Today is my 21st wedding anniversary. 11 yrs ago my husband asked me what I wanted for my anniversary and I offhandedly said "oh a tennis bracelet would be nice" But I never in a million yrs thought I would get one because at the time money was pretty tight. Well, much to my surprise and delight he did buy me a tennis bracelet for my anniversary but to my shame I couldn't wear it. He didn't even think to check the size of the bracelet and unfortunately it was just way to small. We went to the jewelers to see what they could do for us but all they said is we could try and match it and make a link but it was going to be more expensive then what the bracelet was worth! So I told my husband "don't worry about it I will lose the weight and be able to wear the bracelet" Well, every so often I would take the bracelet out and look at it and every year I would try to fit it on my wrist but it never did fit ......til today! I finally lost enough weight I can wear my bracelet! I can't even tell u how happy I am! It was a long time coming but finally I did it!!!
