Stephen, my boyfriend of 30 years, died this past November. Because he was a Navy veteran, he wanted to be buried at sea. The Navy did this for him on a deployment in the Atlantic. They sent me the coordinates of the place where Stephen was buried. I had a sable bracelet and Where Are You Anchored? necklace made to honor his memory and keep him close to me at all times. Both pieces are beautiful.

For my 30th birthday, the year after my grandmother – my Nannie- passed, my fiancé got my necklace enscribed with her handwriting from one of the last Christmas cards she wrote to me. It reads, “Love you forever.” My fiancé and I bought my Nannie’s house after she had left us. The coordinates to her/our home are on the opposite side of my necklace. This is the most special gift I have ever received. Thank you, Lat & Lo for making the most amazing, memorable gift for me. I will now get to wear my Nannie right next to my heart every day.

4 years ago I met the most amazing man of my life after he returned home from Afghanistan. It was the kind of love we read about or watch in movies. But there it was, right in front of me, I finally had everything. Love comes with a lot challenges, it really can test who we are. We have faced many trials and tribulations throughout our journey together. One thing always remains true and thats our love and friendship for one another. He is now over in Afghanistan again fighting for my freedom, our freedom. This necklace represents the other half of my heart that is 1000s of miles away. Come home safe. I love you. GTS.

My husband and I met on a dating site. Our first date or, what I had fondly called the meet and greet, was at a romantic sushi restaurant. So the lon/lat was of that restaurant and he had the back inscribed with the acronym WIFLEOY . (when i first laid eyes on you) He was deployed for our first Christmas as husband and wife and this brought tears to my eyes. I will cherish it forever. 🙂

Lat & Lo- your pieces are magical and incredible! I have been able to document my love adventure with my beloved husband through your well crafted and stunning pieces. From the Almafi Coast to Spain. The look on my husbands face could not have been more meaningful and heartfelt. Grateful for your craftsman ship and 5 star service! The boxes stylishly compliment the pieces. Thank you again!

Between both of us balancing two jobs, schooling, sports and clubs we believe god put us in the same place at the same time for a reason. He is going away to school so I thought I would give him a constant reminder of how lucky I was to meet him on a cold Buffalo February day and for all the times to come. The coordinates on his necklace are where we met. As for forever, I’ll see you then

Cape Cod, Massachusetts is my paradise away from anything in my life. It’s my own piece of heaven, and when I got the coordinates as a gift from my boyfriend I was overwhelmed with happiness. Having this place now physically close to my heart is a beautiful gift. My necklace is a personal reminder of not only my favorite place, but of the love of our life and our favorite song, From the Ground Up (or, F.T.G.U). Not only do I have my favorite place around my neck, but now I also have him with me always. I’ve found someone truly special in him that I’m very grateful for. Thank you, Lat&Lo.

“She’s a New Orleans girl and New Orleans girls never live anywhere else and even if they do, they always come back. That’s just the way it is. This is where she belongs. End of discussion.” – Chris Rose. No matter where I’ll travel I know that home is always coming with me.

So many stories rightfully so are to commemorate a special occasion that has great significance for the person. For me, my coordinates reflect the future. My husband and I love Petoskey, Michigan, where we plan to retire. Right now, those dreams are deferred until my husband retires at the end of the year. This ring reminds me every day of the place that stole our hearts and that we will soon call home. It symbolizes the hope that resides in beginning the next chapter of our lives.

I studied abroad in Rome, Italy last spring semester of 2016. Since it was my first time being away from home for such an extended amount of of time, 4.5 months to be exact, I was given the necklace with the coordinates of my home to never forget where my roots are. The necklace would remind me whenever I felt homesick or even taking off on a new adventure that I held home close to my heart.

Like many people, I took my home for granted and didn’t’ realize it until I was
exposed to people who had no home and little or no anchors in their lives.

