joy to me and you.

When you're married to a graphic designer, your life is a creative adventure...

Because she snaps pictures of you at all sorts of inconvenient times and refuses to delete the embarrassing ones. Because she sometimes becomes glued to her computer and you have to literally drag her away from her designing. Because she is always making something new and your house is full of little artsy projects. Because she is much better at making food look good than making food taste good. Because she does things, to your horror, like take perfectly good doors off their hinges and then replaces them with curtains that "just look prettier." Because she hangs glittery stars from the ceiling of your living room. Because she insists on decorating your kitchen cupboards with piles of pretty plates that don't match and are impossible to stack... but you put up with them because you know each unique plate makes her smile. Because she is always finding "the perfect shot" and makes you wait and wait while she takes picture after picture... Because she writes you love messages on the insides of your undershirts. Because she goes a little crazy around Christmas time, making Christmas presents, Christmas decorations... Christmas cards...

Because she drags you to a graveyard to take Christmas card pictures. Because she pokes and prods and poses you. Because she asks "why can't you stand straighter" and "dont you know how to bend at the waist" and gets a little bit bossy. Because you patiently pose and smile even though, no, you don't know how to pose like a "J".
 
 
 
 
Because you made this year's Christmas card the best one yet. Because you fill her heart with joy and she likes to tell the world just how wonderful you are.


(PS If you didn't get Christmas card from us, it's just because we don't have your address.)
