So a little back story on me and my husband if you haven't read my about me section. We met at a concert that a girlfriend dragged me to. Long story short, we feel hard and fast. Conversations of "future" plans came up and one thing was the same.
A child.
I was pregnant, 4 months after we met.
Crazy right?
We knew what we wanted and we went for it. Yes I was 20 at the time and I planned my child. Especially fertile too apparently because it only took the first month.
While I was pregnant with JaMonkey my teeth really started hurting because she was sucking the calcium out of my teeth. So I needed to get dental insurance asap.
Jumping the gun we decided we would tie the knot early to get me on his dental plan. We didn't tell anyone. We drove to the courthouse and ghetto style tied the knot. He was still in his work clothes. Truly romantic...not! We made a promise though that we would have a wedding later when our daughter could be apart of it. I thought it would be super special to have her walk with me.
Unfortunatly I couldn't contain myself and my identity was stolen the same month so I went ahead and changed my name. Needless to say our parents weren't thrilled about the whole situation but have no worries mother I will have my wedding one day. I already know where we are having it!
Ok back to the point of this story.
Our first year anniversary I bought Hubs his wedding ring. Actually I was so excited about getting it I gave it to him early. I honestly didn't think he would wear it because he's never worn rings before. But he now feels naked without it.
So here comes my whine. I still don't have a wedding ring...well kinda.
I was holding out hope for a specific ring. It's a gorgeous three stone blue diamond ring with white diamonds circling the blue ones. It was really nice. But it was on the expensive side. Expensive in that we live paycheck to paycheck and have LOTS of trouble saving money.
So I gave up hope that my husband was going to buy me a ring and I bought one myself. I found a very nice Celtic ring to somewhat match each other.
When I ordered the ring I was really excited. I was finally going to have something to show that I am a married woman! Then I got an email the next day.
Sorry to inform you but this ring is sold out and won't be available until the middle of Febuary (this was back in January). We can send it to you in a (much) smaller size in green.
I replied, "This is going to be my wedding ring so I will wait until the new ones come in."
Well the ring came this past Friday!
Isn't it pretty? It's a Moonstone with two celtic knots on the side.
But I didn't get to wear it long. I decided that since I bought my own wedding ring, the least my husband could do was ask me to marry him. I don't mean I hand it to him and he gets on one knee right then and there...which he did by the way. I told him to stand up take the ring and put some thought into it. He owed me that.
I asked him today to see the ring so I could take these pictures for the blog and sure enough, he couldn't find it. I was sick to my stomach instantly. I thought he lost my ring the same weekend I gave it to him, but he had actually brought it into the house for safe keeping. *Few*
But my mother sent me some great information about moonstones that stood out to me and I thought were worth sharing.
Moonstone is a 3rd Anniversary gemstone. Our 3rd anniversary is this year, May 29th.
A stone for “new beginnings”, Moonstone is a stone of inner growth and strength. It soothes emotional instability and stress, and stabilises the emotions, providing calmness. Moonstone enhances intuition, promotes inspiration, success and good fortune in love and business matters.
Moonstone aids the digestive system, assimilates nutrients, eliminates toxins and fluid retention, and alleviates degenerative conditions of skin, hair, eyes, and fleshy organs such as the liver and pancreas. It stimulates the pineal gland and balances hormonal cycles, being excellent for PMS, conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and breast-feeding. Moonstone is also beneficial to men in opening the emotional self.

Wow is that a sign? Am I ever going to get to wear a ring?
So I waited. It's been two and a half years, what's another month.
But I didn't get to wear it long. I decided that since I bought my own wedding ring, the least my husband could do was ask me to marry him.
