Ladies,
Just a quick update for those interested!
I was following his rules of staying mum on the subject of engagement and it so paid off! We went ring shopping and we picked out my dream ring! I am very glad we both went because we were there over an hour trying to agree on something! He thought the one I wanted was too small but he realized I loved it. Here it is:

Cell phone pic, sorry for the quality I just had to share! Now I just have to wait!!

@lthai: Thank you! Premarital counseling is just a requirement by our church to be married by one of their pastors. It is just basically prepping you to have a smooth transition into marriage, since my SO and I haven’t lived together. It’s not as bad or weird as it sounds :).

I wish you could see the detail a little more, its not a round or square halo but more like a square with the edges rounded. It’s amazing. Once I get it I will pst better pics 🙂

@SeattleMolly: my reaction exactly! All of my friends have half carat center stones so he was all freaked out that this wasn’t (its 3/8 of a carat) but it looks much bigger!
