That first time he gave me jewelry... (+ a giveaway)

...just 24 days ago.

No, really.

I've been dating this man for almost a year and a half and have never received any jewelry.

Not like I was complaining or anything, I just chalked it up to him not being a jewelry kind of guy.

No big deal. End of story.

{Flowers on the other hand? Now that he's got down pat.}

But then, he did something quite surprising.

You see, 24 days ago, was the day we left the U.S. to embark on these wonderful world travels of ours.

We were on the plane, I think flying from Atlanta to our layover in Newark, and I got up to use the restroom.

When I got back to my seat, he had this cute little serious look on his face.

Then, I noticed this pretty little blue box in the seat pocket in front of me with this sparkly gold ribbon.

He told me that while he was in San Francisco a few weeks before, he found this little jewelry store that had one-of-a-kind pieces made by artists from around the world and that he wanted to get me something special to signify the beginning of this new chapter of ours.

Well, well...quite the romantic we got here, eh?

I love them. 

But mostly, I love that he spent several hours in that store looking for the perfect thing to get me and on top of that, managed to keep it a surprise.

A surprise, people! 

I'm the queen of ruining surprises, if you didn't know.

So kudos to you, Boo. I'm very impressed with you, you sneaky little devil, you. ;)

So anyway, that's my story.

And speaking of jewelry, I have a fun little surprise for you.

Diane, who has her own Etsy shop where she makes handmade jewelry and accessories has so graciously offered to give away a $20 shop credit to one lucky reader!

Perfect timing for the holidays, if I don't say so myself!
