So, to make a long story short, we got the diamonds reset into a band and when I tried it on, it looked HORRIBLE next to my ring. So we were going to get them channel set into another band which would look better, and when we were at the jewelers she told us it would be approx. 100 dollars more (around $1049 total) to reset MY diamonds into a new band. she brought out a band that had the same size diamonds in it, except more of them, and THAT band INCLUDING the diamonds was $999. So I was like, what the hell? let's just buy THIS band, KEEP my diamonds, and then we get a whole bunch more diamonds for LESS money, plus then it includes the lifetime diamond guarantee (if they fall out the replace them for free - my diamonds wouldn't be under that warranty)
so the salesperson checked with her manager, who said yes, we could have a full refund. we went in tonight to buy the band, and the assistant manager took care of us and i tried on about 25 different bands... a LOT of wraps. well, let's just say, as soon as I saw my ring in a wrap, I was smitten. I am a sucker for symmetry so I LOVED it!! Plus it's sooo gorgeous, it totally accentuates my main diamond.
it looks so much better in person, but here are some pics:
After:
NOW I am REALLY excited for the wedding because I want my ring!!!! hehe
We had a ton of fun with my camera tonight... we were setting off fireworks and I suddenly said "Hey wait!!!! Let's take time exposure pictures with sparklers" and no one really was sure what I was talking about until the first picture was taken and everyone was surprised at how cool it is!
More to come, there are like 20 pictures and they are all 3mb a piece so it's taking awhile to upload. Bedtime! Cherry picking in the morning!!! As long as the storms hold out at least.
all.night.drive.

There's a big hearty debate going on over at one of the message boards I post at about paying for other people at restaurants on your birthday.
First I thought the girl was saying that if you have a party, you should pay for everything. I agree. If I am having a party at my house, I am buying the food and drinks. If people offer to bring something, I let them, if not, no biggie.
However, these people were saying that if you invite people out to a restaurant to celebrate your birthday, you are expected to foot the restaurant bill for everyone that comes.
Say you're not made of money. What would you do? What would your friends expect? Everytime we go out to eat with friends we go dutch. Except with my parents, God Bless them, they usually always pay for us and I love that! but I've never been paid by the Birthday celebratee or for or paid for other people on my birthday. I don't think my friends expect it. I'd never expect it if I went out for someone's birthday. If anything, the people at the party split the cost of the Birthday Celebratee's bill so they don't have to pay for anything. After all, it is their birthday, and that's an easy gift for them.
We ordered me a new band with bigger diamonds today so nick is letting me keep and wear the original band on my right hand :) Woohoo i love jewelry. I got new tanzanite earrings today too for my 'something blue'

More diamonds are always better but I need some advice because I am honestly not sure what to do.
Option #1... keep the band that came with the engagement set (well, I'd keep it anyway, but I mean use it and only it as my wedding band
Here's both in B&W so the gold band doesn't confuse anyone :)
I really think I like #2 better, especially seeing the B&W picture. I just don't want to be too gaudy :) Ok, who am I fooling, what do i care?? hehe
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker.
The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was ill and dying. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day,I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.
Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped
up, "I know why."
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The six-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like: When
loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the
opportunity to go for a joyride. Allow the experience of fresh air and
the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want what lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
