This is a little embarrassing to admit, but I was looking through old blog posts tonight (yep, got some time on my hands after the tots are sleeping!) and I came across this gem. I couldn't help but notice the view counter said it had ZERO views. Does this mean no one has ever seen these pictures from when we were engaged and made each other's wedding rings? Even if you have seen them and the view counter is wrong, I thought we all might enjoy a visit to when we were babies!
Remember, when Paul asked me to marry him, he said he was sorry he didn't have a ring. He had just returned from his mission 1 week prior, so of course he didn't have a ring! I told him I wouldn't have said yes if he did. And then I told him I wanted us to make our wedding rings, even though neither of us had the slightest idea how. So we did. This boy is still making my dreams come true seven and a half years and two babies later.
Our rings are now a little dented and smudged up. We almost lost Paul's in the hospital in Grand Junction when he had his head injury. I had to not wear mine for a lot of my pregnancy (because I was so swollen) and had to be really careful this year (because my fingers got so skinny with my allergy eating for my breastfeeding babies). But we still have them. (Knock on wood.) While I definitely would NOT say that our love is dented and smudged up, it is much much different than it was when we made these rings. Thank goodness. It's thicker. It's sounder. It's more than I ever could have imagined. It's been a few years, but I feel like we're at a new beginning in our life now, with these babies around. I can't wait to live more and more years with Paul, with lots of new beginnings. And even when we lose these rings, we'll have each other.

I've seen them before. They're lovely.
(I really do deserve that award).
This is lovely! (And reaffirms that I'd like to grow up to be as cool as you).

I remember these pictures, so I've seen them also! But great to be reminded of them and look back now and then.
This post makes me miss you so much. If only to be snowed in with you guys, baking bread, sipping tea, and having a nice long visit. Wouldn't that just be the loveliest?
