Wow, it’s really hard to believe Justin and I have already been engaged for a whole year!
Justin surprised me today with a pair of earrings to mark the occasion (What a sweetheart!). They’re not any old earrings, either. They’re Swarovski earrings that perfectly match my engagement ring. Super awesome!
Maybe we’ll actually plan a wedding… one of these days…
