Hi All 
I'd love to be added to the list of Ladies in Waiting!
My SO and I are in our late twenties. We met a little over a year ago and have been inseparable ever since. A few months ago we started talking rings and marriage very seriously, and I know that he's started saving. Initially, I THOUGHT I wouldn't have long to wait, because he was steadily stacking the saving away. However, recently three things happened.
1) He threw me a HUGE birthday surprise event/party and dipped into the savings for it.
2) He then broke his hand the very next day, which has impacted his earning ability at work. and
3) YAY He secured a job in Colorado (where -we realized just after beginning to date- we BOTH want to live)
So, he depleted his savings, then wasn't able to ADD any more to savings because of hand, and NOW he will be dipping into it even further (and possibly depleting it completely) in order to fund our move across 1,300 miles.
So. I am doing a lot of meditating lately. And teaching myself patience.
We went from being on track to get engaged by Spring at the latest to possibly needing to wait until Fall or later.
The upside is that we'll be in Colorado! And that with the increased income, savings might grow more quickly now! Also, more job security!
Ring-wise... I'm a old cuts gal. I WANT to love lower colors, because they look yummy in the old cuts (and easy on the budget, too), but they don't look yummy on my yellow-tinted skin. :/ Anything warmer than an H or I just kinda... blends into my skin.
I am set on a VC setting, but I want to be surprised, so I've given my SO a few options that I'd love (The Emilya in PL, the Alaria Solitaire in RG, or the Jocelyn Solitaire in RG) and I'm hoping for either an VC ACC or an OEC.
Right now I just can't WAIT to get to CO, find a job, and see how much we wind up being able to save away. (I am contributing to the cost because I'm asking for so much)
I love this man so much. I never thought I'd find someone so great, and who's such a great match for all my random weirdnesses! (Whose random weirdnesses I also love!) I just can't wait to start our lives together officially!
We leave for CO in exactly 4 weeks!
