Last night, we caved in and put up our Christmas tree, but were disappointed when all three strands of lights died. A late night run to Wal-Mart solved that problem, but the look still wasn't complete, since we decided to ditch the old, cheap ornaments we had been using since our first Christmas together (they were plastic, Dollar Tree bulbs). So, today we went to Lowe's and bought some new, pretty ones. Finally, this afternoon, our tree was finished.
Justin and I also went to run a few errands today, which included stopping at Zales to have my rings cleaned. While we were there, I tried on several wedding bands.
I should pause for a moment to explain why, after three and a half years of marriage, I would try on wedding bands. Justin told me - before the new car - that for Christmas, he wanted to "upgrade" my gold band to a diamond one. I was ecstatic, but agreed to put off the purchase when we decided to buy the car.
That said, we didn't plan to buy a new wedding band today. I just wanted to try a few on to get an idea of what I liked. Everything was pretty, but nothing stood out as "the one." I decided to try on just one more... and there it was. It looked perfect next to my solitaire. A simple, dainty diamond band. It was beautiful! We had the information written down so that we could come back for it later, but then we realized that, thanks to the big after-Thanksgiving sale they were having, the ring was 40% off. How could we pass up a deal like that?
So, we bought it!!! It had to be sent off to be sized, and I won't have it for a couple more weeks. I know the anticipation is going to kill me! I would post a picture, but the one I picked isn't available through the website, so you're just going to have to wait!
Between our awesome new car and my amazing Christmas gift, not to mention the fact that my family will be here in a mere 25 days, this holiday season is shaping up to be one of the best EVER! Let the fun begin! :)
Love and Lattés,
Katie
