So I thought I was doing other fun Update post. Today I tell the tale of the three rings. I was very blessed in getting an incredible engagement ring from my husband, it is absolutely the most beautiful ring of ever seen in my life. I balled my eyes out when he propose, and was in awe of my ring. I absolutely adore this ring and take very good care of it. So much so, that I actually sent it all the way to the original jeweler, shout out to Robyn, to have it cleaned and repaired etc. Well, I lost one of my small diamonds, freaked out, and immediately put my beautiful engagement ring away for safekeeping. In the meantime I wore another ring from the Bahamas my parents had purchased for me years ago, and use this as my placeholder until I can get my ring repaired. This ring I believe is a size 9. It was really fun to wear, it has a pretty purple amethyst stone, and a man-made opal on one side of it. It also has a think three small CZ stones, but they could be diamonds-Mom correct me if I’m wrong. I enjoyed looking down at my hand and seeing a different color shimmer in the light, and thought to myself it would be really fun to just get a bunch of different rings in different colors to wear as I go through this weight-loss journey.
A few months went by, and this ring began to slip around my finger. It was twirling and twirling and twirling and wouldn’t come off by itself but could come off with very little effort. I decided it was time to get a smaller ring. This was exciting, although I missed my precious engagement ring from my husband. In the past I have purchased rings for other people in my family at Kohl’s, so I went there with Shane and we looked at rings together. I found one, he found one, I found one, he found one. The last one that he found I got really excited about, because I thought maybe this is the type of ring he would have picked out for me had he been alone shopping for rings. Because of this, I wanted that ring. Unfortunately, it was also a size 9, which didn’t make any sense because the ring I was wearing was a size 9. It was the only one they had in stock, so I got it. I loved wearing this ring.
Very soon after, I would say about a week or so just ring started slipping off my finger. I knew I had to do something about this. I love the ring so much, thinking of it as a gift from Shane, so I ordered clear ring sizers to wear with it. Unfortunately these ring sizers were so big that my finger could hardly close around it. So I figured, I will exchange it even though I didn’t want to. I came to this conclusion after finding out that Shane wasn’t crazy about the ring in the first place, he was just trying to find something for me to wear, LOL so much for romance. My best friend Liz and I went to exchange it, on a mission to find me a new ring. I honestly thought that I would get one with the colored stone, since I had enjoyed wearing the amethyst ring so much. Alas, I couldn’t find anything I liked more that the ring that I had at the present. So I went up to the counter and asked if they could see if they had my ring at another store, in a size 8. Having that smaller size was so important, because the nine slipped right off. Luckily, they had one in Puyallup. Although it is a little out-of-the-way on my drive home, it was worth it to me. I was ecstatic because I love that ring so much.
I wore that ring until about two weeks ago. Yep, you guessed it… It was time for a smaller ring. I currently wear a simulated opal in a size 7. I found it on amazon and it had great reviews. I’m really enjoy this ring. It is fun once again to have something more unique on my ring finger. It’s hard to believe that my body is changing so rapidly. I look forward to the day when my ring size is more stable and I can get my engagement ring size set.
Thank you all for your continued support and prayers. If you see any cool affordable rings, send me a link! I’d love to see your ideas.
Love,
A
