So - guys.. I have to keep this quick. Driving currently to the movies, guess what I'm seeing? Well actually don't guess - it's Starwars - anyways... I got my Reddit gifts package and I want to open it BUT ITS FULL OF HOPS! My fiancé won't let me make a mess of it all in the car - I can't wait to open this after the movie!!

UPDATE: I smell like hops, centennial maybe .. And I'm a little emotional. Anyways, I sat on the garage floor digging through this box of wonderful while my fiancé stood over shoulder - just as excited as I was. Within this aromatic box I found three gifts, not one... not two, but three! The first gift, appropriately labeled "me first" is a book entitled "The Brewer's Table." My fiancé is the head brewer at a local brewery - we spend a lot of our time traveling about to other breweries, making friends, memories and enjoying a beer (or two). For our honeymoon, we decided to take a road trip from Seattle to San Diego - I'm thinking this book will be great company on the long drives. Speaking of Seattle, gift number two is a gift card to a brewery where Santa and his wife visited just after they eloped. Santa sent a letter explaining a little more about this spot and how wonderfully special it is to them. We're kind of kindred spirits here - I can feel it! Can't wait to visit this brewery (which is precisely 3,204 miles away from my home.) We'll raise a glass to you guys when we're there! Last but not least, Santa did some research and found that we share a love for Alt-J In his words: "Since you mentioned you're a big Alt-J fan, and are getting married, I had the idea of this little print. The "three points" of month, day, and year, where "two lines" (you and your fiancee) meet. It seemed mildly clever, and would make for a unique gift. If you wanna get all technical and fancy the finished product is a monotype on Speckletone Kraft French Paper with handset letterpress." --- I encourage you all to go check out the How It's Made page: http://imgur.com/a/UZYJw

Santa, I can't thank you enough - the print made me a little teary (but like I mentioned, I was already emotional) (it's been a long day). ANYWAYS thank you so much, I didn't think an internet stranger could be so considerate. I appreciate all of your thought and effort! Best. Gift. Ever.
