if you guys remember on my "we are engaged" post, we opted out of an engagement ring since we just got back from a 9 month trip to the philippines and couldn't really justify the expense. in lieu of the traditional rock i've been sporting my grandmother's gorgeous ivory carved buddha ring but the setting has been difficult to wear around the baby. last week curtis surprised me with something to soothe my old skool conscience. he brought home my second blue box ever! (blue box = tiffany's in case that needed some explanation). inside were matching bands for us to wear. sigh. it was the bestest sweetest present. the rings are squarish but a little twisted. it's just like us! non-traditional. i wear it with pride on my right hand coz in the philippines, that's where the wedding ring goes and that's how i roll.
my first mother's day started out well already and quickly followed up with a gorgeous pitcher full of tulips from kaya. i think she kept crying till my sister bought them for me. and all that... made me cry too.
kaya chillin w her dad and uncles to watch the laker game.
