The Rings

By Kaycee Nilson
Feb. 16, 2006

Valentine's Day 2006 will be noted for me and the tears I shed that day.

That morning, I was getting out Dan's present and when I turned around, on my pillow was a jewel box. I opened it and inside was a necklace with a heart pendant made out of my birthstone. that was the first set of tears I cried that day.

Throughout the rest of the day, I cried on and off whenever I passed a mirror and saw the necklace surrounding my neck.

Then that night, after the boys went to bed, Dan and I were laying in bed watching the Liam Nilson movie "Les Mis." All of a sudden, Dan gathered me into his arms and pulled a box out and asked me if this was the ring I wanted. It's blue topaz surrounded by diamond chips. Then I started with the waterwoks again.

Then he pulled out another jewel box and said, "I liked this one because it looks more like an engagement ring." Inside was nestled a sapphire and diamond ring with 6 sapphires on the ring. The blue topaz has 5 stones.

The first thing I had to do was take pictures of each ring and send the pictures to my Mom & Dad. Mother was surprised and Daddy was happy. So now on my left hand, I have the two rings from last night and on my right is my Tony Stewart ring.

The rings keep in with our color scheme of the wedding. And both are so beautiful. Even as I write this, my eyes are leaking again.

I knew we were going to make our union legal, but I didn't expect two rings!
