This morning

We let Emily open her gift from Steve and I this morning. I knew she would want to show it off on her actual birthday. A while back, she told me she wanted a "purity" ring. When I asked her what she meant by that, she said, it was a reminder, of a promise she was making to wait until she was married to have sex. YIKES. She is only 12! So, when discussing this with Steve, we came to the conclusion, that you can't really not get the ring. Uh, no honey, we don't think that's a good idea just doesn't fly. So, we spent a good part of our time off this weekend searching jewelry stores for the perfect ring for our beautiful girl. We decided on the emerald, as it is her birthstone. And judging from her face, I think we did good. :)

I'm afraid that whole Purity ring thing would be my fault! See, I mentioned something to her about them as something that she might want in the future but I geuss she wanted one now!
