{ring bling}

I saw the Ring Bling Link Up, and just knew it was my cup of tea. I LOVE diamonds; but what girl doesn't, right? And I have never told my engagement story on my blog...

even though it was many moons ago!

How we met is something I am going to save for Valentine’s Day.

So stay tuned...

Like I said many, many moons ago... like December 2001. Rob came with me to my family Christmas party. Like my whole family. We are talking 50 + people. It was the normal kind of Christmas party, with a Santa and all. Santa called each of the little kids up, one by one. THEN Santa called me up.

I sat on his lap, and he handed me a little box.

I opened that little box, which held the ugliest wedding band EVER. Complete with a missing diamond. Turns out my ENTIRE family was in on it. They kept telling me how pretty it was.

Rob said it was his mom's ring.... Honestly I was in shock.

Really? Who in the hell does this?

I wanted the joke to be over... but it kept going.

He then gave me my real ring.

After he learned just what a spoiled brat I can be. Come to find out, Rob and his mom hit up the local thrift store to find the ugliest ring they could find.

When they saw one minus a diamond they knew it was the one. And .75 later, he had a ring.

**I promise I will dig the ring he gave me out of a box to show you all. It was awful, ladies. Awful.**

We were married in 2003.

{I LOVE my ring.}
