a while back i told my mom that i loved the gemstone, peridot. green is my favorite color so of course it would be likely that it's one of my favorite stones. i hadn't told anyone else so you can imagine my surprise and happiness whenever Chris finally gave me the mystery gift last night... mom didn't tell him, he's just that awesome. i guessed it to be a necklace, and i knew for sure whenever i got the Tiffany's box. it wasn't small like a normal ring box, so i laughed in his face in the i told you so kinda way. i seriously was so shocked when i opened it because we had even discussed how i knew it wouldn't be a ring and blahblahblah. i feel like such a dork now. i was so cocky about it, but now i'm oh so happy it wasn't a necklace! i love my new peridot ring :). it's perfect. i'll post pics of mine soon. -Holly
