Have you checked your mail?
That was kind of an odd request in this day and age. Snail mail is not a thing I check often, but Zeb and Bri told us something was on its way. How intriguing.
Remember them? They are our children that were married in Moab last summer. A very creative, beautiful desert wedding.
It was a very lightweight box filled to the brim with packing peanuts. As I stood over the garbage and started pouring the peanuts out, I wondered if they had accidentally forgotten to add their item. And then I saw it…

Can you see it? The message taped into the bottom of the box reads:
We’re expecting a peanut of our own Oct. 2020
Zeb and Bri
I’m a bit surprised you all didn’t hear my squeal of excitement. Or maybe you did?
As my friend Sam pointed out — now I’m Grandma 2.0 🙂
Love the creative way the kids shared that. One of my favorite Valentine’s gifts ever!
