13th Anniversary!!!

new wedding band

After 13 years of marital bliss (with a bunch of chaos intermixed) trkee and I have new wedding bands!!! Of course, we can only admire each others' rings by long distance at the moment as duty calls--so here's a picture of mine so he can see how it looks. It's really beautiful--simple, rugged, sturdy and titanium which possesses some cool qualities. It feels incredible when you rub it between your fingers--smooth like butter! Strong yet featherlight! It also makes a really interesting 'bell ring' sound when it drops onto hard surfaces--ask trkr about how we learned that tidbit of info. ;)

Awesome Ring!!!

I love it!!! I love it!!! I love it!!!

Anyway, the story 'behind' the new rings is that trkee's original wedding band cracked and needed either to be repaired or replaced. We thought it would be neat to actually get matching wedding bands (since we actually married eachother)--hence, these new matching rings. Okay, so it took awhile to actually go through with the idea. It was about 2 years ago when we decided to look into getting new rings--when his original ring just started to crack. Fast forward some 2 years, thousands of miles of separation, the occasional awesome opportunity to visit with him again and you now see half of the results: these cool rings! They were custom made by an artist in Georgia--Boone Titanium Rings If you're in the market for custom made titanium items, we highly recommend this company--mom and pop business that not only custom made our rings but had them in the mail, priority, to us within 12 hours of placing the order. Awesome service, awesome product! A great analogy to symbolize our 13 year marriage which has stood firm despite many external and occasionally unbearable trials and tribulations along the way.

Trkee--I thank God daily that He placed you in my life some 15 years ago. I thank you for these past awesome 13 years of marriage and two beautiful children! I also thank you for your dedication to God, country, your family, friends and the people for whom you work so selflessly, without recognition or thanks, and your unceasing devotion to the ideals of freedom! May God continue to bless you and our marriage in the future!!! I love you!!! dvn2r ckr
