So Adam and I have been together forever. Well, since before we could drive which kind of gives you an idea of how long. For his 16th birthday I gave him two things (no, not naughty things~geesh!). I gave him a necklace and my class ring. That man has kept that necklace and ring around his neck since that very day, removing it only once to have it repaired when our nephew David accidentally grabbed it when rough-housing around and breaking it.

He’s been worried lately though that they are thinning. Not only are there several areas on the necklace that are thinning to the point that he is concerned could give way but on the inside of my ring where it hangs 24/7 is VERY VERY thin. You can see in the picture how thin it has gotten over the past 17 years (yikes~hated to type that number!).

So he took it off for now. We are on the quest for a new necklace and I am going to see if a jeweler can beef up the inside of my ring a bit…hopefully fairly quickly as he says he feels naked without it. Plus, it stakes my claim to him!