About two years ago, I became director of a Homeless Day Shelter. When I
got to know the people, look them in the eyes and share eight hours a day with
them, I came to realize and appreciate how lucky I am to have a home.

I wear my Lat & Lo necklace almost every day so I can carry the love and peace I feel in my home with me into the shelter. We, my staff of three and I, work very
hard every day to make the shelter a safe place and, hopefully, an anchor for our
homeless participants.

Thank you for creating a lovely piece of jewelry that affects so many disenfranchised lives.

I am in love with New York City. I went on a trip with my mom and we had the best time there. My coordinates are Times Square, my absolute favorite place in the world!

This is a beautiful idea for seniors graduating- so they never forget where they came from! I am giving as graduation gifts this year.

As an only child, I grew up with my parents and grandparents. They were my people. My grandparents lived in Valdosta, GA in a house that I spent every Thanksgiving, Christmas morning, mothers & fathers day, basically any holiday ever in. I grew up, they got older. My grandparents were my best friends and have since passed. They lived in that house for over 50 years. My mom and I cleaned out the house and put it on the market. She now cries because she “doesn’t have a home to go home to anymore”. This past Christmas, I got her and I necklaces with the coordinates to Valdosta and on the back is my grandparents address…1225 Thomwal. Although it cant bring the house back, it reminds us both that we will forever call it home.

My story is unfortunately one of great sadness. My numbers represent the final resting place of my horse Phantom. I rescued Phantom when i was 12 years old. He was old, blind in one eye, “unridable” and was bound to the slaughterhouse. He was being boarded in the same barn i was boarding my horse in. When we all got word that his owners decided they were sending him to auction i begged my parents to let me save him. After much begging and pleading they finally gave in.
Fast forward a few years and you would not even recognize him. This “unridable” horse was now fully trained, blazing trails and letting little kids ride him. He taught me so much, how to be a better rider, how to listen when there are no words, patience and understanding. He made me laugh and cry. He was a companion to my other horse Kelly. He was a unique soul and the biggest goof!
On a cold morning in March, Phantom suddenly passed away. He was 30 years old. We took what would be our last trail ride only 2 days before. I was lucky enough to see him the night before unknown to me that that would be the last “goodnight” and kiss on his forehead.
Phantom was laid to rest on my uncles farm about 3 hours away from me. Having these coordinates keeps him close to my heart.

The coordinates I got were the ones to my grandparent’s house/my house. I partly grew up in it, but once they died my father and I moved in for a few years. After four years we were forced to move within the span of 2 months (not a lot of time to process, especially for someone who just started eighth grade). I moved back to my old town for the next year, but was secretly depressed and in denial, I was no longer living at my home. Two years later I’m going to a different school, living in a different town happiest I’ve ever been and decided to get this as a reminder to be happy and live a happy life, but always have my true home closest to me.

I live in Alberta, Canada and was leaving for a study abroad trip in Brazil for 6 months. My girlfriend was having a hard time with it, and I wanted to surprise her with the perfect gift before I left. That’s when I found Lat & Lo. I ordered the Where Are You Anchored necklace inscribed with the coordinates of my address in Brazil. The necklace was beautiful and the customer service was excellent. It was a perfect gift that showed no matter where we were or how many miles were between us, we were always anchored to eachother. Lat & Lo is an incredible company and I can’t thank them enough!

I just received my first piece of jewelry from Lat and Lo for Christmas! My brother and his new fiancee surprised me with a bar necklace with the coordinates to Catacamas, Honduras. In the last three years I have spent the early part of November doing medical mission work at Hospital Santo Hermano Pedro in Catacamas. This trip has become a very important part of my life, and I spend the better part of each year planning a benefit to help raise funds for this trip. The fact that they chose this gift, and such a special location, took me by complete surprise. I couldn’t be more in love with it!!!! Now I’m trying to figure out who I can surprise with their own Lat & Lo gift!

