Hi! Here's my incredibly long-winded intro

Now.. how can I completely forget about the ring so I can be surprised??? I guess I need to stop coming on here and looking at all the eye candy (like maebelle's ring- just saw it and I love it!!)

Haha. You can't. But you can try to put it out of your mind. As side as I am that I can no longer ogle my ring, it's better. Have him hide it. And just bow out from this point out. Let the rest be up to him. It'll help.

Thanks gatorblue, sorry for causing any anxiety

You won't be entirely surprised, but who really is? I'm still super-excited, and I like being "in on it" as opposed to some of my friends, who had no idea, but all of US knew before she did!

Agreed. I'd rather be *slightly* less surprised and be in on it.

Update!!!

We went to look at settings today - I didn't think we were going to find 'the one,' but we did! In 30 days (or possibly less), the finished ring will be in SO's hands - almost 1 year to the day since we first looked at rings. (Not that I've been keeping track or anything... haha.)

The setting is a Scott Kay "Heaven's Gate" (the one Tacori sued them over). The jeweler even colored the sample's CZ with a blue Sharpie so I could see what it would look like with my stone! So funny.

Here's a pic from another jeweler:

So excited!

gatorblue! Did the ring come in!? Do you love it!? I hope you're happily engaged, but if you aren't yet, I hope you're hanging in there with the wait! Let us know how it's going!
