I Married Adventure

Today my husband and I are celebrating our 12th Wedding Anniversary.
I thought today would be the perfect day to tell my little story.
The story begins...
It all started a year ago when I saw a picture of this book cover on a blog. Just for fun I printed it and gave it to Dean for an anniversary present. Dean and I love to travel and go to exotic places so it seemed to sum up our relationship perfectly...and it was written by Osa Johnson in 1940...my maiden name happens to be Johnson...

The story continues...
My friend Rhonda Addison created a series of birthstone crown pictures and I was patiently waiting to see what she would do for May which is my birthday month. When I saw her picture I was so excited and couldn't believe it. She had placed the crown filled with emeralds on top of the book "I Married Adventure" and titled it Unmeasurable Love.

I searched the book on-line and found that it was popular in the 1940's to give as a wedding present. I knew then that I needed to find a vintage copy of this book.

The story continues...
A few months later I was visiting my mother-in-law and I looked up on the top shelf of her bookcase and there was a copy of the book. I couldn't believe it and asked her if I could borrow it because I was dying to read it...who am I kidding I asked if I could have it...:) ...it was destiny!
I quickly read this fascinating book about Martin and Osa Johnson who travel to Africa and the South Seas during the early 1900's. They documented their travels my making movies and writing books. It totally inspired Dean and I to keep on traveling!



The story continues...
I had just finished the book and was telling my friend about it. We switched the topic to how cute her new denim coat was and she told me she just got it at a new store called Martin and Osa....once again I couldn't believe it!
Dean and I made a trip to Bellevue Square to visit the store and the clothes were cute but I was hoping the store would be decorated with vintage travel pictures,memorabilia, etc... but I did buy this t-shirt...someday it will make a cute pillow for our travel themed bedroom...

Stayed tuned for more Adventures of Jana and Dean!
