Over the weekend I was in classes and I did not realize that my ring had slipped off of my finger! My dad says that it was like watching the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius! I don’t really think that I over-reacted too much. But, I was really super upset! He was calmly telling me that it would be ok. He was right…. I think I should listen to my dad more often! Please don’t tell him that I said that!!

I looked up many things in order to fix my too big ring. I looked at things that looked like a little spring. I didn’t like that because I thought that it would rub too much on the gold; after all, I would probably have to have it re-sized a few times in the next year. We looked up ring snuggies…. another temporary solution. It is a plastic tube-like thing that you wear on the underside of your ring. I thought that wasn’t a good long-term solution. So, we decided that we would get a “keeper” ring. So, I went and picked out a small mm ring in a size that would not allow my engagement ring to slip. I found one and it looks good.

I don’t have to worry about my ring now!! I know that things can be replaced, but I really didn’t want to have to do that. After all, it is my ring and I really do believe in what it stands for.

On a side note… I hope that I lose enough weight so that I would have to have my ring sized again!! I think my total is 11 lbs in two and a half months. Still working on it!!
