"I Love You Because:"

I have been trying to read a lot of "marriage" books and articles just because I find people's opinions and observations so interesting. I hear that the first year of marriage is one of the hardest, so I feel like any wisdom I can get is nice :) and I just love reading :)

Something that I have been seeing over and over and over is how important it is to stay grateful and appreciative of each other. (for instance: last weekend drew turned to me and said, "since when did I become your fiancee AND a credit card?" :) I just had asked if someday we could get mountain bikes. geez, over-reacter :) I really though have noticed how easy it is though to get sooo caught up in where we are going to live, what dress I am going to wear in our wedding, how much time Drew can take off from work for all the wedding festivities etc. It's easy to forget all the little things that make us a perfect couple in the first place. :)

I thought this was such a simple, sweet idea so I tested one out and gave it to my parents:

~Get a cute frame

~Find some cute fabric or paper.

~Use stickers or handwriting to write "I love you because:" on your paper or cloth.

~Frame the cloth/paper. ~Set the frame up somewhere you both walk by frequently or see.

~Use a dry-erase marker to write a reason :)

Hopefully my dad was trying to be cheesey? ;)

then, you just grab a paper towel, erase and...

...

write another reason. ;)
