365 days of l love you

Okay, this thing has kind of blown up in my face and that is a good thing. I saw this idea on Pinterest a while ago. I felt The Lord really leading me to do this for the new year. It was the simplest thing in the world to do and cost me about $10. It has been money well invested. I simply took two cheap frames from Walmart and cut scrapbook paper to fit them. I then put them up in our bedroom next to our bathroom. The point is to think of one reason a day why I love Carl. I then take a dry erase marker and write it in the frame every day. He does the same thing for me. I have committed to writing a reason every day for one year starting from our 15th anniversary on December 20. I have only missed 4 days so far and that was because I had the flu and so did the majority of the kids. I was barely able to get out of bed let alone write in the frame. I started taking pictures of the frames and posting them of Facebook. I really put it on there more for Carl to see at work. It has kind of exploded with so many people liking the posts and commenting. The plan was to make some sort of scrapbook for our anniversary next December. With so many people liking this idea and wanting to have some sort of way to keep a better record of the reasons I decided to start this blog. So here is my intent. I resolve to write here everyday the reason why I love my husband. Some days may be short and sweet and others may be longer as I write what is on my heart. I hope the people who read this blog are encouraged to do the same for their loved ones. I will include the sweet reasons of my husband when he writes them. He works so hard to allow me the awesome privilege to stay home and homeschool our kids. He does not have as much time at home as I do. He does write some days but some days he just does not get around to it. That is okay because I started the idea mainly for me to start recalling the reasons why I love him so much. So, I have a lot of catching up to do. I plan to start back from the start and work my way up to the present day. Hopefully I can catch up quick and then keep going.
