First, I want to say huge thanks and {{{hugs}}} to Stacey for her booster note!  I got it this morning when I woke up and its just what I needed! You made me laugh out loud! 

So after I stewed some more, which I seem to do quite well thankyouverymuch, I brought the whole thing up to Tom.  Seems like, once AGAIN we had a huge miscommunication.  Which I blame totally on him because he hates to talk.  LOL!  He would rather think it out inside his mind than talk to me. I do believe he thinks he can solve the worlds problems if he just worries about them.

First, I came right out and asked him what I was suppose to get.  And he finally told me it was a ring.  And so I asked him just how much did he expect to spend.  Well, needless to say it was ALOT more than I was expecting.  I dont know why or how he came up with this figure.  I am not a demanding person and to be honest, I would rather shop at Goodwill than Wal-Mart.  I am a cheapo by nature.  Yes, I wanted a nice ring.  But did I want to sell a kidney to get it?  NO!!

 So we talked and came to an understanding that he could still buy me a big ol honking ring without a big ol honking note! 

The ring I had originally picked out was at Sam’s.  I picked this thing out months ago but I guess he thought I was joking.  I wasnt.  I’m not into loud and flashy.  I wanted something simple and plain that I could always add to to celebrate our years together.

 So a friend of mine at work today mentioned Freidman’s was going out of business and having a huge sale.  So I told him.  Not expecting anything but I wanted to put it out there.  So after thinking about it for awhile he said lets go and see if we can find your ring.  And I did.  I had my own personal budget that I wasnt going to go over because I didnt want to do that to us.  And thanks to this sale I was under 325 bucks! 

I guess we both had something to prove to each other.  I needed to know he loved me.  yes, ok…I knew this but for him to give me a ring was what *I* needed.  And I guess he needed to see I could be happy for what it meant, not for how much it cost. 

 Call us crazy, 4 years together and still carrying baggage from our bad marriages.  But we are both happy tonight and I had to share with my buddies here.

 So here it is!  Please overlook my old looking hands!  The cold weather has already dried me out and I didnt have on lotion before we took this!! 

Oh, btw…I gained .8 pound this past week.  Do I care?  Not in the least bit.  I am one happy girl, a very happy in love girl tonight because my love is ready to show the world he loves me too!

so the picture wont link…I’ll keep trying!
