Happy 10th anniversary to me!

I'm a couple months early, but in June, Brad & I will have been married 10 whole years! I'm not the sentimental or mooshy-gooshy type, so I will just say that it doesn't seem like its been that long. We were 23 & 22 (yeah, I'm 9 months older...) & now I look back & realize how YOUNG we were. So, I decided about a year or so ago that for my 10th anniversay I wanted to upgrade my wedding ring. It was gold (gold was ALL the rage back 11 years ago! LOL!) & I'm more into silver now & have mostly silver jewerly so I wanted white gold & of course bigger diamonds. I started saving my money to be able to pay for it. A little background-Brad & I have what I like to call "funny money". We each get to save a certain amount of money from each paycheck to spend on what we want. Brad spends his on whatever hobby he's into at the time & I like to stock pile mine so we have extra funds if the unexpected comes up. (or if I decide to buy a new ring!)

Now, I KNOW it was irresponsible to spend an un-Godly amount of money on a gorgeous diamond ring I didn't need. President Obama should be proud of me, I'm trying to single-handidly re-start the economy! But I saw the "S-A-L-E" sign & the "12 months same as cash" sign & they called to me. I'm ALL about 0% financing, so I came home w/ this! It's a 3-stone ring w/ a diamond anniversay band. Oh yeah, I went all out! The pictures aren't that good, but I HAD to blog about it!

This is the pic I took @ the store to email to my hubby to make sure it was ok w/ him! See, I was thinking of him too! He tried to put a guilt trip on me about trading in my 1st ring. First of all, we BOTH picked that one out AND I helped pay for it! (I'm kinda an independent chickie that way!) I told him that the bigger my ring was meant the bigger I loved him!