I was looking for some ideas to put in my daughter’s high school yearbook when I came across a link to your business. I’ve just received the beautiful bar necklace that has our house coordinates and a sweet little saying on the back that we have used throughout the years. I absolutely love it!!! I intended to give it to her at graduation so she can always find her way home. Now I just have to wait until May!

I moved to a new town in Pennsylvania when I was 11 years old and there I met my best friend. Her name is Chiara and she was born Nebraska, but her moms family is from Italy. Each summer, she goes to Italy to stay and visit her family and friends. This year, she left in May and is staying in Florence on her own to finish her fifth year of high school and she plans on attending university next fall. We have been friends for 7 years now and I miss her more and more every day. When she was home, I practically lived with her family. I was always at her house, we made dinner together, we’d go to family parties together, and her parents always counted me as their daughter. I bought a Lat & Lo necklace for her with the coordinates of our town and the inscription “anima gemelli” on the back, which means “soul sisters” in Italian. No matter how far we travel, this necklace will be a constant reminder that we will always be with each other.

My husband wanted to get something special for our two daughter for Christmas. Our oldest daughter is mine from another marriage, but he adopted her. Her charm bangle is the location to the court house and the date he adopted her. Our youngest has always wanted to go to New York, so for her sweet 16th Birthday we took her to New York. Her necklace is the location to Time Square and her birth date and year she turned 16.

On Valentine’s Day my boyfriend and I adopted a sweet senior pug mix from a rescue near Tampa, FL. Angie was a wonderful dog and I always wondered how someone could have dumped her on the side of the road. After we had her for four months, we discovered that she had a nasal tumor. It was very advanced and I did not want to put her through radiation and numerous vet visits. We had to let her go in September and I was absolutely heartbroken. I wanted to have something to remember her by so I had a heart necklace from Lat & Lo made with the location of the rescue on it and her nickname, Angie Muffin, on the back. I wear it often and it makes me smile thinking about her.

I had a crush on my best guy friend (Jason) for the better part of 20 years. About a year ago I was in the process of buying my first home. As a single mom I had worked my butt off and was so proud of myself for taking this huge step in my life. I never really said much about my excitement to Jason, I was just very matter of fact about the whole thing. During this time, Jason and I were spending more time together, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up that he could actually be getting feelings for me. When I finally was approved to buy the home, I couldn’t wait to tell him!!! What I didn’t know was that he apparently already knew I would be getting the house and he gave me a gorgeous Lat & Lo bangle with the coordinates to my new (now OUR) new home.

In 1963, my husband was a senior at the University of South Carolina. He would graduate in May 1964 and go to Quantico for his training to be an officer in the United Stated Marine Corps. In the winter of 1963, he had a relationship with a young lady. Later he would find out that she was pregnant. But he was on the pathway of his training for the USMC. So he left in May 1964. We married in August of 1965. At sometime, he told me of the possibility of a child from a previous relationship. We were young and on the move and we did not think about this child. Years passed. My husband got out of the Marine Corps and we settled in Columbia, SC where he had a successful real estate career. In March 2013, my husband got a message from a lady saying that she was his daughter and that she would like to meet him! 49 years later! She lived just 25 miles from us! She and my husband talked on the phone over the next couple of months. Then on June 11, 2013, we arranged for she and her husband and Jim and I to meet her. She is my husband’s daughter! A beautiful young lady who the Lord has brought into our lives. So the coordinates for her bracelet were for the place where we first met her and the date of that meeting. She has been a wonderful blessing in our lives. Thank you for making the memorable bracelet for us to give to her for her birthday.

I grew up in Cleveland during the the fall, winter and spring. I grew up in Florida during the summers on the beach. Florida has always held a special place in my heart. I learned how to swim in Florida, gained a love of the ocean from Florida and discovered a curiosity of marine life from my time in Florida. Always felt like Florida was a second home to me and each time I return to Florida I gain a certain glow just from being back in this spot. Wearing the exact coordinates of the Hutchinson Island beach on my Lat & Lo ring is that subtle reminder of my happy spot for me and my family. I feel better connected to my second home wearing this ring every day and knowing that these coordinates are the exact spot that I adore.

