A few weeks ago Hubby was talking to his buddies at work.  They were commenting how they each have a “man cave”.  Then my husband popped up and said, “I don’t think I have a space in my house.”  I was already thinking about this, and feeling pretty guilty.  I have so much fun decorating our home, I really did forget to add his touch to our home.  I thought a great place to start would be our bedroom.  You know how much I love to work with book pages, so I made a Stenciled & Framed Book Page Quote for above our bed.

This quote, “I’m Glad you caught that pass”  has special meaning to us.  When we met the first time, we were playing football with a bunch of mutual friends out on a grassy area.  Hubby and I were on the same team.

He was the quarterback and called the plays.  To tell you the truth, I am not too athletic.  I have rhythm and can dance, but to catch or throw a football, that’s not me.

We were tied at 14-14.

And it was the last few minutes of the last quarter.

The play Hubby called was for me to catch the ball in the endzone.  SO much pressure!!

I remember running towards the end zone, turning…

reaching both my arms straight out in front of me.  Before I knew what happened, I caught the pass!  I really caught the pass!  Hubby ran up to me, giving me a high five, saying, I can’t believe you caught that!  I threw that hard!”  He hadn’t ever noticed me until then.  But because of a football falling into my arms, he noticed me!!  Crazy, I know!

Two weeks later we went on our first date.  At the end of the evening he said, “I’m glad you caught that pass.”

After our 3rd date, he finally kissed me, and again, he said,”I’m glad you caught that pass.”

After we were married driving to our reception, he said,”I sure am glad you caught that pass!”

So to add a little of Hubby to our room, I made this Stenciled & Framed Book Page Quote.  Needless to say, he was so happy to see it hanging in our room.  By no means does this make our room a “man cave”, but it IS “us”, not just me.

I am also working on a few other ideas to bring his favorite color into our space.  I will be sharing that with you, too.

What is a favorite quote or saying that you could add the make your space more personalized?  Do you have a story that needs to be told and shared in your home?   I would love for you to tell me.
