2 For 1

This is the second blog I've done this week! I'm on a roll!!

Todays' blog is mainly becasue I'm bored. gavin is grading papers and I'm trying to look busy so he won't make me help (I'm thinking this won't work for much longer).

To kill time I've also been looking online at wedding shoes. I'd prefer to spend the entire night barefoot, but my mother has said no. She also said no flip flops and I'm assuming that probably has something to do with her telling me a million times when I was younger to not drag my feet when I was wearing them. Or maybe she is afraid of me falling down the stairs at the reception site. Either way, I got the thumbs up for ballet slippers so now I'm on the hunt for some cute ones.

In other wedding news that is annoying and cutesy... I'm still staring at my ring all the time. One of my favorite things to do in the morning before work is clean my ring. I really only do it once a week, but it's my favorite. And at least once a week the kids want to talk about it. It is probably my most prized possession.

I know how important it was to Gavin to pick out the perfect ring. He loves to tell me that he got me more than I would have ever let him buy if I had been there. It isn't about the money to me, its about the importance to him. Every step of the way- from the first time he asked me what I thought about him buying me a ring some day, to him asking my father for my hand in marriage, to shopping for the rings, to him picking the perfect time and place to propose- there was a thoughtfulness like no one else has ever had towards me.

My mom told me one day that Gavin loves me the way a guy is supposed to love a girl. The way she always used to tell me I would someday be loved. I'm so glad my mom was right!!

And now, with suffient time wasted, I'm off to go stare at my ring some more! And maybe I'll even go grade a few papers for Gavin! The guy who has made me so stinkin' mushy!!!
