A few weeks ago my husband and I were in Twin Falls, Idaho. Which, by the way, is beautiful. Did you know there were waterfalls in Idaho? There are.

The reason for our visit wasn’t a cheerful one, my husband’s grandmother passed away and we were there for her funeral. But it was a beautiful weekend celebrating her life and spending time with extended family.

My husband comes from a large family. While I have exactly 3 first cousins, and that’s both sides of my family, my husband has like 25 first cousins just on his Mom’s side. After the funeral service all the cousins gathered at his grandparents home. One of my husbands cousins had on a shirt that said “You Me Oui”.

I love some word play and this was brilliant. When you say it out loud it sounds like ‘you me we’, but then it means ‘you me yes’.

The phrase became stuck in my head. I knew I needed it displayed in my office. Not only does it remind me of the trip where I saw the phrase, but I think it’s beautiful and whimsical. Ready to commit to you me oui? Download the free cross stitch pattern.
