This past week was an amazing blessing. I'm overwhelmed by all the love in my life and was so happy that so many of my favorite people could spend time with one another and with us.
By request, my wedding toast:
One of the ongoing lessons of the Camino was the evaluation of things to carry with you. We had the items which were necessary, those which were luxury, and the items that caused pain because the wearer was too stubborn to let them go earlier.
It took me hundreds of miles to let go of many things (both physical and emotional), and somehow in the process of letting go, there was room for something bigger than I could ever imagine. And even more extraordinary was that this would be something that I did not have to carry, but would rather carry me.
At some point in our long friendships, each of you has carried Esteban or me. We want to thank you for those moments and for the multitudes of others we have shared. Thank you for being here with us today. We are grateful for your love.
