Looks great!Another mom from dd’s team came over to help with ironing on the vinyl cut outs I made yesterday. I mastered bordering letters. I just want to keep making more cutouts. It is addicting!Here is a sample.

I (she) put mine on at our wedding and never took it off again until we were officially divorced 29 years later. That said, however, that is a personal decision and not the business of anyone else. I can tell you what wearing it that long did do.... I have a noticeable indentation in my finger where the ring was located and it has been off my finger now for 19 years.
A number of years after they were married my father was able to spend a large amount of money for a new Diamond studded ring for my mother. After he died she was cleaning the bathroom and took her ring off and wrapped it in some tissue. After she was done she collected the trash from the bathroom and apparently picked up the tissue and accidentally threw it away. By the time she realized what she had done, the trash had been picked up and it was gone forever. She never expressed many things that she regretted, but, that was the one that she talked about. It broke her heart that it was gone. After that she made sure the there would only be one location where she would remove any jewelry in the future. It was no place near any trash baskets and was never wrapped up with anything.
This Dec. will be our 20th anniversary. I guess years ago we both felt it was more comfortable at home without a ring on. @MinnieM123 said something similar I believe. We proudly wear our rings out in public so everyone knows "we are taken". We have no need to wear them at home. We don't need to wear a ring to let each other know we still love each other.
I never thought of it as a public display of anything, to me it was always a sign of commitment between us. It was when my wife started to not wear it that I knew the end was near. The commitment was gone and soon so was our marriage, but, that is an individual story not necessarily the reason or implication that it holds for others.
Well I completely understand. I hope this topic has not caused you any sadness.
Long time ago, in a land far, far away. Just part of life, not to be mourned or necessarily celebrated, it just was!
The price difference between AOA isnt worth over the POP and similars, right?
Right. And they have fewer Little Mermaid rooms (standard rooms) over the suites, so they tend to run higher.
Yuck and we get it tomorrow night and Friday.
And, the power just went out for a second, but, it was long enough to take down our computers...glad I’ve been savin’ my CAD file every minute or so...!!!
