we've both been blessed with many gifts throughout our lives: most importantly, the gift of opportunity provided by families who love and support us and who have provided everything we need to follow our dreams.  we've registered for the things below to allow us to create and keep a home open to all of our family and friends.  we want to be able to pour you a glass of water, cook you an aromatic meal, give you a clean bed to sleep on, ok and maybe take you camping. :)
