It's amazing how time can change your thinking. When Alin bought my ring I was in awe, I had never seen anything like it. Of course I thought it was dazzling and beautiful, so shiny and sparkly. Yesterday I looked at my ring after 3 years, 2
BUSY children and one growing belly it has changed for me. I had just finished giving one sweet little girl some Advil (fever for 6 days, trip to hospital) and one little man had just finished throwing up on the floor, his shirt, my hand. My ring is scratched, has play-doh between the diamonds, a little throw up, some tears from me (what can I say it was a frustrating day) I love what my ring symbolizes more today then the day I was given it (March 20, 2009) It reminds me that I have a loving husband that goes to work and provides for our family, that doesn't leave the house without giving me a kiss, and the kids. That I love more and more everyday of sharing this journey with him. Is it easy NO, is it worth it YES!!! It reminds me that Heavenly Father has given me the chance to raise 2 and 1/2 beautiful children:) It reminds me of sacrifices made, my job, my time, my hair, my body, my sanity some days to say the least and reminds me of the blessings that have replaced those sacrifices are so much more important to me than anything in this world. Here's to little reminders like looking at my ring.