When I moved to Galway, Ireland I instantly fell in love with the charm and beauty of the city. It didn’t take long before I also fell in love with my amazing boyfriend! We made every day an adventure and never stopped exploring all of Ireland’s hidden treasures. We recently made the bittersweet decision to relocate to the US. We knew it would be difficult to leave the place where he grew up and where I had spent 5 of the best years of my life. Before we moved, he gave me a Lat & Lo bar necklace with the coordinates of Galway city center. The back is inscribed with “eachtra,” which is the Irish word for adventure. Every time I wear it I’m reminded of my home away from home and the special place where our adventure began.

My stepfather passed away in May after nearly a ten year battle with prostate cancer, and having done two tours with the Navy, we were able to bury him in this stunning and special place. I plan to present all of his girls (including myself) with your beautiful necklaces on his birthday which also happens to be Christmas Day. Thank you for making a product that people can hold so dear.

Lat & Lo,

First I want to thank you so much for making such a beautiful piece of jewelry!!  I have just received my first LAT & Lo necklace from my boyfriend. He got the coordinates of where we met, and the back of the necklace had the date of the day we met.  I loved it SO much I had to get another one!! This time I ordered the disc necklace with the coordinates of Colorado Springs because that is where my boyfriend is currently stationed in the Airforce. I am a teacher in NY (where we are both from) and we have been doing long distance for over 2.5 years!!! Where we are from in NY is 1,842 miles from Colorado Springs, which is why the back of the necklace reads Love>1,842.  Love is greater than distance :). I have spent so much time in Colorado over the past 2.5 years and some of my greatest memories are there which is why it is such a special place to me. I can’t wait to receive my necklace in the mail, and thank you again for making jewelry that has so much meaning behind it!!

I met the man I would marry when I moved to Italy. Throughout the years we vacationed in the beautiful Seychelles. When he proposed, we decided to get married there. Those islands are stunning and naturally beautiful. We couldn’t think of a better place as we had enjoyed so many amazing memories there. My necklace is inscribed with the coordinates of the island where we were married, and our wedding date. I love it!

A year and a half ago, I moved out of my parents house to the city to be closer to the college I attend. The transition was tough and I missed being home. It felt as though a piece of me was missing. I decided getting a personalized Lat & Lo necklace would be a perfect reminder of where I come from that I can wear everyday. I’ve been wearing it for a year straight and almost never take it off. I love this piece of jewelry!

I actually live in Virginia but for the last 4 months I have been in Antarctica at the US McMurdo Station. My friend sent me the necklace with the coordinates on for my Christmas present as a reminder when I leave. I have attached a photo of me wearing it with some of Antarctica in the background and a picture of a sign with the same coordinates on (not rounded up but the same). I have been a chef down here and tomorrow return home. Antarctica is stunning in it’s beauty but really really cold – except for the few weeks of summertime when it is just chilly on the Station. Thanks for the great idea and I really love the necklace.

I met my husband of now 40 years at a part time job that I was not elidigle for because both my parent worked. But the files were messed up and i was called for the summer job working as a tower operator for Georgia Forestry Commission. We had a chemistry from day on and married 2 years later.. He is everything to me and the other half that make me complete

We met on the side of a mountain on the French side of the Pyrenees on the Camino de Santiago. He was singing Gordon Lightfoot songs in the fog and I followed his voice. We knew we were soul mates right from that moment.
This was 2013. The time wasn’t right for us then but now, four years later, we are planning our future together. I’m Canadian he’s Irish. The coordinates are the exact place we met on the side of that mountain.

All my life I was the outcast of my family and the only person that always stood by my side was my ABUELITA (grandmother) She was my rock, my best friend, my role model & the person I could run to with all my problems. She helped me raise 3 wonderful, loving & caring boys, & She passed away last year (11/9/2017) and we took her ashes to her birth & final resting place Coamo PR. The coordinates on my ring are of her final resting place. A memory of the strongest woman I know!!!

