Birthday and Beyond

So, my birthday evening was great. The day-not so much. Oh well. I worked during the day and made money and left early. Then, I got ready to go to dinner with Josh. We went to the Olive Garden (one of our favorites + Josh had a gift card for it) and each ordered amazing dinners. We each only ate half and took the other half home. Breadsticks and salad were amazing as usual. So, on to the good part... On the way back to Josh's I am just dying to know what he got me. It was like 20 questions and only one answer. "You have to wait and see." The more I ask the longer he says he's going to make me wait to open my gift. Of course, I keep asking questions and then beg to have the time moved up. So, as we pull into his driveway he says "Wait until 10 and you can open it." And I argue back and say "9!" Then he is like, "Okay, 9 but you have to promise you won't open it until 9 or when I say you can open it." So I'm thinking "Fine, whatever..." But no...He had to be a butt about it and purposely leave the stinking bag out on the table right next to where I always put my purse. Yeah... So I see it and of course am thinking "You have got to be kidding me!" I made this promise not to open it and he just had to do that. Apparently I was able to successfully hide every emotion going through my body at that time, because Josh didn't pick up on it. He thought I didn't realize. So, he walks back to his room for something, I don't know, and his mom asks me "Did you see what was on the table?" and the conversation goes on. Josh comes back in and I let my emotions show on purpose. He continues to be a brat and act all innocent like he doesn't have a clue. After going back and forth he decides to let me open it. So we sit down by the table and I open this bag with "Zales" written on it. Out comes this little black box. I'm excited but don't want to rip it apart... So, I open this little black box and find:



So there's my story! I had an amazing birthday with someone I love and just happened to get a beautiful gift from him. If he actually read this, I would say thank you.
