My engagement ring

If you are like me, I knew exactly what I wanted my engagement ring to look like. I had this vision in my head that was no where on pinterest.  I had described it to Eric hoping he would listen carefully and take that into consideration. We ended up looking together [[first time we looked story at the end]] a few times so I could point out what I liked and didn't. I mostly just walked around making comments. All the stores, but one, told us they didn't have what we were looking for. But oh, of course, they could custom make it for us. Which cost more and takes more time. If you have both of those on your side then great! But Eric and I were on a budget and were planning for a quick engagement. The one store we walked into I was describing what I wanted and another consultant heard me. He motioned for us and said he had the perfect idea. He then handed me a gemstone ring. That's right, a beautiful sapphire was in the middle of this ring. But everything else about the ring was exactly what I wanted. I gave Eric a look of "hey check this one out" and we were on our way. I was so thrilled to see the ring again, but with a diamond in the middle, when he proposed! It was such an awesome surprise!

[[cute side story: Eric was so sneaky and cute the very first time we looked at rings. That evening we had dinner at Olive Garden with my family and some friends. Eric and I decided to see a late movie showing of Frozen and had about 2 hours of time to kill before it started. After dinner I asked if he had any idea of what we could do around that town. He started mentioning there was something he had been wanting to check out. I had no clue. As we started driving I was little confused and asked where we were going. He told me he didn't know exactly where it was located but there were a few around...still confused. Eric then pulls into a parking lot and leads me into a store to look at engagement rings! He told me after thinking some about it, he wanted an idea of what I liked and didn't. I was stunned it was actually happening, only after ever talking about it! So exciting and fun! I'll always remember that memory!]]
