introduction!

[slg47]

Hi everyone! So I figured I would introduce myself, since I haven''t yet...also as some other posters have pointed out LIW is sort of dead recently.

Anyway let''s see...I am 24, live in CA, in grad school. My BF moved out here in August and I am so happy he did! Before that we were long distance which really sucked. As far as engagement stuff, we have a center diamond picked out (it is in my avatar

) and BF just paid for the setting today so it should be done soon! I got the diamond at a local jeweler and was having problems with the setting so I decided to have BGD make me a setting. It is going to be pretty simple, with pear side stones, but the other jeweler gave me pear side stones that did NOT match.

Oh and I am NOT on the list, just don''t see the point of it for me personally (nothing wrong with it though!) and I think BF might take it the wrong way. He already thinks I spend way too much time on PS (which is true!)

That''s pretty much it...Hi everyone!

Oh and also, let''s see, mom has started to plan wedding already even though we are not engaged (not seriously, just a few ideas, and I think it''s really cute that she is so excited about it)

AND...most excitingly...a Trader Joe''s just opened about a block from our apt!!!

It''s so nice that your mom is excited about the engagement too! I am from California too so that is also exciting : ), even though I live in Colorado now.

I hope so! not big by PS standards (1.10 ct center, 0.15 ct sides) but I think it will be perfect for me

I''m not really a CA girl...from TX, went to college in upstate NY, now in CA...TX girl at heart
