R is for Rings!

I'm stealing R from Bree cause I thought it was cute!

I love my wedding rings! Adam would make me go ring shopping when we very first started dating. We found a gorgeous ring that we both loved but I had something specific in mind. I wanted something symetrical because I am so picky but I also wanted something unique. We found a design we liked and thought we'd buy that one but because I was going to Russia I didn't want anything too fancy so Adam bought a beautifully simple band with diamonds cirlcling it.

After I got back Adam and I went to White Diamonds. He had designed several rings that my mom liked and so she suggested him. we kind of laid out what we wanted- it was very similar to the design we fell in love with, with some minor changes- first it didn't stick out a hundred feet (those of you who know me know I'm a little clumsy with my hands so I might poke out my own eyeball) and it isn't quite tension setting (which scares me to death because I'd always be afraid it would fall out).

Adam's ring is very classy and sleek- not at all trendy which I love. I accidently kind of shoved it on his finger :/ and the sealer said "I hope you are more gentle with him in marriage" LOL

Anyway- I love my ring and I love looking at it and being reminded that Adam loves me!

Q is for Quotes

I love the English Language and I have a habbit of searching for good quotes from wise people, books, church articles etc. Sophomore year in High School I had a humanities class that exposed us to many beautiful things and one of them was a daily quote. Many of the following are from that class. I love finding a good quote. So here are a few quotes I love!

"A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval."

"Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is."

P is for Peter Pan

This weekend Adam and I flew to Utah to see Megan as the cutest Indian in Peter Pan! I've been so excited to see her in this play because I have missed out on her previous performances. I feel so guilty when I don't get to see Choir Concerts, Piano Recitles and Plays- especially since my sibs all came to everything I did- so I was SO GRATEFUL for the opportunity to go to see Peter Pan!
Weber High has always outdone themselves when it comes to theatrical productions. They always go above and beyond and they never disappoint- especially when they involve my sister ;) I think that perhaps it could have been better than professional theater as I believe Peter Pan should be seen played by high school kids who believe they will never grow up (they may think they will but they don't believe it).

I love Peter Pan sooo much. I think it is such a beautiful story! I love that everyone is so desperate for a mother. Interesting- since J.M. Barrie was raised by a mother so depressed by the death of his older brother David that she wasn't very present and in Peter Pan the theme is living in eternal youth with a loving mother who tells stories.
The play was just so amazing! I'll have to post pics later...I lifted them from Granma's blog...I actually cried at the end when Peter came for Wendy and she couldn't go because she was all grown up (Peter, I'm old- I'm more than twenty) it felt like the passing of the torch and I hadn't really remembered how it ended when I was a little girl. I guess I never thought I myself would grow up...