“There is no place like home” is a quote from one of my childhood movies, The Wizard of Oz. My sister left for college and I realized my best friend was going on adventures that I couldn’t go on yet. I got her the silver bar necklace to remind her that no matter how far she roams that there is no place like home. No matter where she wanders we both know where we come from and who loves us at home! She will never forget where home is and that there is no place like home!

I wasn’t even in high school yet when I met the love of my life. At the time I didn’t know that it would be the love of my life. I met her in school. I was going into my freshmen year and she was going into her senior year when we started dating. Sounds wrong but its not she’s only a year older than I am. She was in a teachers room that I was in most of the time. I came stomping in yelling and screaming because i was having a bad day. I ended up sitting next to her and talking for a bit and she showed me this thing called whale facts and it took off from there. Its been over 2 and a half years now that we’ve been together. She’s going into her junior year of college and I’m going into my senior year of high school. Couldn’t have made it where I am today without her.

My freshman year of college I met someone I never knew I would need. He taught me how to love even when circumstances change and people move on. I believe God places people along your path for a divine reason and my heart was made to love these people unconditionally. I will be forever thankful for the short time I spent here at little, old Baldwin Wallace.

Chapel HIll is where I fell in love. This was one of those love stories that just did not work out. It was not the right time or the right circumstance. We were not ready for one another. The passion was there but it quickly got complicated – almost volatile. We had a fall out & did not speak for many years. Until one night at an alumni weekend, we reconnected. We reconnected as new people, but most importantly, as better people. This moment occurred at my favorite bar & it was everything. Sometimes all you need in life is a second chance.

Since I was 6 years old, my parents always took my brother and I on vacation every summer to Raystown Lake in Pennsylvania. It became our favorite hideaway. A place where we had irreplaceable memories, unforgettable laughs and spent amazing quality time together. Every summer this is what we looked forward to. I am now 21 and this is our first year not going to our favorite spot. Growing up it was my dream to some day get married there in the fall when the leaves were changing. Then when I have my own family I can hopefully make it their favorite spot. For now I’ll hold on to my necklace and remember all the amazing memories we had.

During the summertime, I work at a camp for individuals with disabilities. This camp has changed my life. The camp shows everyone the importance of acceptance and inclusion, and I have made life-long friendships with not only the staff, but the campers as well. The campers get the opportunity to be a part of things they never thought they could be a part of (archery, tubing, zip-lining, riflery, etc). My parents surprised me with a Lat & Lo bar necklace with the coordinates for my birthday, because they know how important it is to me, and because they know how much I miss camp throughout they year.
“They did not know they could not fly…so they did.”

I was first told about Lat & Lo from a friend of mine. I started thinking about what cool items I could get for my wife, such a unique gift. Then it hit me, this would be something to honor my Son I lost a year and a half ago to suicide. Only 18 yrs old and the oldest of 8 kids, I still can’t form the words for the pain in my heart. I am using where is he buried for the Lat and Long location. I think its an amazing thing to have something like this item that helps me feel closer to him. Its difficult for me to go to the grave site but having this bracelet on me now, makes me feel like I am there everyday by his side, wearing this item. Thank you Lat & Lo for making such an amazing item like this, I am so glad to have found you!

I grew up a farmers daughter. My Dad has farmed my grandparents farm since he was a teenager and continued to farm even after they passed. Recently the family sold both the land and the property to a wonderful family, and even though we can always visit, it just isn’t the same. My necklace will always be my special reminder of the farm and my special memories.

My coordinates signify where the love of my life was born (well the hospital) my little girl who is my hero. Though the birth of your child is an exciting moment and changes your life, but my little hero was born at 30 weeks and now at almost 3 is still as strong and feisty as she was at 2lbs. Nonetheless this means the world to me and someday I hope it means the world to her when I give it to her!

