Patterns

Last night, we were still completely exhausted from our New Years ski trip. But when the future mother in law invited us over for dinner, it didn't take but a quick glance at our empty fridge to know that we'd suck up our low-energy levels for free din-din.


After we got there, J's mom says that his grandaddy left something for us. Seeing as how he's getting ready to move into a retirement home, there was no telling what this "something" might be. I was completely unprepared for it. He gave us his mother's china. Twelve place settings of J's great grandmother's hand-painted china. It's darling and exquisite and formal. But it is amazing. And now it's our wedding china.

That's so special! My grandparents china had already been given to my mom and dad, so maybe one day...We have our own and I love it, but it's still not a complete set
