Rings, Baby, and Jackie Kennedy

I have a love for all things Jacqueline Kennedy. She is probably the number one person on my list of celebrities/people that I look up to for poise, class, fashion, and style. I may have to do a post on on my top ten ladies. There is a jewelry line that reproduces all of Jackie's ever famous jewelry. I have one piece. A beautiful black, gold, and diamond watch that is an absolute treasure to me. It was lovingly given to me one Christmas by my mother-in-law. I hadn't even known she knew my love for Jackie! I would love to own more pieces of the jewelry. Even though they are reproductions, they are certified reproductions and they are beautiful. There is one that I have my eye on at the moment. I have told my sweet husband that this would be the perfect "you're having my baby" gift. It's a Simulated Kunzite Ring and it's pink!

All details aside, it looks like this pregnant girl had some low blood and electrolyte levels and more than likely the mild heart condition that I have was acting up as well. They took great care of me during my time there. I only work weekends, so I have spent the past week trying to be calm, still, rested, and quiet so that I will be ready to go back this weekend. Very hard for me to do. During this time, I have been talking a lot to God and listening to some of my favorite Bible teachers, and really listening. I wonder if God helped me to my knees (literally) to remind me that I need to spend more quality time with Him. I cried myself to sleep last night thinking of my boy going back to school in a few weeks. I'v
