i'm a little teapot...

ok, not really.  but i do love tea, and also teapots, and have somehow started a collection without meaning to.  it all began when my seester gave me some yummy tea and adorable teacups for a bridesmaid gift.  later she found out i had no teapot, so she gave me one of those for christmas.  then my voonderbob husband gave me an adorable teapot one day just to remind me that he loves me very much exactly how i am.  imagine my distress when i broke it.  serious llama face.  eventually he gave me a new one, and then my mom got me a seriously cool one and suddenly there are as many teapots as people in our house, and i'm the only one who seriously drinks tea.  for some reason this has only made me like teapots more, perhaps because every time i see one, i think of someone i love.  speaking of love....

on february 3rd, my mr. jonathanly and i celebrated 8 years of blissful marriage.  i have loved every moment of it, even the tough ones, and am thrilled to say that i love him every bit as much and probably more than i did on the day we got married.  i still feel like i've been given an incredible gift every day when i wake up and find my best friend already beside me.  and this year, my wonderful, thoughtful anniversary gift was, naturally, a new teapot.
