150 Days
When Devin and I decided that we were going to get married and had set a date, I started something called "150 Days Until I Do." And I am so happy that I did. Each day I would write him a love letter or recount one of my favorite memories that the two of us had shared. Then on our wedding day I presented him with the collection of letters I had written. These letters have been more powerful than I anticipated. Each time we are feeling discouraged or frustrated we pull our the notebook of letters and read one. Every time it affirms our love, and completely turns things around. It is so valuable to us, and was such a sweet gift to us both. If you aren't married I encourage you to do this when you are engaged! It will mean the world to your spouse!

ReplyDeletei wrote josh letters nearly every day on his mission and those letters mean so much to us. handwritten letters are wonderful. especially handwritten love letters!
Oh my goodness. this is the cutest idea! Thanks for sharing! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea. When I met Trevor, I ordered myself a 'looove journal' (because I knew he was the one when I FIRST met him). I'm so happy I did that! And I will CONTINUE to do it!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Having little notes or letters to look back on really can do a lot to strengthen your relationship when you need it.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea! My husband is totally not into notes and such, but occasionally he writes me some and I love that!
