30 Days Of Jessica...Day 10

A picture of your most treasured item.
This is my wedding ring, well plus another band on top for our anniversary last year.  Stephen and I went ring shopping before he proposed, and I remember how mad he got because I was looking at every ring that I liked...without much regard for the cost.  Now I wasn't foolish enough to want the most expensive or biggest ring, I just wanted to look at and try on everything that appealed to me.  When I saw this one though, I knew without a doubt that it was for me.  It wasn't the least expensive that I could find, but by far the most.  Stephen was happy with the price and I received the timeless elegant ring that I always wanted.

Anyway, I chose my wedding ring(s) simply because of what it represents.  Commitment, loyalty, love, family, faith.  Stephen and I have been together 11 years this last April, and married for 2 1/2; we lived together for 5 years before we got marreid.  I love my ring and everything it stands for.  I do wish, though, this wasn't one of the days that I have to write about.  Stephen and I try not to place too much value in material things.  We live modestly, don't strive to have the best of everything but do work hard to own everything we buy...from our vehicles, to our furniture and home(s).
