Just thought I''d introduce myself!

I added myself to the LIW List about a month ago, but never really introduced myself.

I''ve been with my SO for a little over 3 years now, and the proposal should be coming sometime very soon! We met at Hooters (lol, romantic, I know!). I was his waitress! He''s quite a bit older then me (I''m 22, hes 34) but you would never notice and neither do we. We recently bought our first house together in October and filed for the first-time home buyers credit. With the 8k he gets from his tax return he will be buying my ring :)

I''ve had the ring picked out for months now, it''s starting to drive me crazy!! If you''re getting the first-time home buyers credit you had to paper-file your tax return, which we did in the beginning of February. We stupidly forgot to mail in his W2 with the return and it held up the process of getting the refund quickly. We mailed in the W2 almost 4 weeks ago now, so we should be getting the $$$ any day.

I started looking for the perfect ring back in January so I feel like I''ve been waiting forever. He''s letting me pick the ring because he knows how picky I am, but the purchasing of the ring/proposal is all going to be a surprise. I''ve started to not so subtley express my hatred of waiting (aka yelling ''I WANT MY RING, DAM*IT!'') so he definitely wont be holding onto the ring too long and making me wait. In the meantime I''ve been staring at wedding websites until my brain turns to goo! I basically have the entire wedding planned out in my head :) And I want to start finalizing plans but I feel like an idiot calling vendors when there hasn''t been a proposal. And he definitely isn''t the type to propose without the ring, so no luck there. He''s very old-fashioned when it comes to this sort of thing so I''m lucky to even have a say in the ring. I was going to pick 3 rings and just let him choose one, but after months of waiting I''ve become too attached to one in particular and I know that if I don''t get the one I''ll be slightly disappointed. I don''t want that to come across as not appreciative, because I am, but I know I''ll always wish I would have just told him which one.

Anyways, just wanted to say hello and give you a little bit of background on me! I love pricescope, it''s literally the only thing keeping me sane these days! Any posetive thoughts sent towards the IRS Gods regarding my SO''s $$$ would be appreciated :):):)

thanks for everything ladies!
 
hiya, welcome. I hope your LIW stay is short! Can we see pics of the ring you like?
 
Hi Anne!

I hope your homebuyer''s credit comes soon. Please tell us more about the ring you''re waiting for. Do you have a picture of the setting?
 
I don''t have a picture of it because it''s at a local jeweler''s store, but i did scour pricescope and this ring is pretty simliar..it''s newsgirl''s ring.

Pave round halo setting with a 3/4 carat round brilliant diamond.

It definitely wont be big compared to most PS''ers but my hands are a 4.5 so it looks normal for my finger :)

I will be definitely posting pics as soon as i get my hands on her!

Welcome! I''m sure BF will pick out a gorgeous ring for you. Guys are often more perceptive than they let on, so I wouldn''t be surprised at all if he actually knows which one you want.

Welcome! Both those rings are gorgeous and I''m sure your''s will be too! If I knew a ring like that was just around the corner, I''d be going crazy too!
 
Welcome! Love the ring! and hope you get your $$$ soon
 
welcome!!! nice ring :)
 
welcome! very pretty ring.
 
Wow, those rings are beautiful! I hope the tax credit comes soon, soon, soon ad then your ring shortly thereafter!!
 
Welcome! Looking forward to seeing your ring!
 
Just wanted to give a bit of an update...1 month later and still no tax refund, which means still no ring. Next week will be 4 months since we mailed in the return and I am getting so impatient! We got ourselves a taxpayer advocate to help, but I doubt it will speed things along. I know he''ll propose as soon as he gets the money, thats not the issue...we''re just waiting on Mr. Tax Man. And everytime we call to get some answers and a timeline as to when to expect the money, we just get the run around answer - ''keep waiting''. Please send some dust and good thoughts my way...I''d really appreciate it ladies :) also, any other updates from other LIW out there? xoxo
 
**DUST**

At least you know it''s coming soon. I''m really excited for you, hang in there!!
 
ooh that is going to be lovely! and halo + size 4.5 will be really big looking! I can''t wait to see pics when you get it...I hope it is soon!
 
Welcome!!! May your stay be short and sweet!!!
 
AHH That is similar to the ring I like so much! I also have a 4.5 finger and really love the halo look, I generally prefer no diamonds on the band - but both of those are beautiful. I am trying to decide what size center diamond still but I really love the 0.6 I tried on. I was looking for a 3/4 but they didn''t have one in store to look at!

Congrats on picking such a gorgeous ring and ******DUST*****!!

SO and I went to go look at the ring this weekend (he hadn''t actually seen it in person yet).

I got to take these photos with my iphone, sorry for the horrible quality, but you get the jist.

This ring is actually with a .56 carat center stone and mine will be around.70-.75.

It''s a pave round halo and pave band.

My finger is a size 5, not 4.5 like previously thought, and even the .56 has pretty good finger coverage.

I am so in love with it!!

I stare at these pictures all day long. I just wish our tax refund was here so I could hurry up and get her! Anyways, just wanted to show you guys :) :) :)
