I don't know how common wedding gifts between the bride and groom on the day of their wedding are nowadays but I thought of the perfect gift for Joe today! I'm not expecting him to get me anything (to be honest, I don't think he would even know that some people do that) but I wanted to do something for him anyway. What is this perfect gift you ask? It's a...
Ohhhh yea, a world map! Let me explain. Joe and I love to travel. Well, he probably does more than me because I could go to Hawaii every year and never see anything else (and be completely fine with it) but he likes to explore new places and not "repeat" too much. We have always thought it would be cool to get a big map and mark with pins where we've been together in the world.
Because I was a little unmotivated to study all day long and this morning I watched a video of a road trip posted on one of the blogs I read every day, the idea randomly popped into my mind and gave me the travel bug itch hard core. After doing a little "map" search online, Allposters.com was where I found this gem. Plus, they were having a sale (that ends today!) for 15% off whatever you buy and that money will be donated to Japan. Double score! Altogether with shipping, this map cost a grand total of $21! I think I might try to find a way to frame it but I'll have to make sure we can still fill it with lots and lots of pins! I'll also write something really cheesy to go with it like, "for all the places life will take us together." Ha It should be here sometime next week and with Joe off at class Monday-Wednesday straight after work, I think I'll be able to get to the package before he does. Keep your fingers crossed:)
My gift to Joe may not have costed me hundreds of dollars but all the memories that we'll be tacking up on it will mean so much more. It will be fun stepping back and looking at all the places we've been together. In fact, he's already thinking about trips for next summer! Thank goodness I'm marrying someone who wants to travel the world!
