I know...this is NOT a picture of me...however, it is a picture of something that is a huge part of me. I was asked to be a pretend bride at a bridal convention today. No, I didn't get to dress up in a wedding dress or anything fancy like that, I was more less a seat filler and I got to bring a friend. So Nona came with me and was my pretend bridesmaid. We were asked who the bride was, which was me...haha...and was asked a couple of questions like, "what's your wedding date, where are you getting married...have you found your dress" and the one that I was somewhat dreading, becaue I dont' like to lie, was "how did he propose?". I totally stole my story and told how my brother actually proposed to my sister in law on Christmas Eve years ago. I was even on the VIP list, had free lunch, Champange and got a goody bag (which had arousal cream in it...I thought that was funny...and yes I'm saving it...hahaha). Anyways, most of you know how much I want to be married and how long to have my husband with me. I'm very sure of what I want and cut people off when they try to set me up with someone or mention anything along those lines. And today I felt a little silly but it gave me a chance to really speak out my dreams of my wedding because I am typical girl and have been planning this blessed event since I came out of the womb. So when I was thinking about my picture for the day this was the first one that came to mind. I actually took this yesterday at the Davenport Hotel. And it's my purity ring. My parents gave it to me when I was 14 years old and I haven't been without since. Before you ask...yes...I wear it on my actual ring finger. On a side note, it doesn't matter what finger it's one or even if you have one. For me though I'm very firm on my stance with having it on my ring finger. I get lectured a lot about how a guy won't ask me out because he'll see that and think I'm married. I dont' really care what other people think about it for two reasons: 1. I'm not someone who wants to date a bunch of guys...and 2. having that ring on my ring finger will not stop the man I'm supposed to be with ask me out on a date. So enough venting on that subject...I chose this picture because it's a symbol of my waiting for my husband. It's not just a stance on waiting to have sex, but how I'm actually waiting for my husband...my love...my best friend...It has evolved from a purity ring to a "Honey, I'm saving my heart for you" ring. I have no idea what the next 363 days hold for me or my future, but I know that I'm one day closer to meeting my husband and I will continue to wear that ring and wait. And someday, I'll take a picture with two rings and post that!
