well, it’s not OUR pool boy (that’s me).
She is actually out of town this week in Dallas… tucked the card and ‘ring’ in her suitcase before she left. (see below)
@sillyheathen
she and my SIL are in Dallas watching our great niece/nephew while their parents are OOT for the week. She will fly back to ATL on Sat where I will pick them up and take them to SIL’s house. Leave the next AM (from ATL) at the ass-crack of dawn for a week long cruise on MSC to Costa Maya, Roatan and Cozumel from Galveston.
@sillyheathen
The great niece liked the ring but was very surprised that there wasn’t a real gem involved. Wife tried to explain jewelry is not really her thing but Lacey wouldn’t buy it. She’s truly a “girly girl”…
@chienfou I’m with your wife. I appreciate fine jewelry but I prefer quality over quantity. It’s never made sense to me why some people wear super ostentatious pieces. I would prefer a tricked out mini from the 60s with right hand drive that I could run around mountain roads in, than a giant rock on my hand. The ring you chose just makes me smile. My guess is it made her laugh and smile. Heart the two of you so much!
Happy Anniversary!
I hope the pool boy didn’t bring her anything fancier.

Bravo! Also congratulations! 49 is amazing. Hope y’all have a lovely dinner or do something fun to celebrate.

Love this and I hope she does as well!
Congratulations to you both
@tinamarie1974
yeah, couldn’t resist it when I saw it. Tucked it into her suitcase (see above)
Shucks, you should have splurged a little more and bought her a 3-Carrot Dime-In Ring!!
Maybe for #50 next year?? 
@MrGoodGuy
That would be a nice upgrade.
Congratulations!! It’s gonna be hard to top a 3 carrot ring next year for your 50th, though.
@mehcuda67 maybe a four carrot ring.
Cute and congratulations.
@Star2236
thanks… hard to believe she has put up with me this long!
Happy anniversary!
