A Wonderful Gift!

I just received a wonderful gift!!! Even though it's not my birthday, my husband surprised me with a beautiful ruby ring. He knows how much I hate diamonds (after what I read about those mines, definitely not THIS girl's best friend) and also knows how much I love the color red, and he surprised me with this gem (literally!)!!!

I was so shocked and happy, I couldn't even put my feelings into words. I promise to wear this ring as long as I live, because not only is it beautiful, but it symbolizes my husband's feelings for me, which is fantastic.

I got to hang out with my two sons together today (a rare treat!). The boys and I went out to lunch. I insisted on paying although Kyle put up a good fight. We went to Chevy's, and enjoyed a nice plate of nachos. I did celebrate a bit too much with my "grande" sized margarita--good thing Kyle has his driver's license!

It's a beautiful day, and I'm going to go bask in the afterglow of the setting sun. Adieu!
