Loving him to the moon and back

Have you ever read the book "Guess how much I love you?" It's super cute. Sorry that I'm going to give away the end but this is what it says:

Then he looked beyond the thornbushes, out into the big dark night. Nothing could be farther than the sky. "I love you right up to the moon," he said, and closed his eyes. "Oh, that's far," said Big Nutbrown Hare. "That is very, very far." Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves. He leaned over and kissed him good night. Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile, "I love you right up to the moon - and back."

That little bit at the end is something I always tell Shayne. "I love you to the moon and back." I think it's common between us women to say little catch phrases or have silly nick-names for our men.
You can imagine that when I was paroozing through Pinterest and came across a sign that someone made saying "I love you to the moon and back," my heart had a small palpation. I knew I could make this. After all, we just moved into our home and I could hang anything on the walls and it wasn't going to be an issue. So here you go, here is a step-by-step of making my sign. (Sorry for the glare on the photos, I was in the garage and had no interest in creating the best lighting for the pictures.)
1. Find a piece of wood. Got it! In the shed, I spotted it a while ago. However, when I went to pick it up I realized it was an old table. OOPS! Thus this masterpiece is about 20 pounds. Haha!
2. Take wood into garage and clean it off
3. Attempt to sand it down, lose interest quickly and give up.
4. Place it on an object that will support the wood and allow you to paint all around it. I found an old trash can. Classy I know.
5. Find paint. Obviously, I wanted to make this as cheap as possible so I got out our extra paint from the bathroom and bedroom.
6. Mix paint. Again, I was being classy by using a stick I found.
7. Paint 1st coat and let dry.
8. Go upstairs, take care of my sweets. Make dinner, do dishes, probably watch TV for a while. Forget about the craft project and go to bed.
9. Wake up, remember the project but don't forget to go to work. Come home apply 2nd coat.
10. I had the idea to use my friends cricut to cut out some vinyl and put it between the base coat then paint over it and peel the letters off. That plan didn't work out so I went with plan B. Stress over trying to free hand the sign.
11. Practice various fonts that will meet your demands.
12. Give up and say "Just do it!"
13. Use your amazing stir stick to prep the top coat paint.
14. Search the garage for a small brush.
15. Start drawing and become pleased with the outcome.
16. Stop 1/2 way through because Biggest Loser is on and that's more important.
17. Drag your feet back into the garage and finish the project.
18. Show it to said love, see their lame reaction but still love it yourself.
19. Find strong enough brackets to hang this beast above your bed. (we have yet to do this so it sits against our wall in the bedroom)

Then just be please and say "I did it and I like it" because really, that's all that matters.
