My birthday present

We went to the Hospice charity event "Steak, Rattle, and Roll" Saturday night at the Expo Center with some of our friends. We had a BLAST!!! It was really affordable ($60 a ticket- which is really good for a charity event), and they had lots of stuff for silent bidding and then a live auction for stuff, and then had a Casino set up so you could play Black Jack (what we did all night!), Poker, Roulette, and Craps.

Well, I made the comment to Matt that I liked the earrings that Douglas Jewelers had donated for the live auction. They were white gold loops with diamonds all over them- a total of 1 carat on both diamonds (.5 carats on each one.) Well, they were beautiful, and the original suggested retail price was $2300.

The live auction started and Matt bid on them and won them!!!! He got a good deal for them (especially since everything goes to a charity so it's tax deductible! LOL) and absolutely beautiful!!!

I am so excited!!!!!! :-) Here's a picture of them:



HOWEVER, I was going to put them on the night I got them, and the clasp of one of the earrings doesn't work! So, I told them about it right then and there, they wrote a note, and I'm going to take them in tomorrow for Douglas Jewelers to fix it (I called them today too). And then, last night Matt and I were looking at them again, and one of them is missing a diamond! (It's the one on the left in the picture- the very bottom on the front) so I told them about that too. The guy I talked to said he can't promise anything on that though, because the owner will have to decide. It's just aggrevating, ya know?!?! (But they are still really beautiful! LOL)

I love my husband!

(And he and the boys got me these flowers for Valentines Day. They got them the Sunday before hand, but it was the thought that counted, right!??!? Jace picked out all of the colorful flowers, and Kelton got me the white ones.)
