Merry Early Christmas to me. I'm so thankful for such wonderful parents.
They picked me up from volunteering yesterday and started driving to the plaza...I asked "why are we here?" They said they needed to pick somethings up. I was cool with that, I enjoy the plaza. I knew we would get lunch out of it anyway.
We went to a shop so Mom could pick up some Christmas gifts then they said "We might as well go visit Armando while we are here" Armando owns a jewelry store in the plaza where my Mom got her fire opal. He has become a friend of ours now. When we went in the store Mom and Ed said "Merry Early Christmas...Armando knows the budget, pick what you want." I was so excited!
I really do love his work, however, a lot of the pieces he was showing me were not something I would wear or that suited me. I am picky when it comes to such nice jewelry, it makes me nervous sometimes. I was started to feel very nervous that I wouldn't find anything that suited me well enough.
Finally my eyes laid on this beauty. It has my name written all over it, it's so me. It is custom made by Armando, notice the detail? The stone is a polished ruby.
Now every time I look at it I can remember my time in Mexico, what I learned, and all of the things I have achieved while being here. I will remember the good I did with all of the volunteer work as well.
I love it so much, I never want to take it off. It is such a treasure to me.
Aw, that's so awesome of your parents and it definitely does seem to fit you! :)
