Durham, North Carolina

It’s no secret that I love maps.

This black, white, and gold map was just the latest addition.

We’ve also had a giant map of the London Tube on our wall for most of our marriage (purchased for the enormous sum of $4 from Amazon, although it’s now gone up to $6 with free shipping, so most of you are probably priced out).

But probably my favorites are these state maps I put up last fall with the states each of us were born in.

Every time I walked up the stairs (which was approximately 10 million times between September and May), I just felt happy looking at them. They turned out even better than I’d expected, which is not always the case with my DIY projects.

And early next year, we’ll add a new state to the lineup.

  1. Congratulations! I saw this briefly on your fb or somewhere and was confused by the NC, but didn't think much of it. I didn't realize you were going to be back in Durham. Hopefully this will make your stint in London just as enjoyable! I just thought of a side note: my niece has been working out in durham on her mission and loves it!

  2. Aww what a fun way to announce! Congratulations!! I hope everything goes smoothly while you travel!
    (And thanks for that Amazon link, I must be an idiot for never realizing that you could buy art there).

  3. Congratulations! I hope it's a girl for more matching outfits or a boy to see what a son of you guys would look like. I can't decide 😉 I guess we'll be lucky and it's one or the other. I'm sure he or she will be super cute!

  4. Congratulations ♡ Such a cool announcement! I hope you handle all the travelling well, it was never easy for me when pregnant.

  5. Um, I tried to comment and it didn't seem to go through. So sorry if this is a repeat. But congratulations! I hope you are feeling well, and yay for cute babies!
