First I woke up to a phone call from the jeweler. For everyone who hasn't been following - Long story short - FH proposed in Aug of 06 but since we've meet I've been telling him I wanted to design my own engagement ring. So when he proposed he just bought me a pretty ring but not an ering and he insisted on me getting a 'real' one and designing it since I had mentioned that I wanted to. Well once the pressure was on me I had no idea what I wanted lolz. I pushed it off for a while, I had a few pictures and ideas though. We went to meet the jeweler about two weeks ago but he didn't have anything that caught my eye. He got some new diamonds the other day and called FH to let him know. So today he called at 11 in the morning and said he was coming in just for us to look at it - so we had no choice but to go look lolz. I fell in love with the stone and we ended up putting all my pictures and ideas together and coming up with the perfect ring! I am so excited!! It'll be done in a week but I have no clue if FH will give it to me then
Then since we were in Wedding mode we decided to go look at another RH hall. We went into New Rochelle to see Greentree which we didn't get to see on our last trip. It's a really pretty place and the BM was really nice and really trying to work with our budget. The whole time though I had The Surf Club in the back of my mind. So when we left I deceided to stop by. I really wanted to see the beach with the sun still out because last time I didn't get to. Well I got that feeling ALL over again!! We caught the BM as he was leaving but he still took time to show us around and talk to us for a little while. He is going to work within our budget and I can't wait! We are 99% sure we are going to book. FH just wants to see one more place first but I should be booking within the next week or two!!!
Then I called a photographer and made an appt to meet with him!! He had the dates I am considering still available so I was so excited!!!
It took me long enough to get my butt in gear but I finally feel like all my researching and ideas are coming to life! It's so exciting and scary!!! lolz

We did things like that too. We had the RH booked the day before he asked. Everyone at work thought I was crazy, but I didn't want to tell them I knew it was coming. He had asked my parents for my grandmother's stone weeks before, so I felt comfortable booking the RH we had fallen in love with.

Wow! How awesome. I'm so glad you got your ring squared away. Keep us posted. Can't wait to see pictures. Happy to hear you were able to see your RH with the beach setting. Everything seems to be falling into place for you both.
