THANKFUL for My Favorite Man

Our Daily Bread ODBDSLC179:Holiday

Christmas or Thanksgiving
(must include an ODBD stamp or die)



I created this early Thanksgiving card for my main man...it includes a bookmark cut from ODBD bookmark dies.

I know my husband's new career is not as thrilling as his military one...but I am thankful for his faithfulness in going to the office everyday.

 

 

I LOVE having him return home daily...even if we've found a million little petty things to disagree on.

 

 

I told him we've got catching up to do and I'm THANKFUL that we have the luxury of stepping on each others' toes.

 

 

 There's an art to disagreeing...and we are newlyweds at it.

In time, we will recognize each others' clues that say "Don't go there".


I'm appreciative that we can glare at each other~and then depart to separate rooms for a moment to calm down.


A slammed door is much more effective when you are in the same house. ;)


I forgot that I'm such a drama queen~HA!
