Gifts

We received our first wedding gift yesterday. Wow! It makes it all so real.

Here is our take on gifts. We don't need a thing, really. We are completely blessed as it is. Now, tongue-in-cheek, if someone wants to give us a house, on a lake, in the mountains, near the ocean, well, we would graciously accept it. And write the worlds most gracious thank you note!

We tell people no gifts are necessary. If someone insists, a donation to either Pointer Rescue or Outward Bound, in our names would be wonderful. This wedding is celebration enough, and those who share it with us is a gift in itself. Still heartfelt gifts are coming our way.

We will be toasting with a gift of champagne at the reception. It seems a good way to start our life together. Light, bubbly, celebratory....and with those we love most. The toast holds more than wishes for the future, it also honors the journeys of the past that led us to this day.

We are gifted, by those who love us and share life in good times and in bad, in sickness and health. For that we give thanks.
