my heart dropped for a sec

I remembered that I was wearing my ring. :( I got really sad for sec. I was really worried that I had lost it even though I knew exactly where it was and why I wasn't wearing. My fingers swell up during the summer... I hate not being able to wear my ring. In my frantic search to honor my Erick, I was thinking to my self... "please fit! please fit!" I was praying and just hoping that it would fit. I slipped it on to my ring finger... and it fit better than ever before. I put it on with the hearts pointing left as I always do. Its to honor Erick's enscription. "G29" which basically means that he is willing to work and wait for our perfect time to be married. He loves me so much that he will do what ever it takes to make it perfect. "G29" comes from this love that Jacob had for Rachel that even though he was working for seven years... it didn't feel like that long because he loved her so much and it was all worth it.
When I found out what Erick meant by his enscription... it means more to me than anything... more than the ring itself.
I suppose this is yet another random thought of mine. I'm chilling here... getting ready to go to bed. I just thought I would remember the day he gave it to me... and the day he hinted to me that he bought me something big. I wish I still knew where the ring certificate was. I'm pretty sure this is a really expensive ring. Atleast, from what I can tell from my jeweler training... and by how much it cost... and from what I remember being on the certificate.
Time is moving by pretty quickly. I was worried that it be so long before I could finally get married. Its not really that long. We are already coming up on the 2 year mark. That seems so quick. It doesn't even seem that long ago since we were first falling for each other like 3 years ago. The day I realized I loved him and wanted to spend the rest of my life with him was 2 years ago. It took me a long time to realize that I didn't need a guy who had dated... and I didn't need a guy who had kissed someone before... I need a Godly man who could love me just as God loves him. That's the whole point. Maturing takes a bit... but, in the end it worked out.
So this is my soaking into God's pressence... I'm sitting here listening to Shawn McDonald... and I'm thinking about this plan God has for me. I know there is something... I'm starting to be reminded of my abilities and gifts. I need to soak into him more so I will be prepared for a wild school year. This is basically my senior year. How crazy is that? I hope to get a decent job after that... I hope to have my OWN apartment and my be engaged in a year... or less :) I'll be done with this portion of my life. I really need to think about that. I really need to begin preparing myself. I need to warm up to the fact of life on my own with no parents.
This is turning into a long blog. I just meant to talk about my ring... and, basically talk to myself about how important and amazing it is that it fits. :) I tangented off... that's ok!
Well, I'm going to go. The cats are restless. "Cattus Turbitus".
I'll be back tomorrow. Same time... Same place!
