I couldn't think of what to get Ryan for the longest time. I finally decided to get two tickets to a Red Butte Concert. Ryan likes Conor Oberst and he's playing there in September. I asked Demi if she'd babysit that night and she said she would! Ryan was totally surprised by his gift because he thought I didn't get anything since he didn't have any ideas. I got my new ring the weekend before and couldn't wait to start wearing it! I've been wearing my titanium band a lot, but I'm a little sick of it. I don't wear my diamond wedding ring every day. I just wear it about once a week and it always feels more special when I wear it. I wore it to the jewelry store when we were shopping for my new ring, and the jeweler looked at it and was shocked it was in such great condition for being 10 years old! (I guess 11 because we were engaged for over a year before we were married!) It hasn't worn down at all! Anyway, I've been wanting a new every day ring for a while, and found one I love that's the same brand as my wedding ring, Simon G. I decided to get rose gold with white gold details and my birthstone (alexandrite) in the center. It has 22 little diamonds too. My birthstone is color-changing depending on the light. It can be red, green, or purple. Usually it's purple, which I love, but all of the colors look good with the rose and white gold. Sometimes it even looks teal! So cool! It's fun to get new jewelry! I told Ryan I don't want to wait 10 more years before I get something else! Haha! ;)
Ryan and I have had an amazing ten plus years together! We've lived in three places, each had two or three jobs, and traveled a lot. We've been to India, Paris, Australia, Portland, New York, Connecticut, California, Las Vegas, and Hawaii. I have so many memories of our years together. Now we have two beautiful, smart, perfect daughters! I couldn't ask for a better partner in life. Ryan's an incredibly caring and nurturing father. Happy anniversary to my one and only!
