10 years

I have officially been with the love of my life for 10 WHOLE YEARS!  1/3 of my entire time on this earth has been spent in the arms of the most amazing man.  Last week we celebrated a decade together and one year of marriage.  We took a day trip to Half Moon Bay for a kitschy seafood lunch, waterfront drinks and bocce at the Ritz Carlton and (surprisingly) some sunshine on the usually foggy coast.

I also presented him with this ring that I have been "working on" for years now.  That really translates into not having enough time to work on personal projects after putting in endless hours making jewelry for clients.  But, I finally made time for the most important fellow in my life and am so happy with the results.  Scott is a boat captain and spends his days on the San Francisco Bay.  I created a wave texture on the band in 14k white gold, and then tube set 10 diamonds in 18k yellow gold which are reminiscent of the portholes on a ship and represent our time together.

To see our love change and grow over the years has been the most amazing experience.  To know someone for more than half of their life (we met in middle school) and watch how they develop as person is really something else.  Here's to taking time for the things that really matter in life.
