I was shocked & when I opened it it was a little gold lavalier. I didn't know what to do & I told him I didn't believe it taking jewelry from a boy until you were engaged & he just laughed. When Rev Ricks got out of the buggy to catch his car  Geo just tried himself. He tried to hug & kiss me but I wouldn't stand for it yet couldn't do much to stop him.

& begged me to keep the lavalier. He said he has had it ever since Feb 22.
