November Thankful Challenge, the 3rd

Today I am thankful for my super fun hubby!  He is a mess, but so am I and that's what makes us work!  We really do have a lot of fun together!

He loved me in spite of myself and decided to keep on doing it.  We've been together for almost 9 years now.  I am thankful for the comfort that being together for a long time brings, but I'm also thankful that every day still has surprises.

I am thankful for our differences that challenge me and keep me on my toes.  I am thankful for the things that we agree on that give us a common bond.  I am thankful that he knows me well enough to anticipate my needs, but he is still intrigued by me.  I am thankful that God allowed this unlikely match to happen and that He is using us to make a difference to those we love. 

Told you he's a mess!

Day 1

Day 2

Love Map

I found a pin for a cute idea using old maps.  We have an anniversary coming up and I'm always looking for cute and creative ways to celebrate or marriage.  I found the tutorial here, but I changed how I did it a little.

Here is how hers looked:

Here is how mine looks:

I found the white frames at a Kirkland's outlet for about $4 each. I love them!  They are exactly what I wanted!  I simply found each place on mapquest, printed them out, and cute a heart shape out of each.  I cut out a rectangle of burlap just a big larger than the glass in the frame and popped it all in there.  I used a chalk marker to write directly on the glass.  So easy!  So cute!

                           

Now, I'll just wrap them up and let the hubby decide where to hang them.  I hope he loves them as much as I do!
