January 23rd, 2011 (Day 23)
I had an unusual thing happen to me today. I inherited an engagement ring that was one of my great great aunt's. She died when I was around 5 years old and left me this ring in her will. She had one son and he never married. There were no female heirs in her family to inherit this engagement ring. Her husband's name was Andy, and I guess she always thought that I was named after him? I'm not really sure. I asked both of my parents and neither one of them had ever even put the connection together that I could be named after him!
So, here is my engagement ring. My grandma told me to keep it for the diamonds and have them set into something I actually like one day. I'd feel bad ruining her beloved engagement ring. It's probably from the 1930s! Crazy.
