the price tag. $1.99. I also noticed that it was from Goodwill. Not that this is a bad thing. I LOVE thrift shopping and finding good bargains. However, on this Valentine's day, I was a little bummed. I secretly hoped that I would at least get flowers. I probably sound horrible!

But, none the less, I did my best to be grateful of this gift and was still touched that he got me something. Little did I know....

A few minutes later, Mackenzie asked me if the gift was OK. That if it was sufficient. I had to be honest. I said, well it's great but I was kind of hoping for
something like flowers...

M "Oh I'm so sorry honey. Can I please try again?"
Confused, B said, "Um sure."
M: "Well would you like me to try again tonight or tomorrow?"
B: "Um...tonight would be OK..."
M: "Close your eyes." (Ruffling in his jacket), "OK!"

He pulled out a little box with this in it:

I was COMPLETELY surprised! Mackenzie was so thoughtful to give me this. I couldn't believe it! Here we are supposed to be saving money and he pops this out! We are still trying to be frugal but he said that he really wanted this Valentine's to be special. And it was special. With or without the necklace!

The funny thing about this whole story is, Mackenzie actually wanted me to be really upset about the candle holder. He wanted me to say something like, "Oh...is that it?" haha. I just couldn't do something like that to him. Even though those thoughts ran through my head. I definitely don't expect him to get me gifts like this all the time, but it was a very nice surprise.

Tomorrow, I'm going to be sharing about our trip to the coast, but here's a little preview! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
