504 Days to Go: The real ring

Not that my purple ring is any less real, but this little-and by little I mean humongous-sucker is the ring everybody wants to see.



He's so awesome, he brought it to me at work as soon as it was ready. I was with a patron and she asked "Is this for real?"

Yup, sure is. For real, and really, really beautiful.

(You know, I have a degree in English... you'd think I could be more eloquent...)

511 Days to Go: The Actual Beginning

David Just Proposed!!!

Okay, not just... more like eleven hours ago.

It's not my permanent ring...obviously. But it's an amazingly sweet gesture.



He had to special order my actual ring, and the designer sent the wrong setting to the jeweler.

So rather than put off proposing to a less meaningful moment, my dear, darling fiance` went to the local Super1 and bought the gem above for a fat $.50 .

And I couldn't be happier!!!!!

This weekend is the first BugStock of the year. Our first "date," the first day we spent any real time together was the final BugStock of last year, so David decided this weekend was the weekend, ring or no ring.

It's the best idea he's had so far, if I do say so myself.
