here's the ring I fell in love with yesterday

I found what I wanted!

Nearly a month ago, Derek started talking about how he found out that he could exchange his ex's engagement ring at Zales and sort of use it as a down payment on a new ring, with some stipulations. I thought it was a great idea. He suggested we find a Zales and look around. So, after dinner, we were off to Bay City. When we got there, I only found one ring that I liked. I got home and looked up reviews on it. Every single one of them had diamonds fall out of the sides!! I'm sorry, but I don't want to have my ring in the shop half my life! He came up again the next week, and we were celebrating V-day early. He actually asked me if I wanted to go ring gazing some more. I said sure! But, how we timed out dinner and our movie, it didn't work so well and we never went. I was a little bummed, but I kept looking online for anything I would like. A few days ago, I decided I had never looked at Medawar Jeweler's before and wanted to check it out. I finally found what I was looking for. So last night, I asked Derek if we could pop in to Medawar here in Jackson. He said sure. It took me a while to find what I had found online, but it was there! I tried it on and it fit perfectly. (its a sign, I just know it!) It was originally over $2000, but on sale for $1600! Now, mind you, the diamond is a little small for my taste. No, really, the diamond looks too tiny for the ring setting, it needs to be bigger. But everything else on it was perfect. It even came with the wedding band. The lady gave me all of the information on it, and her card. We left there with me nearly crying because it is possible that I can actually find what I want!

blogging finds its way into paper writing time!

Here I am, yet again...procrastinating with homework. There are so many other things I would rather be doing than Environmental Event logs for Geography. One would most definitely be go to sleep. Another may possibly be searching for the perfect ring. Mind you, I was able to find the perfect ring...but it has a not-so-pretty price tag that Derek wasn't so willing to pay! (I wouldn't expect him to) OOH...baby names. I love dreaming about baby names. Trying to figure out what would go with his last name. Day dreaming...that sort of thing. I may be more at terms with the fact that I am not getting done with school for another two years but that doesn't mean I won't stop dreaming!!! :) I would also rather be watching Glee or Greek. Anything besides this stupid log!!! Although, the article I'm writing about is pretty interesting. Scientists were able to videotape an underwater volcanic eruption occuring! They've never been able to do that before, and the footage is sweet! http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/12/18/volcano.underwater.explosion.pacific/index.html#cnnSTCText <--put that into your browser and check it out! Ok, I guess it's back to work!!!
