Dave and I spent a "Dave and Darah Day" in Helen, GA (northern Georgia) on March 27, 2010. We hiked to a waterfall, walked the touristy "downtown" Helen, and then went engagement ring shopping on the way home. :o)
You know what?? I'm pretty sure I blogged about this already. Oh, yes! Click here to refresh your memory for the significance of the charm bracelet.
Let me explain what each charm is for, starting with the hearts on the top-right.
double, joined hearts - This charm, and tons of identical charms, were used as part of the decorations at our wedding.
LSU - A few weeks before our wedding, Dave drove with Tamara and I to LSU in Baton Rouge, LA to pick up Bryan's stuff and bring it home for the summer. What a great guy!
Liberty Bell - this was purchased on our trip to Philadelphia, PA a few months after we were married.
Pinecone - this is the original charm that was purchased on our first Dave & Darah Day.
Grand Piano - Dave picked this charm out on a double-date we went on with my parents this past December to see "A Christmas Carol" at the Alliance Theatre. Dave made me a necklace using an identical charm, which he gave to me for Christmas. :o)
Dolphin - On our 2nd Dave & Darah Day, we went to the GA Aquarium and I saw my first dolphin show ever. It was great!
Trolly - This charm was purchased while we were in the North GA mountains on our honeymoon. There was history with trolleys in that area, and Dave remembered that his mom had a trolley on her charm bracelet.
So, there you have it!
Kinda disappointed we never did get a charm when we went to Utah together a few months after we got married, but it's so way not the end of the world. :o)
It was fun to compare charm bracelets with Dave's mom and sister, Gina, a few weeks ago. If Carrie, Dave's other sister, had been there, she could have added hers to the comparison. :o) I feel like an official Wheeler woman now!
Simply gorgeous and SO COOL!!! :)
