My teenagers say I am helplessly uncool for even using the term "Bling", but there is no other way to adequately describe the gorgeous birthday/anniversary present DH bought me.   Let me first say that my husband is the BEST at picking presents and jewlery.  I think this is because I paid my dues in my first marriage - he was terrible.  I would either pick something out and tell him to buy it or buy something for myself, wrap it up and say "this is what you got me". 

When DH bought my engagement ring years ago, we both liked it, but didn't "love" it.  Me because it was yellow gold and just not really my style.  Him because it was a solitaire with a guard wrapped around it and I can't stand plain gold wedding bands so I just wore the solitare with the wrap.  Being a man, Dh didn't think it showed the world I am married.  Um, as if the 5 kids wouldn't tip someone off??? 

So we had decided that for our 10th anniversary he would get me a new wedding set.  October will only be 7 years for us.  DH is an attorney and a darn good one.....he had a big personal injury case come in and settle that was unexpected and last week asked me to stop in at our jewler so he could get an idea of what I like.  He picked out one set for me to try - white gold, channeled diamonds for the band and along the solitaire surrounding the stone.  Very beautiful and very traditional.  There was another set I asked to see (she hadn't show it to DH since it had just come in).  Also white gold, very pretty - smaller diamonds set along the band as well as the stone setting.  A very clean, modern look.  DH took my ring, had the diamond reset into the new set.  I told him I like both equally and he was to pick the one he wanted me to wear, knowing that if I picked the more expensive one I would feel guilty.  We picked up the ring yesterday and it is so gorgeous!!! He picked the more modern one and slipped later to tell me he liked it better, but it was the one that cost more.  Hey, what can I say, I have great taste!   So now, DD is jealous of the shine on my hand, I can't stop looking at it and twisting it to make it sparkle in the light and DH is happy I have a proper band on and look "married".  It's a happy ending for everyone!
