Sadly as much as I would like to be I do not have that awesome sanguine personality! In fact when I meet new people my mind just starts realing for things to say...it just doesn't come naturally! Amazingly most of my bff's are pure sanguine!

So glad you found your ring that must have been so exciting! I have a ring that I lost (I know it was really stolen) I won't even say which one it was...too awful to confess!!

Blessings,
Suzi

Aww - my husband went to A&M for grad school and was an Aggie for two years. I just love all of those Aggie traditions! Your post made me a little "home"sick for College Station. Glad you found your ring!

Glad you found "The Precious"!

My friend got her aggie ring one day, then got engaged the next day! Talk about excitement and a handful of rings to drool over. :)

And yes, the compassions posts have been fabulous!

I'm so glad you found your ring! And I thought you were very gracious when we met - you looked at my name tag and saw where I was from and asked about my trip. You drew me right into a very comfortable conversation. Not one bit awkward at all.
You were taller in person than on the computer though - tee hee!

I love the traditions of different universities. I took my oldest daughter to the Auburn game this past weekend and took her to my dorm, rolling Toomer's Corner, etc. It was awesome and, even though she's only 7, I can't wait for her to be a student there!
I have also seen some pictures of people when they get their Aggie Ring. They are all doing the "thumbs up." What does that mean? Is it significant somehow?
Oh, I know so many people who take off their jewelry as soon as they get home - I am totally opposite. I haven't taken off my wedding/engagement rings in almost 12 years. I wear them constantly. I also wear an emerald ring (my oldest daughter's birthstone) that my husband gave me for my 1st Mother's Day. I never take it off, either. I will only take it off at her wedding when the ring becomes hers.
Glad you found your rings!

So glad you found your ring! Although...something from Tiffany's would be nice!

2008-11-10T11:02:00.000-05:00

Oh yes, I know all about the aggie ring obsession. They are EVERYWHERE in Houston and definitely can get you some connections! :)

Saw you at church yesterday... you looked radiant!

Amanda,
I lost my mother's wedding pictures once and was sick about it (I had taken them from her house - without her knowledge - to surprise her by putting them in a scrapbook/album.) Anyway, I searched and searched and prayed and prayed and when I finally gave up, I found them a few weeks later underneath my bed - still don't know how they got there! Needless to say my joy was unspeakable....reminds me of the parable of the lost coin in the Bible.
Glad you found your ring!!
Blessings,
Janet
P.S...BTW, do you know of any reason why my comments will no longer post on the LPM blog? I used to be able to, but the last few times I get an e-mail back saying: "failed permanently." I haven't changed anything or done anything different so I can't figure it out???? Any clues????
Thanks!

2008-11-09T21:55:00.000-05:00

Do you think my grandmother's ring that I lost about ten years ago is in that suitcase? Because that would be sixteen kinds of awesome. :-)

So glad you found it! And "amen" to what you said about the Compassion trip. Phenomenal to read about all of their adventures.

2008-11-09T21:41:00.000-05:00

Hey Little Momma:)

I didn't know that Texas A&M did that...I went to UT and the best thing they ever did for us was give us football tickets:)~(Now, the students have to pay for them)
That's a thrill to find lost things that you love:)...Little Momma, you sacrificed your itsy waist for a good cause i think:)...Big Mama's post was very moving, I have heard of Compassion, and I have wanted to sponsor a child. I'm still working on my husband saying yes, though:) I may just have to try again soon, perhaps show him that post...:) Have a great day too, Little Momma:)

A good friend of ours is an Aggie and still wears his ring. He's told us of the many traditions at Texas A&M so it was funny to read this post. I'm so glad you found your ring and will not have to be counted as a two-percenter...Whoop!

2008-11-09T21:13:00.000-05:00

I also always take my jewelry off when I get home...so this weekend when we met Michelle's Phi Lamb girls, I didn't have it on. I felt bad because they were SO excited to see Joe's (husband)or any Aggie's outside of CS.

Congrats on the baby girl- Michelle hadn't mentioned you were pregnant- and I can't believe how close we are! I am sure you are enjoying all that sweet movement right now like I am.

