A RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SAD to say---but so very true.

I have never had one.......we never got wedding rings when we got married. We were to poor.

Mike, the stud he is, took on Me and the girls and a ring wasn't a priority....:)

I knew one day I would have one and it never bothered me!

SO NOW----I look like Im married!

.

.

I love it tho----its so vintage-y looking. Its so me!

Sad the weekend is over......:(

Mike is not perfect! And he bugs me sometimes....

He is better with money then me and it bugs me!

He likes to give the "pep" talks to much...and I like to roll my eyes at him

He tells me to wear shoes when I mow the lawn...lol, {I hate that}

me lectures me about wearing UGLY safety glasses when i weed eat....seriously, thats so gay! {do they come in pink?}

He always farts on me!

.

.

I luv that he falls up the stairs alot...i laugh so HARD!

I luv that he is HONEST, more honest then anyone i know.

I luv that he loves me.....really loves me!

i luv that he swears when he trys to fix things

I love that he is a planner----and so am I

i love that he laughs at himself and says the dummest jokes..{i luv his jokes}

i luv that he keeps me grounded and tells me to "calm down" when my head is spinning with ideas.

i luv that he supports me with my MANY interests!
