My Milspouse Valentine's Day

The incredibly thoughtful orchid Joe got me. He has a strict no flower policy, so he got a plant so it doesn't count. :) I joke that Joe is in a mushy deployment mode, because we dont usually recognize Valentine's Day as a real day when he's home.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of my fellow Military Spouses. I hope you have your love at home this year.

Early Christmas present from Joe!

YES! An autographed photo of Sarah McLachlan!!! I have always loved her music and style. Joe is so thoughful!

My wonderful husband deploys and what does he do?? He actually buys us gifts! What an amazing guy! I assume he bought the duck box for my mom because she has ducks. She will love it! It's a puzzle that you have to take apart to get to the box. It's made out of some red wood, but it doesnt smell like cedar, the only red wood I know of. I dont know what trees grow locally in Kuwait.

And this jewelry box is for Joe's mom. It's about 4" by 6" and has a very soft red lining. The leaves and flowers are a metal inlay in the wood, probably brass. But it has amazing detail.
