I {heart} My Pearls

I received the last present from both of my Grandparents a month ago.  Turns out Gramps & Grams were doing some shopping in the mall and walked past a jewelry store.  They always walked past jewelry stores and bought Roomie & I something from them.  This time though, Gramps picked out something for Roomie & I for Valentines Day.  I didn’t know what to expect when I opened it, Gramps & Grams were always thinking of their Grandkids.

Surprise?  What’s inside?  I didn’t know what to expect.  But, I soon found out it was something I really wanted for Christmas.  Something I didn’t get myself because I could find the perfect set that looked great on me.

Oh how I adore Pearls.  I completely fell in love with these pearls as soon as I opened them.  They fit perfectly, weren’t too little or too big.  They were the right length and fell just below my collar bone.  I was in awe.  I will always treasure these.  Because it’s the gift my Gramps picked out and the last gift from him.  I even wore them to his funeral on Tuesday.  Grams was the first to comment on them and then had to tell everyone that I was wearing the Pearls Gramps picked out.  Actually I took Roomie’s Pearl earrings because I have double pierced ears, which Grams never knew.  She even asked when I did that and I said my first year of college, but then I got in lots of trouble.  Grams said she wished she would’ve double pierced hers, just never did.
