Chris got me a new ring!!!


Isn't it beautiful?  I do wish the stones were a bit bigger, but it'll do.  Guess how much he paid for it.  Only $8.12!  That's right folks....this here ring is a gen-uine cubic zirconia purchased from the ever so fancy Claire's Boutique.  I wonder how long it'll take for the "platinum" to turn to rust.  Hmmm...  So, here's the deal.  I have not been able to wear my wedding rings for the past couple of weeks because my fingers are swollen due to the extreme Texas heat and, oh yeah, pregnancy.  I just felt so weird not having my rings on.  For one, I'm so proud to actually have those rings because of what they mean.  But also, I hate thinking that someone might see me with a slight baby bump and no wedding rings and get the wrong idea.  I know it shouldn't bother me, but it did.  So, this was my solution.  Now, I need to be on the lookout for some sort of band....I still feel a little weird just being "engaged." :)
