Suprise!

Every gift we've gotten so far has been special and meant a lot to both of us. But there's nothing more thoughtful and exciting than a completely random, unexpected gift like the one we got yesterday.

FI and I got home from work as usual at about 6 pm, opened the miniture mailbox positioned in the lobby of our apartment building expecting a handfull of annoying grocery coupons and election mailings. The annoying mailings were there (as they always tend to be even though we've opted out of them several times), but wrapped in the middle of the grocery pamplet was a hand-addressed card.

That's weird, we think. After arguing brief about who should open the envelope (FI has a slightly neater method than my just-rip-it-already method) we found a lovely card from one of our college friends congratulating us on our upcoming marriage and saying how excited she and her husband are to attend! We hadn't even mailed our invites yet! Enclosed was a $50 gift card!

Either the friend was trying to ensure her name on our guest list or she's the most thoughtful person in the world. We choose to believe the latter!
