A few days before Valentine's Zeb said, "Your church wardrobe is struggling." Tell me news I don't already know! It has been AGES since I bought new outfits for church and I have been so sick of wearing one white shirt and rotating my 3 skirts. So anyhow, he told me for Valentine's he was giving me a shopping spree and I had to use the money on church clothes. I was way excited. I wasn't able to go on or before Valentine's so a few days after I came home from a baby shower and Zeb had a scroll and letter on my desk. The letter was a poem he had written about finding my pirate's treasure. The whole poem was so clever, one of his nicknames from our families is the "rhyme master!" :) The scroll was my treasure map! He had marked x's where the treasures were. It was SO awesome! Let's be honest, how many husbands crumple and distress a map and even drip wax into the shape of a heart for a treasure hunt for their wives? I LOVED every second. The girls loved going around with me and finding the treasures. The treasures were pieces of paper that said a pirate treasure, like ruby or pearls, but underneath was a dollar value I got to spend on the shopping spree. It was so fun and sweet. Then he dropped me off at Kohl's (and target after) and took the girls out to dinner...yes, by himself, and I got to shop! I LOVE my new outfits.
Thanks, Zeb! I love you!

This is FANTASTIC! I loved the poem. Way to go Zeb! You're a lucky girl Leah!
How fun! Tell Zeb to give Mat some ideas because my 2 skirts have been well worn and I am pretty sure everyone at church is as sick of them as I am! Way to go Zeb!
Zeb you are an awesome husband! Keep up the good work! I hope you found some beautiful dresses Leah ... have fun showing off your new church clothes!
Wow Zeb I am impressed! I knew you were a good husband but that was good.
He is so amazing! I loved the poem. I am thankful that I have been able to take advantage of the "Rhyme Masters" skills a time or two. Impressive.
Tell Zeb that we will be talking about treasure (for the letter T) in preschool Friday. I expect Hallie to be waaaay ahead of the class because she's already been on a treasure hunt and seen an "authentic" treasure map.
