Compromise... Again

My 3 loyal blog readers may remember the quilt I made for Brent out of his high school t-shirts. In my continuing quest for order and Brent's continuing quest to keep all of his stuff, we came to another crossroads: his BYU Study Abroad stuff. Brent is very, well, let's call it sentimental. He kept everything: playbills, pamphlets, maps, plane, train and boat tickets, currency, coat check ticket stubs, restaurant receipts, candy he'd forgotten about that was rotting, etc.. I was a little surprised he hadn't collected hotel towels and natives from each country he visited, but I guess even Brent has his limits.

A few years ago I purchased the necessary supplies to make a scrapbook and even made it through Berlin. Then life got in the way. Work. A new baby. Moving. For 3 years I set it as a New Year's Resolution but it got pushed to the side. With our new apartment in order, I pulled out all my scrapbooking supplies and worked my way through the rest of Berlin, Prague, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Stokholm and finally London. I was delirious when I mounted the last photo.

I can check this resolution off my list! Another box down, another day of marital bliss!
