Jeff says he hates shopping for me and he hates Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day... pretty much anything that he might have to buy something for.  I have always bragged about my wedding ring and the fact that he picked it out and bought it for me without me looking at it.  I love it.  He always does a good job when buying things for me, even if he says he hates it.  Well, we were in Salt Lake for the hockey game and were wasting time before we had to be there.  We went to the mall and were running around letting the boys get some energy out.  I always have to look at the jewelry stores, just because I like sparkles..  I found this ring and told Jeff that I had found the closest thing to my wedding ring, but bigger.  He said it was my ring on steroids.  I had the guy get it out and let me look at it, put it on and fell in love with it.  It is gorgeous!!  Jeff took off with the boys while I was talking to the salesman, let them play on some of the little car things, Connor was in a train and he didn't like it.. haha.  I went back and looked at the ring a couple times, trying to talk myself out of it, but I couldn't do it.  I finally gave it back to the guy and he put it away.  I went and found Jeff and the boys.  Jeff asked me if I wanted it.  I told him I really liked it and would definately wear it if he bought it... He said, that's not what I asked.  Do you want it?  I gave in and said yes.  Lucky for me it was on sale and then had an extra 70% off.  He asked me if it could count for Valentine's Day.  I told him he wouldn't have to buy me anything else for the rest of the year.  I have issues with spending money on myself or asking anyone else to, either.  I did have to wait for 2 weeks to be able to wear it, and Jeff kept telling me he suspected I was getting it out and wearing it while he was at work (which I swear I never did).  On the night of the 13th, we went to a dance/dinner that is sort of a tradition for us.  He gave me the ring before we went so I could wear it.  He also made sure I showed everyone and bragged about it a little....  haha