I'm SO happy your found your "lost coins!!!"

You may know I am an Aggie grad, as well as my Chris. But because we married young and I transferred from UT to A&M, I actually had 132 hours when I graduated--yuk! Ahem. Anyway, I had a James Avery UT dangle ring (by the way I love to say dangle, dangle, dangle) and when I transferred to A&M, I felt the pressure and didn't wear it. Chris bought me an A&M dangle ring. (Of course he has a big, honkin' Aggie ring that he wears every single day.) When we moved to CO, I lost the dangle to the ring, then I found the dangle and lost the ring itself. THEN! I bought a new ring and lost the dangle. Dang.

So in San Antonio this summer, I made a special trip to James Avery to try and replace my dang dangle. They had an A&M dangle the size of three of my knuckles, so I ended up getting a heart. And that's the whole dangle story...

PS This Aggie would love to have you come stay in Colorado!

2008-11-09T17:27:00.000-05:00

Whooo hoo! Congrats on finding both rings! I have a similar story of losing my HS ring and finding it years later. It's almost like a piece of you is missing when something special like a HS/College ring is missing. Or a special ring given by a special someone. Isn't it neat that God knows the exact time we'll find what we've lost and is there to celebrate with us!

2008-11-09T15:46:00.000-05:00

I had a similiar experience with my engagement ring. To make a long story short, my engagement ring was lost the Christmas my younger daughter was nine months old and stayed lost for thirteen years. I found it in a jewelry pouch among some baby clothes that had been put in the attic and survived storage and a move to a new house. I had felt horrible, as you can imagine, not only for losing my engagement ring but the stone was from the engagement ring of my husband's mother who had passed away before we met. I have a wonderful husband who never onced fussed or complained about me losing the ring.

I am glad that you found your ring.

2008-11-09T09:54:00.000-05:00

Yay I'm so glad you found it! I love the whole ring dunking thing. I just attended my last college home football game :(... You definitely didn't seem awkward to me when I met you. I enjoyed meeting you!... guess I better go get finished getting ready for church!

2008-11-08T22:56:00.000-05:00

Hi Amanda! I introduced myself to you in the Target parking lot - I'm not very good at it either... But it was nice to meet you. Now that I've had my baby three weeks ago, I sadly still can't fit my Aggie Ring back on my finger. However, my hubs surprised me with putting a diamond in the shield while it was off my oh-so-swollen fingers. Hopefully I can wear it soon!

2008-11-08T22:27:00.000-05:00

I'm SO laughing at your title.

Do you think Gollum was an Aggie?

(Congrats on finding the goods. I hate that feeling, when you know something IS in the house, but you cannot find it for the life of you.)

2008-11-08T22:04:00.000-05:00

First, I'm going to give you a big WHOOP! on finding your Aggie ring.

Also, thanks for the link to the Compassion posts. It was an incredible trip. Maybe one of these days we can go on one together.

2008-11-08T19:19:00.000-05:00

I am so glad you found your ring! I am introverted to a fault, so I understand about the social awkwardness. OH- and I also take off my wedding ring and other jewelry as soon as I hit the door!!!!

2008-11-08T15:20:00.000-05:00

Amanda, I totally know now why I feel so comfortable commenting on your blog. I'm SO not an outgoing person, and I, too, feel completely awkward in social situations. Which makes it even more unreal that I was a high school teacher before having my first child. What in the world was I thinking???

Your ring story reminded me of my own. I lost my high school class ring. It was missing for over two years. It occurred to me to pray one day for help in finding it. I was cleaning out my room that particular day, and there it was, on my bedroom floor. It had falled out of a garbage bag that housed stuffed animals in my closet. For two solid years at least, the thing was missing, nowhere to be found, and then the very day I prayed to find it, there it was. Right in plain sight. God is so good.

Isn't it like Christmas or your birthday when you find something dear that's been lost? I hope after Baby Girl is born and rings aren't so uncomfortable, that you once again get to wear your Aggie and opal rings with pride. :)

Love and blessings,
Lisa
