My husband said he had to travel for work—just a quick 2-3 day trip over the weekend. I waved him off and decided to take the kids to our lake house since the weather was perfect. But when we got there, I saw his car parked in front.
I told the kids to stay in the car and went to check. He wasn’t inside, but through the kitchen window, I saw a massive hole in the backyard. Scared, I went to see what it was—and he climbed out with a shovel.“MIA, DON’T COME CLOSER!” he yelled.
“Adam, what are you hiding?” I screamed. “Nothing. Just trust me!”
But I couldn’t.
I ran to the hole, looked in, and nearly fainted. Because down there…
…was a safe. A huge, rusted one.

He dropped the shovel and climbed out faster than I thought possible. “It’s not what it looks like,” he said. I took another step back.
“Then what is it, Adam? You’re supposed to be in Omaha. Not digging up buried treasure like a criminal in the backyard of our lake house.”
He looked down, hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath.
“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry.”
I laughed. Laughed in that dry, scared way people do when they realize their life might not be what they thought. “Worry about what, exactly?”
He finally stood up straight.
“It belonged to my grandfather. He left something here, a long time ago. He always said there was money buried here.
