The Girl dreams of Hawaii some day and The Boy dreams of a Harley some day. This ring came out of the Harley fund and that wasn't so easy for him.

So I couldn't resist. I got him this pin with rhinestones in it and put a note on it that said, "Because you deserve a little bling, too, to tide you over until you can replenish your fund." He followed my instructions and didn't open it until after the ring had been presented, and they both got a big laugh out of it.



Hadley you ROCK! That's all I can say.

Here's a FUN update for everyone who watched this thread and got invested in my friends' 25th anniversary ring.....

Since their anniversary two weeks ago, two huge things have happened for them out of the blue.

1) The Boy got a new job with training to move up into the position he's wanted for about ten years, plus a whopping raise.

2) The Girl just found out today that she was voted "employee of the year" at the hospital where she is a nursing assistant, out of 1,000 peers in her category of nursing support staff.

I'd like to think it's all because they're both shining from the inside with Amora Fever and it's spreading all around them. Yeah, let's go with that.
