he POPPED the big Q......!!!

[fancyrock]

We left CA on Thursday headed to Bryce Canyon/Zion National Park for our last road trip of the year.What a sight to see!!Spectacular rock formations and gorgeous colors.

We hiked in snow and muddy red clay on the Peekaboo loop trail (5.5 miles).After an all day hike, some rest and a nice dinner, near midnight on Saturday night, my bf took me to the lodge lobby, in front of the fireplace.(Earlier he had gone downstairs to make sure no one was going to be in the area, but he told me he was just going for a walk b/c he was not tired).

He held me in his arms and he asked me "If you could wish for anything for this weekend to be a perfect weekend, what would you wish for?" /www.pricescope.com/idealbb/images/smilies/3.gif[/img]

As many of you had been following the thread "Anxious" I only have my setting done.So he proposed to me with the incomplete e-ring.Here are some pictures for all you picture-holics out there(Keep in mind that you may see a center stone in some pictures, but that is the one we are returning.Our jeweler is still searching for THE rock for us)/www.pricescope.com/idealbb/images/smilies/3.gif[/img]

A special request..... SCRATCH MY NAME OFF THE LIST! /idealbb/images/smilies/appl.gif /idealbb/images/smilies/9.gif /idealbb/images/smilies/appl.gif /idealbb/images/smilies/9.gif /idealbb/images/smilies/appl.gif /www.pricescope.com/idealbb/images/smilies/3.gif[/img]

I'd like to thank everyone for sharing your feelings/thoughts/frustrations/humor.You guys made it a little easier to get thru this waiting period.It has been tough, but fun too.Since I'm addicted to PS, I will hang around and wait for more wonderful e-stories to come.




After looking at so many settings, I decided to design my own. I drew up a picture and gave that to my jeweler. I had thought the setting was going to take longer time to complete. But i was wrong. I'm very happy how they all turned out.






details on e-ring: 6 baguettes, 2 rows of princess (7 in each row) on each side


details on w-bands: 14 princess in each band

[Kamuelamom]

Firerock, CONGRATULATIONS! Sounds like it was a romantic weekend with a romantic setting (I love fireplaces).

Can't wait to see your setting pictures.

 

[fancyrock]

Sorry everyone.... I'm still not very good at posting pictures. I'm having the URL problem. I will try to figure out what I need to fix and will post the pictures later... This is very frustrating. I can see the pix on my own computer, but you guys can't.

 

[reena]

oh, firerock, congratulations!!!

that's wonderful. i can't wait to see your pics. (don't forget, you can't paste in pics that are on your hard drive. you have to actually upload those one at a time.)

 

[sparkler29]

CONGRATULATIONS Firerock!! That's a wonderful story!!! Enjoy living on cloud 9 for awhile!

Can't wait to see the pictures - hurry and get them posted!

The links go to your HD not somewhere online, so they can't work. Do not inser URLs but rather insert picture files (JPG, for ex) and it'll work

Otherwise, send the pack to [email protected]. That will work too.

Congratulations for the mind-reading proposal!

 

[Diamonds4Me]

How romantic! After reading that I can't help but feel that warm fuzzy feeling. It brings back the memories of when my dh2b asked me. Congratulations!

I can't wait to see the pictures

 

[palmbaybabe]

Very romantic, CONGRATULATIONS!
I can't wait to see the pics

Congratulations! but let me see if I can help you upload your pics.

I think the reason why we cant see the pics it's because you are trying to link us directly from your computer. I clicked on the properties of one the pictures (TOP VIEW) and I get this address: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Fansy/My%20Documents/front%20view.jpg which is from your hard drive.

Two ways to get pictures to upload from your computer:

1) upload the picture in photobucket.com so they thave an internet address so you can link us directly to them. Just like you did with your two first pictures (canyon & lobby).

2) upload the picture from your computer and attach it.

I have attached this picture. I clicked on the attach file tab that is located on the left hand side of the screen when one is in reply mode. After clicking on it hit the browse tab. Find your file in your computer and attach. Tada your done! The only catch is that the picture can't be too large, so if it is you are going to have to shrink it. Hope this helps

The baby looks like the Cabbage Patch doll! But what does this have to do with firerock's pictures?

 

[montego]
