I'm a map guy. For as long as I can remember, I've always liked maps. And my favorite kind of map is the free kind. So I'm a big fan of Google Maps (of course, Mapquest and Yahoo! Maps were around first, so they'll always hold a special place in my heart). One thing that I really like about Google Maps is that it keeps on getting better.
I don't know when they "made the magic happen", but I first noticed that they added exit number graphics to Interstates back in June (only a few days after "vafada" noticed). I like having the exit number when I'm looking at which restaurants are on a route that I'm planning on taking, so I really like that they've added the exit number to their maps (before I had to "get directions" to that location to discover the exit number).
Today, I noticed that I can type in a street name (or highway name) and get a map that shows where that street is. It used to be that a street and city wouldn't yield a location unless you provided a street number. (Sometimes, I would literally guess and/or make up street numbers just to get it to show where street is. And it had to be a realistic number.) Now, I can just search based on what I know, and Google will pick a place on that street to center the map. That's very helpful!

I think that it is great that you love maps so much baby! (especially the free ones) :) I also think you are really good at writting. You should write more so people can see how good you are. I love you.
You're so sweet. I'd like to post more, but I'll have to figure out what to write about (and find the time to write it).
I love you, too.
Thanks baby for the wonderful comment you left on my blog today (october 4th). That was so encouraging that I printed off the Bible verse and taped it on my desk! I love you so much and am so blessed to have you as MY husband!!!
