MrsRetro's New Tattoo...
Our 10 year wedding anniversary is coming up in October. I had agreed when we got married that I would buy her a new diamond ring to match her antique wedding set, a band to go on the outside of the other two. Well, just doesn't seem prudent now to buy her a diamond, since we're separated. So we decided to buy each other Tattoos instead. Makes perfect sense to me. So MrsRetro went to Madison last weekend and came home with this.

(Bonus points if you can identify what it is...)



Now it's my turn...
