5. No. It just happened that way.

6. Yes, we were almost saved (unbeknownst to us) at a concert and MrG conquered a mechanical bull. How can one possibly have more fun than that?

also what concert was this?

The concert thing is a very funny story. A friend of MrG's told us that we should "come and check out his son's band". They were playing at a new "club" called "The District". I should have looked at the tickets and logged onto the website because it was a division of Mt. Zion church...a Christian outreach thing. We've been joking that we might possibly not have been saved because we couldn't understand a word of the music. It was very Nirvana/GunsNRoses meets church. :rofl:

was, until the Pastor's video came on. It was very nightclubby, just no alcohol. And I fear the stamp won't come off my hand.

:hi:

1. Whats your favorite fruit/s? Hard to say, because I love all kinds of fruit, but it's a tossup between fresh pineapple and mango. :9

2. My wife is my best friend, so 12 years coming up on the 15th.

3. The diamond.

4. My wedding ring; although my anniversary gift from my wife last year was a diamond pinkie ring. She says it makes me look "cool and sophisticated". Nonsense. There is nothing in the world that could make me look cool and sophisticated. :+

5. Well, the last girl I dated before meeting my wife I still see now and then. We're on friendly terms, but nothing closer than that. She dumped me in a pretty callous way, and has had an endless stream of unrewarding relationships ever since. My wife says that's justice. I just think it's sad.

She had a baby recently and has been doing some other stuff so I guess she's not making as much jewelry.

My necklace is a vintage illustration of a bee inside a tiny silver round shadowbox with a glass dome. There is another metal piece that dangles off the bottom that says "buzz" in tiny little letters.

We want her to make our new wedding bands for us. We want them in platinum with text around it. Mine's going to say "I am the luckiest" but my husband doesn't know what he wants his to say. I think you can see a tiny picture of some of her rings on the home page.
