Valentine's Day

This morning when we woke up, Will gave me a few Valentine's Day treats: some candy bars, a coffee cup with some hot chocolate mix, and a small, stuffed kangaroo. (He thought the kangaroo was a bunny, despite its pouch and long tail.) My Valentine's Day present to him was some iTunes credit so that he could pick out some new songs of his choice. He asked his parents for iTunes cards for Christmas and didn't get any, so I knew he would be pleased with that gift. After we had exchanged presents, I left for a full day of work at Sports World. 

           

When I got off of work, Will was waiting outside for me, holding my coat. He had strategically placed a card  and another candy bar in one of the pockets. The card instructed me to look in the hall closet.

Following the instructions on the card, I walked home with him and then took a look in the hall closet. In the closet, there was some toilet paper with a bunny on it, and a note directing me to the living room. 

So, I then went to the living room, where I found another card, hanging up with all the other cards. It, too, contained a message leading my onwards to my own closet. 

When I looked in my closet, I found a bunny-sized dress and bouquet of roses for my Build-A-Bunny, Devon Kaye. 

Having completed my mini treasure hunt, I gave Will a hug, and then we went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for our Valentine's Day dinner. On the way home, we stopped by McDonald's to get milkshakes and sundaes and then took a detour through the Cathedral close so that we could see one of the prettier parts of Exeter under the moonlight. At home, we cooked and ate together and then watched a movie.

All in all, it was my best Valentine's Day ever- and I think Will enjoyed it just as much.
