Umm...no. I am not engaged. No where close to being engaged or having children...so those of you that have wedding or baby fever, rest your hearts. It's okay, it's just my class ring!
When I was in college, I didn't have much extra cash laying around. I worked as an RA in the dorms for 3 years to pay for housing, meals, and gas. Then, I paid for tuition in student loans. I didn't get a high school class ring because I really had no desire for one. I went to two different high schools and loved both, but had plenty of other things that reminded me of all the fun times and opportunities I had.
When I got out of college, I moved a couple of times and was trying to figure out life. In August of 2013, I decided to finally purchase a class ring. I knew which one I wanted and was ready to make the commitment.
So, during my lunch hour I drove over to North Carolina State University, walked to the university bookstore, tried on a sample and placed my order. The class ring ceremony was scheduled on a Sunday afternoon in December, but I was unable to attend due to work travel. I waited and waited for it to be shipped and I finally got it after Christmas. It was one of the best Christmas presents I could have ever given myself!
