...that's the number of years we've been married. And this little, wooden box is how it all started. My gift from Choua? A weekend of quiet and solitude. He's taking Roan camping and fishing in WI. Honestly, it's exactly what I needed! Thank you, Love!

So why is my wedding band not on my ring finger? Oddly enough, it's the first time in almost two years that I've been able to get it off of that finger! And sadly, I never had to take it off when I was pregnant. I had gained so much weight that the band was a prisoner on my finger for two years. So for now, it goes back to where it came from...the little, wooden box.

Mind you, it's been over a week now that I've had it off of my finger and still you can see the imprint of it tightness on my finger. I've been freakishly afraid that if I put it back on, that I might never be able to get it off again without having it cut off...so I'll wait and hope that I can lose some more weight.
