Today's Shower

I get it now - that term "showered" with gifts. or maybe that was the point of why they named it a shower? which came first? the shower or the shower? i should know these things, as someone who (supposedly) makes a living using his words.

The kind folks at Shepherd's Valley Cowboy Church threw us a shower (the gift kind) this afternoon. It was so nice, everyone sitting there asking us questions about how we met and then giving us generous cards and gifts like some form of reward for our candid honesty. We are now the proud owners of more household items than *I* (Levi, in case you haven't gathered yet) would have ever thought necessary. But you know, the more I think about having a house, and the more blessings we are given, the more I am excited about having our own place.

One of the gifts that we got today was a hand-crafted wooden plaque with "The Home of Levi and Heather Weaver" and when we opened it, it was a moment of "wow, that's going to be true in (at last count) just under 20 days!"

I can't wait.

Thanks to everyone who has deemed us worthy of taking the time to get us something to celebrate our marriage. I don't really know how to process all of the kindness we are being shown. Probably thank you cards will end up being the method of choice, even though I don't think a piece of paper with 'thank you' on it will ever really express how grateful we are for all of the effort.

thanks again
