Anniversery Gift

Yes, we celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary in January.  Yes, it is now August.  Yes, I know that means it's not time for another anniversary quite yet.  However, it does mean that it's about time to hang up the gifts I got Captain Y.  Yes, it took 7+ months to buy some frames and hang them on the wall, don't judge.

A friend of a friend is a graphic designer and sometimes does projects for us at work.  I sent her something I saw online and asked if she could make me something similar.  She did and they are awesome!  I think I might like them more than Captain Y, but I'm OK with that since they hang above our bed.

Each of these quotes is a line from a song played at our wedding!  Let me explain...

I walked down the aisle to "Only Time" by Enya, no here comes the bride for me, it's just not my thing.  

Captain Y's good friend sang "For My Wedding" by Don Henley during the ceremony

We walked out together to "Beautiful Day" by U2.  They are one of our favorite bands and we've seen them on concert three times.  We were in the pit -the closest to the stage you can get - last time!

 
Of course, we already had a picture hanging over our bed so that had to find a new home, now it's located in the guest room.  The beds in both room are black so I think it works just fine.
