Family Creed

So, this summer we went to visit Chris's cousin in San Antonio. Along with amazing food (like Gumbo!), great company, and awesome activities, we also had some good discussion. His cousin and her husband had put together a family creed that was hanging in their dining room. While sitting at the table, there is no way you can miss it. I fell in love with the idea, and absolutely loved a few of their resolutions. I was determined to have my own family creed, and Chris and I talked about it quite a bit during the next few weeks. However, like all things, it got lost along the path of life. Then, a few weeks ago, I was perusing the news and came across an article that talked about how studies have shown that having a family motto, goals, or a creed in plain view of the family, helps children as they grow. I cannot find that article now - rest assured I am still looking - however, it renewed the desire to have my own. Although, Chris and I are far from having children,  I love the idea of having an inspiring reminder of what we stand for. Especially hanging in a vocal point of our home. I think it's far from being completed, and I am still looking for the perfect place to get it printed (and decide if I want an actual print, a canvas, or..... ?). I wanted to  share it here, however, in the hopes that maybe it inspires some of you. I looked into having it designed and printed by an etsy shop, however, I don't have that kind of money to throw around, even on something I think is so important. So, I took one of our wedding photos taken by Illuminated Moments, and made it myself! What do you think?