So this morning I was woken up by my husband with a Zelda themed treasure hunt. It started in our home, led to my work and back home, where I was given a key to a treasure box. Inside the box was rupees, a fairy in a jar and a beautiful necklace from Lat &Lo. On the necklace were the location where we first said I love you and the date. Also included was a anchor in the middle which means so much to me. I have always called my husband my anchor, because I have horrible anxiety he has always been my anchor to keep me steady. So this piece has more meaning in than I could have ever imagined.

My boyfriend and I met in Oklahoma City in the air traffic training program. We weren’t suppose to become as close as we did, but it turned out for the best. One weekend we went ice skating; in a way it was our first date. He was falling all over the ice and I was falling in love with him. Luckily about a month later I broke down and let him know that I loved him and we’ve been inseparable ever since. This Christmas he got me a necklace with the coordinates of that ice skating rink.

About 4 years ago I met a girl that changed my life forever.
My husband and I have all boys and we decided we would open our home to an exchange student. Little did I know that I would become so very attached in the 9 months she was in our home. She became the daughter I never had. We are in Ohio and she is in Germany.
The separation has been difficult at times , but we do stay in touch and I was lucky enough to have a visit from her over the summer. During her stay this time I decided I would do something for her , so I got a tattoo with her coordinates.
She loved the idea , but was not so fond tattoos for herself.
When I found your website I was thrilled, now I would be able to buy her the perfect Christmas gift!
Thank you Lat&Lo❤️️ Tracy Parmiter

I am in the NAVY and have a wonderful wife that has followed me to around the world to my various assignments for over 20 years. I purchased the Lat and Lo City ring to signify our final port of call. This unique ring exceeded all expectations, from the packaging to the quality craftsmanship! I am very pleased and so is my most deserving wife. Thank you!

In many ways, this story is for those filled with wanderlust and are fortunate enough to be anchored by an unconditional love of family, and lovers. Acknowledging my complete disregard for and lack of sense of direction, I was both surprised and touched to receive a silver cuff from Lat&Lo inscribed with 41o 40o N 71o 26 o W , coordinates of my mooring. Stretching the Lat&Lo sentiment, my very special kindred spirit, captured our tales of the journey and the destination. The latitude and longitude of our bond could never be captured in words!

And the tale gets bigger!

Blessed with three strong, independent, spirited daughters traveling around the globe, as they explore all their possible paths; finding the perfect present is challenging and is still often underrated relative to their worldly experiences. The Lat&Lo gift and sentiment I received, kept on giving, and I was inspired to share the gift that touched me to the bone. With amazing ease, I ordered three identical cuffs, with the back inscription: home is always here and the exact coordinates to remind them where they weather out storms and collect unconditional support.

There is no doubt, as I catch glimpses of my own cuff, and feel its embrace; I know my daughters will share the exact sensation from the cuffs I played forward to them!

Twenty-four years ago my parents fell in love, got married and built a beautiful house together in a small place called Baytown, Texas. My younger sister and I grew up in that house. We made so many wonderful memories there. We had every thanksgiving dinner in that house, woke up every Christmas morning in that house. We laughed and cried in that house. We even fought like it was World War 3 in that house. We laid to rest some of the most amazing pets, in the back yard of that house. We shared the deepest of secrets in the rooms of that house… We learned so much about each other, and ourselves. I wouldn’t take back a single second spent in that house. We’re grown now. Two years ago I moved out and into a house of my own. This January my sister will be moving to Austin for school. My parents have talked about selling the house. They have land by the lake where they’d like to retire. So, this Christmas I got my sister and I matching necklaces with the coordinates of our childhood house, on the back, the word “Home” just as a little reminder that no matter how old we get, or where we are in the world, that house will always be our home. It’s the house that built US. So thank you Lat & Lo, for making such a special piece of jewelry that we will be able to cherish for the rest of our lives!

