So this weekend, it snowed. Jackie and Casey came down to visit through the spring time snow storm on Saturday afternoon. Joe and I fed them cipino (seafood stew) which was good as usual though is probably nearing the end of the good leftover stage. We sat around not doing much and playing Rockband.
Sunday, before Jackie and Casey left, we decided to go to the mall and look at the rings I had picked out. I seriously thought that this would take minimal time. Look at the three rings, put them on, Jackie puts in her input on which one she likes better, which one looks better on me. Not so. The salesgirls pulled out other rings none of which I really liked.
Somehow, Joe made me narrow down which one I liked better. I really decided that I liked the more expensive one, even if it was out of Joe's price range. I kept backsliding towards the other rings. (Which I really did like!) Then out the blue, Joe is like 'Let's put it in layaway!' Was this really happening? Did we just decide on an engagement ring? Did we really make this decision?
I feel guilty saying that Joe put the ring in layway. It sounds like he's cheap. But the fact of the matter is that the ring was out of Joe's price range. However, he had/has a large amount of money saved up towards the ring and I don't think that it would take much for him to save up the balence.
I don't mind. Its fine.
This is what the ring looks like:
Okay, it doesn't look exactly like that. The three center stones are oval. Up the sides are two arches that are filled with diamonds. In the center of both sides on the setting is a small stone. On either side of the center on the sides, are more stones. (Joe and I actually argue if this is the case. I can't remember. I was pretty shocked!) Its big. A lot bigger than you would picture me liking. 1 1/2 total carets.
It was on clearance. That's the only way that we could have afforded it. Its regular price was A LOT! But I love it. I love that its big. I love that its shiney. I love Joe. I can't wait to get my ring and have him propose! Yea!
