Gifts that a Dragon Could Love

***Mr. Dragon, I know you say you don't read my posts, but sometimes, like Miss Dumpling, I suspect that you are totally lying to me. You don't get to read this one!!!***

***Seriously, I will kill you!***

I have been thinking about what to give the Mister on our wedding day for a long time. The first idea was to score Chicago Bears season tickets. Mmm, yeah. Anybody who lives in Chicago is totally laughing at me because they know how fruitless a quest that is! I don't know if it's easier to get NFL season tickets elsewhere in the U.S. of A., but in Chicago... good luck, sister. There is a fee to get on the waiting list, and then you have to wait - sometimes a ridiculously long time. And - oh yeah - Season tickets are super expensive.

So that is NOT happening (tear.) Think, think, thinkity think - I thought up a new gift that will be both meaningful and useful!

Mr. Dragon is the king of deciding he wants to do something... and then doing it. One day, he decided to learn Spanish... and so he did. He decided he wanted to learn to play guitar and be in a band... and so he did. He started playing guitar about two years ago, and now he's pretty good. His band is about a year old. They play together for fun, and then gig every once in awhile.

Mr. D is at the point where his starter guitar no longer cuts the mustard. When he first began to play, he bought a mid-range guitar that is perfectly decent. Now, however, he is ready for a higher end acoustic model. I just know this would make a wonderful and special wedding present.

I am crossing my fingers that he won't purchase a new guitar before our wedding... so that I can buy it instead! Snapsister A is a professional musician (when she starts talking music... it's like Greek to me!) so I am hoping she can help me pick something out. I can't wait - I know he will love it!

I also have one other present I want to give him. For the first few months of our relationship, Mr. Dragon lived about two hours away, and I only saw him on weekends. However, we wrote each other two to five times a day over email. I think I am going to make a Blurb book with a combination of those early emails and the nicest photos of us. I'll wait to make it until we get our engagement photos done.

Between the guitar and the Digital Love Letter (as I am calling it) Book - I think Mr. D will be SET! What are you giving your Husband-in-Waiting?
