You probably guessed right. No, I did not want a diamond ring. That was too "ordinary" "predictable" and "BORING"! Yes, I did want a ring, because I like symbolism. I chose a solid wide gold band with a small ruby. Now after 19 years of marriage that ring is sitting in a jewel box, cut open. When will I have it back on my finger? Perhaps when the recession is over, when I get a job, when my youngest child is in high school? Who knows.
Now can you guess how old my youngest child is?
