Happy holidays to everyone! Some of you may remember from my (very!) brief intro that I recently moved pretty far away from my boyfriend of two years. As an anniversary present to ourselves, we decided that when he came to visit last weekend (our first time seeing each other since my move two mos ago) we''d head to a Ritz near where I live now for a little R&R. The hotel was absolutely beautiful and we couldn''t have asked for a better weekend. (Reynolds Plantation on Lake Oconee, GA- I highly, highly recommend it!) We''ve been talking about marriage for a while now but I knew a proposal wasn''t in the cards this weekend. On the way back home from the resort, we stopped in a few really quaint old GA towns. In the last one, we passed a jewelry store and my boyfriend suggested that we go in and look at some rings- our first ring shopping trip!! At the beginning of the trip we''d talked about going window shopping so he could get an idea of what I liked, but we hadn''t really had any time all weekend. We found a few settings that we both really liked and even measured my ring size. (As a side note: I have really big hands- like, able-to-palm-a-basketball big- and we got my ring size measured- and it was almost an entire size smaller than I thought I was- so exciting! And to boot, he said, "Oh don''t worry, I''ll remember it", when the saleswoman at the store asked him if he wanted her to write down my size for him). I don''t expect a proposal for at least another 6 mos or so (though he did tell me that most of his paycheck is now going to a separate bank account- good sign, right??), but ring shopping was so so SO much fun! He was such a good sport, asking questions and cracking jokes and NOT having a panic attack, which was far more than I''d expected of him.
Also, I talked to him tonight and he told his parents that we''d been ring shopping when he was visiting and they were thrilled. And so am I- can you tell??? Sorry, I''m not usually this gushy, am just really excited about the events of last weekend and thought I''d share with y''all. Congrats to all of you ladies who are getting engaged over the holidays- what a special time!
