Charms from my Neighbor

I received a silver charm bracelet for Christmas from my neighbor.  It already had a silver heart on it.  It meant so much to me because she is more like a sister to me than a neighbor.  So, I put it on and did not take it off.  Two months later, my birthday rolled around and my neighbor gave me a new charm for my bracelet.  She gave me a Shih Tzu dog.  I have a Shih Tzu myself who I adore and love.  I put it on the bracelet with her there watching me.  Then my husband and I went away for our one-year anniversary. We stopped at a Boyd’s Bear Country in PA.  It was so overwhelming.  So many bears, I wanted to take all of them home but instead I bought a charm for my bracelet.  Then my husband and I ventured up to the Bridal Falls in PA.  We saw some beautiful waterfalls just like we had seen a year earlier on our honeymoon to Niagara Falls.  So, I knew I had to have a waterfall charm.   I could not find one anywhere though.  So, when we got home I went to our jeweler and ordered a Niagara Falls charm.  The latest charm I am looking to add is a judicial charm.  It is to honor my brother who now severs our country as a JAG Army lawyer.
