The teapot

When Isaac and I went to register at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for our wedding registry, we found this little gem. The other day I was reading my Better Homes and Gardens (Yes, I subscribe to the magazine that when I was 15-year-old I swore was only for grandmas) and they had an article on throwing a tea party. And guess what tea pot they featured as a suggestion for your spread? You are looking at it!

Well, I guess we have good taste. Thank you Uncle Brian and Aunt Carolyn for the gift that will make us quite the stylin' tea party throwers. I never drank tea before my mission in Russia. But now I like a nice herbal tea every once in a while and especially when I am sick. I especially love to make a simple lemon and honey tea. I just squeeze the lemon, add a tablespoon of honey and hot water. Well, today I cleaned the teapot and it made me chuckle because it reminded me of something Isaac once said to me. We were talking about the teapot (we must have been drinking tea or something) and then all of a sudden Isaac said, "If we ever get divorced, you can keep everything but I am taking the teapot." It made me laugh pretty hard when he said that. Although I'm pretty positive we will never divorce, I know that if we ever did, Isaac would make sure he got that teapot. He loves that teapot! So, if many years down the road, you see Isaac and I are old, graying, wrinkly and wobbling around hand in hand, you can guess what kept us together. Was it compromise? The kids? Forgiveness? Or was it that Rebecca didn't want to lose that teapot in a divorce? Guess we will just have to wait and see...
