Today was Ring Day. My mom calls it our Engagement anniversary. But we never really said anything like that… “We’re engaged!” We just sorta decided to get married. In 1997. Around July 16/17. Then we went to pick out some rings. And they had to do something to get them ready… so… we waited.
Until July 26th.
When I got the rings, I went down to camp where Jen was working with a bunch of tiny, crazy kids for the weekend. I pulled her aside after the activity of the hour and said, “I got our rings. Here’s yours.” 🙂
Romantic, eh? 🙂
So, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of Ring Day today by getting a babysitter for a couple hours after dinner, and going out for some rings. No, not more jewelry. We went to Applebee’s and got their onion rings, and even got a dessert which was a cake in the shape of a ring (filled with fudge in the middle!). Both desserts totaled $10 – which was cool for the 10th year of our life together as one. 🙂
So… one more big day to come… and we’re celebrating that one for a week! California here we come!!!
