A gift from the heart.
My husband had a high standard to live up to. For his 30th birthday, I had successfully pulled off a surprise party for him. There were so many obstacles from his parents showing up a day before unexpectedly to the fact that he wanted to go to another restaurant than I had planned to take him to, plus keeping a toddler and preschooler quiet about it in the process! Needless to say I pulled it off, and for a guy that doesn’t like surprises, he was completely floored and surprised. So when my 30th birthday rolled around the following year, he wanted to make it just as good.
And it was!
I came home from a day of shopping to find the kids gone, the house cleaned and a husband ready to take me out on the town. When we got in the car, a series of clues were given to me and a scavenger hunt was on. He took me to 5 different places and after receiving each clue, it created and even bigger clue which would lead to the BIG gift. I actually had no idea what it was, but after a night of fun, I was give the gift I had been wanting for the entire year…Lightroom AND a monitor calibrator. (I know I am a total geek!) I had been ridiculously crazy with kids and work and life and he knew I wanted to mainstream my work flow. I was tired of sitting at the computer for hours on end and that I wanted to spend more of my evenings with him, it was the best gift I could have asked for that year. The perfect gift from the heart.
