Last weekend was my 25th birthday, and I’d never felt so loved. I don’t know why my life is so blessed to include the people it does, but I feel so fortunate. Thank you thank you thank you : ) Somewhere in between picnics and thrift stores and long talks with dear chums, evenings with family and even a fun dinner outside in the rain, Joe let me see the present he’s been working on.
There are still pieces to be added to it, but I love it SO SO SO MUCH.
It’s gorgeous wall art (inspired by this!) that’s dramatic, symmetrical, and was a complete surprise. AND – all the diamond pieces are interchangeable, so if my ever-indecisive brain wants to rearrange it, I can! 
He’s the man, and he kinda knows it.
Some other time that weekend we went exploring with a camera, because he’s pretty good at that too.
most likely some chauvinistic joke from him….
…and my typical reaction : )
and that’s where my happy (if imperfect and overwhelming but still ever hopeful) life is at age 25.
I have much to be grateful for : )
Happy Belated Birthday, dear Rebekah!
SO cool! Way to go Joe!
And yay 25!
Wow, that Joe fella must really love you 🙂
I KNEW IT! hahaa…. when I saw that original picture per the surprise he was making you, I thought to myself, “I bet he’s making her that structure thingy from pinterest” 🙂
