All I want for Christmas...


Chris and I aren't really big on giving each other Christmas gifts.  He is seriously very difficult to shop for so this year we just decided we were going to not buy each other anything.  About 7 months ago, we decided to buy a piece of art from a friend of ours that is an amazing artist, Ben Joyce.  He does abstract topography which sounds different but it is amazing!  Basically what he does is take a map and interprets it in his own abstract way.  He came over and looked at the space (above the red couch in the basement) and asked us where we like to travel.  We thought about it for a bit because we love to travel to a bunch of different places, but we were trying to think of something that was very special to us.  I mentioned that I was packing for our trip to Seattle and ding ding ding, there it was!  He took the idea and ran with it!  So our piece is his interpretation of the drive from Seattle to Spokane.  AWESOME!  And I say all I want for Christmas because he came today to install it so I got my Christmas gift:)
