Weekend recap + fun news!


Happy Monday!  How darn cute is this photo of a little Mongolian girl + camel?  I saw this, and just thought that it was such a good way to start a new week.  I left for Albany, New York this morning bright + squirrely (thank you to being able to pre-schedule blog posts:)) for work, + I just have my fingers crossed that the roads getting up there aren't too bad from all of the snowfall that came down over the weekend! 

If you are in some of the snow-hit areas, did you guys enjoy the super early dose of winter?  I really did enjoy sitting at home, curled up on the couch, candles burning, hot chocolate in hand, watching the flurries coming down outside. 

In other weekend news, I was sooo excited to wake up Saturday morning to a text message from my friend of eight years back in Los Angeles, Miss EN telling me that her super cute boyfriend is now her fiance!!  She fillled her man in on the sort of ring she wanted, especially because she had her mind set on something different (have you ever seen a black diamond engagement ring??), but she was beyond shocked when he did pop the question + she finally got to see what he had come up with!



Pretty fantastic, I think!  It's so different, + so beautiful, + most importantly....so her.  I cannot wait to see them over Thanksgiving so that I can give them a proper toast + congratulations in person!

If you are engaged/married - were you impressed with the style of ring that your partner picked out for you?  I've always wondered what one should do if they secretly dislike the ring (think Carrie, when Aidan bought her the pear-shaped diamond) If you are not engaged/married - do you know what sort of ring you would love to be given one day?

That ring is seriously beautiful! Never seen anything like it! I got to see my ring before our engagement because it was a family heirloom (that Keith wanted to make sure I liked otherwise he was going to buy me something else) I fell in love with it but he still jokes that when we're rich and famous he's going to buy me something bigger and better so that I can pass this one on again.... no complaints from me ;-)

WOW! That's an amazing ring! P did a great job. We went shopping, I showed him what I liked, and the salesperson was very good at writing down several styles that I liked. He went back, picked out the style I liked the most, and made the diamond even BIGGER ;)

fortunately, rich was sweet enough to take me shopping to get an idea of what i liked and what he liked - if he didn't take me i think i would have been happy with what he picked anyway bc he knows my taste - i dont really know how i would feel if i didn't like it - how terrible would that be?! haha!

congrats to your friend!!

That ring is absolutely stunning. What a perfect & gorgeous find. I'm actually along the same lines as Tamra...my husband picked out the most perfect ring. It actually did make me think he knew what I would like better than I did. I still get compliments on my ring (and hope I always do!).