Growing up, I never really had a consistent home. I moved a few times with my parents, I moved around different homes when I was in care. No one really had the time for me, and I never felt like I had a place anywhere; like I wasn’t important.
As I grew into a teenager, I developed mental health problems, and as a result ended up constantly in and out of hospital. I was shipped all over the country to different hospitals, without any say. I really had hit a low, and had given up.
I came so close to dying on several occasions, that it’s scary to think about.
But then, I was sent to a hospital that would change my life forever. When I arrived, I was shut down, withdrawn and tired of life. But this place was different from the rest; they didn’t give up on me.
They supported me and helped me through, getting me to the point where I realised I was important and that I could turn my life around, and into something positive.
After spending a year and 2 months there, I was ready for the big wide outside world! They helped me sort out going to college, doing volunteer work, and helped me secure my own place too.
I honestly owe my life to that hospital ward, I truly believe I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for them.
My coordinates are the hospital. Every time I feel like I’m struggling, and can’t make it through, I have that reminder around my wrist that I can do it. A reminder that people believe in me, and I can do anything I want to! It’s a reminder of hope, and a reminder that I am now strong!

I grew up with just having my mom around. We moved around fairly frequently until she finally met the man that I would call my dad and they moved into the house that I would live in the rest of my childhood life. We lived in that house together, gaining two little sisters along the way, for 13 years. Now, I had seen the Lat&Lo team at my school, the University of North Florida, and thought as I was beginning my transition out of the house I would keep something close to my heart of the house I grew up in. I got matching Anchor Necklaces for my mother and I of the coordinates of the house and on the back it says “…is my heart”. So that my mother knows no matter how far I go from home, I’m always with her.

I would like to take a moment and thank Amanda at Lat & Lo, their customer service is the best! They will work with you to ensure that you are happy with your piece. I ordered 2 gorgeous bar necklaces. One for myself with coordinates of the cliffs of Palos Verdes where I was married. On the back is inscribed, “TaleOldasTime” from Beauty and Beast, our favorite play.The other necklace is for my daughter, with the coordinates of her grandfather’s home. He has passed but their bond is still very strong and the connection is tangible with the necklace. Great keepsakes. I told my daughter that it would also make for cherished bridesmaid’s gift to have coordinates of where they first met. The possibilities are endless!

I just wanted to say I am excited for the 2 necklaces I ordered today for my wife. I ordered the bar necklace for her birthday on Oct 9th. The coordinates on that piece is from the traffic stop that started our journey together. The stop was in May 2006 and I will never forget that day. We talked for 40 mins on the side of the road. I found my soul mate and I can’t wait to give her this beautiful piece. The second necklace (disc) is the location of the church we married on Oct 11th 2008. The church is where her father preaches. My wife’s great grandfather built the church and it is a special place for our family. I can’t thank you enough for the gorgeous craftsmanship and opportunity for people to never forget where their journey began.

I have been with my now fiance for 18 years. We always wanted to make sure we were financially stable, made home and had what we needed before getting engaged and planning a wedding. As a girly girl, I always waiting for the day he would propose. On our October vacation, on the last night, he proposed to me at the resort! It was the happiest day and I now wear the coordinates to remind me of the joy I felt and look forward to wearing the wedding location coordinates bracelet in just 38 days!

In June I ordered a necklace that had the exact coordinates of where I was going to propose to my girlfriend (fiancé now!). Well I got the necklace and I popped the question on Wednesday and she didn’t quite put it all together until she looked at a sign that I made and set it on the dock so as she was walking down she saw it first.
I wanted to attach this picture just so that you guys know and remember that what you guys did to help me make this happened will be remembered forever!

It all began when Andy told me he was taking me on a surprise trip. One of the items on my bucket list was to go on a trip without knowing a destination or planning for it. The only thing Andy would tell me was to pack clothes for typical cool fall weather and said we were going to a city neither of us has ever been.
