Engagement: Part One

THE RING

So let's go over the most important thing to some. The Ring. Here it is in all its glory. I think it is a total of 1.5 karats (spelling?) It was very hard to take a good shot! It is the ring I kept going back to over the last 7 months. I love it! Apparently he had had it for a month and I kept ruining his plans. He will tell his own story shortly for this blog. Also on the day he picked it up from being cleaned I was with him. Who knew?! We happened to be walking in Northgate Mall and I wanted to go to Bath & Body Works as some of my favorite stuff was being discontinued. So as we were walking I noticed the jewelry store where the ring I had been wanting was at, and I think I said "Oh look" and he said they are out of stock there. So I didn't even bother going over there if I couldn't try it on. Technically they were out of stock because he had bought it earlier that month from this particular store. So I go to my store and he said "I'm going to head over to Macy's to look at clothes." And I was like, okay. He said he would meet me back where I was. Well like 2.2 minutes later there he was back in my store with a Macy's bag and he said "I just had to go get your 4.0 gift real quick (At the end of every quarter Jim gets me gifts if I get a 4.0, this summer I almost didn't get a 4.0 and he said "let's just get you a finishing the quarter gift then." He's awesome like that). Needless to say he had gone over to the jewelry store picked up the ring from being cleaned and went to Macy's to have the counter girls wrap up the ring and put it in a Macy's bag to look like he had gotten something for me from Macy's. He was so worried I would walk to the jewelry store and try on other rings (I tend to do that) that he hurried back over to where I was.
