Reunited and it Feels so Good

I had anxiously been awaiting the knock of the FedEx man at the door all morning. To take you back a bit, I had been procrastinating at getting my ring sized properly for the second time because I didn't want to have to part with her again. While I was home over Christmas, BFF Kiki sized me up properly and we decided that I was not indeed a size 6 but in between a size 5.5 and a 5.25. Due to my slightly oversized knuckle on my ring finger this posed as sort of a problem. I left my ring with Kiki over the New Year to have her folks size the ring.

Kiki called me at work that next Wednesday and said she had spoken with her people and they suggested that since I was in between sizes to add the little beads to the inside of the ring. I was a bit apprehensive about this method as I was just a little afraid to toy with the ring but I had agreed as I had heard similar positive reviews of the beads.

As I laid awake in bed this morning I was fearful that I would receive the ring and I wouldn't be able to get it over my knuckle. Around 10 am the knock on the door came and Groomzilla and I double teamed the multiple FedEx packaged ring (thanks Kiki for safe keeping). Finally we produced the ring in a white envelope signed with love by Kiki. I slipped the ring over my knuckle with just a little challenge and it slid safely over onto the base of my ring finger. Groomzilla and I both sighed a sigh of relief.

The beads are definitely something I will have to get used to and hope as I wear the ring they will soften up a bit because they seem to pinch my skin a little. I think now I can finally rest easy knowing the ring wont slip off my finger never to be found again. See pics below of the beads for all of you who have never seen them before!
