"character is doing the right thing when nobody is looking"

Congrats Judy! Doesn't it feel good to have that baby weighing down your finger? There really is nothing like that box being opened and seeing your ring for the very first time. I was completely blown away at it's beauty.

What a lovely story and sounds very fun!! We wanted to go away for the weekend too when the proposal happened, but we didn't have any free weekends for another 2 weeks and he knew I didn't want to wait another minute!!!

Judy--You can shrink pictures once they are loaded on your computer as well..off the camera. Chances are you have some sort of picture editing software application that maybe came with your computer or your camera when you installed it? Try opening one of the pictures, then using the 'crop' tool to cut the picture to only have the items you want in the picture (e.g. this is a good way to cut out extra background in the picture that is not necessary).

You can probably also easily 'resize' the picture using one of the pulldown menus in the picture editing software application, maybe resize it to 50% of the original size and make sure to 'preserve the aspect ratio' when you resize. Then save the picture as a new name so you don't overwrite the old large one (which you may want to use to make prints later), and try uploading the new file. If it is still too large, resize again (or take the large one and resize to 30% or similar if resizing the new one messes with the picture quality), or crop out more extra background.

Once you do it once or twice you should get the hang of it. Hope this helps...and if this does not work or you don't have an editing software app, you can email me the pictures if you want at mara@netmagic.net and I will resize them and post from work tomorrow.

Okay here are the pictures...there are three of them in three posts. I cropped them as best I could for size and to still show off the ring itself...so sorry if you wanted more of your hand in the 2nd two...but I figured the first hand shot gave the idea you were looking for and focused on the stone/ring itself in the 2nd two pix.
