Jewelry/Bling Update!!

So ladies, we went back to the family jeweler today.  It was my second visit and BF's first visit and we were hoping to be able to first, make a decision and second, if we decided to go with the cathedral style like the one in LA, to see if the family guy could get that for us. 
Well, we had also looked at other rings in the mean time, trying to help narrow it down or make a decision.  So, when we walked up to the family jeweler's counter, I was expecting to try on the "second choice" ring and not like it as much as the "first choice" one we'd found in LA.  I was expecting to ask him to find a way to get us something more like the "first choice" one.  BUT, when I put it back on my hand, I loved it in a way that I hadn't when I first tried it one last week!  It was actually much prettier in person than I'd remembered.  Anyway, long story short, that ring, along with that sparkly diamond, are now being set and sized just for me!!  BF is hoping to make it back next week to pay the other half and pick it up.  So - guess what I'm hoping to find in my Christmas stocking (or advent calendar or under the tree, or at New Year's or in a box for my upcoming birthday - whatever!!)?!?!?  Color me EXCITED!!

    Yay!  That's very exciting indeed!  I'm glad you will get something you love.

    Me too!!  It's just so funny how I agonized about the decision and it was so easy when I put the ring on today.  When BF handed the guy the check I threw my arms around him and we kissed and we both were all teary-eyed with big grins on our face.  Just a fantastic day!!

    Awesome! Happy you found a ring you love even if it wasn't necessarily love at first sight. Sometimes a second glance is all it takes.

    So exciting!  Try to put it out of your mind, now, and not expect it for every special occasion.  :)

    YAYA!  But now you have to forget all about it.  He still has to buy a pony so don't think it will come too soon.  Horses are a lot harder to buy for.

    So exciting! I love hearing about choosing a ring. I never got to do that, so I'm curious what it is really like to be able to pick.

    </div><div>That is DEFINITELY exciting. Just don't make yourself crazy waiting for it. Sometimes it takes a long time between buying the ring and proposing. </div>

    I am overjoyed for you Meg! I know it's tough to commit to a ring. For some girls it's easy, but for me it felt like a big decision. I agree with the other posters, try to put thoughts of the proposal out of your head and just go with the flow now. My guy bought a ring in Feb. of this year and I still don't have it on my finger yet. Though he says "it's coming sooner than you think" almost every week. **headsick**

    No pictures of the actual one but it looks very much like this:



    BF was really fantastic (and patient) through the whole process.  We had kind of been looking for awhile and then just got more serious about looking when we came home from Kauai at the beginning of November.  The whole time he really just wanted to make sure we got something I loved since I'll be the one looking at it every day!  What made the whole thing even better is that we're spending less than we thought we'd have to since we went with the family jeweler.  It was a huge decision, made harder by the fact that there were two different ones I really loved. 
    Now, the tough part is putting it out of my mind and not going BSC waiting for the actual proprosal!!  Allusive, I have NO idea how you've waited this long.  I think I would explode!!!
