Ring Ring Ring

Sooooooooooo. On Monday we got the pleasure of spending the day with Michael's mom Paula. It was absolutely fabulous to see her. She came up because she wanted to do a few things: mainly check out some potential rehearsal dinner sites and shop for wedding bands.

We went to two places next to the Limestone Club. Columbia Steak House, which is a mere two doors down from the site, and Jonathon's, the restaurant inside the Gratz Park Inn. We loved Jonathon's, but it was a little more expensive than we were planning to pay. So, Columbia Steak House has officially been booked for the dinner.

That took about an hour, and then off we went to the mall. Michael was gonna be getting some new clothes for his birthday, so we figured we'd check ou

t the jewelry places in the mall. One stop shop! So we headed into the first one we found, which happened to be Zales.

We both got our fingers sized and looked at our options. Michael ended up going with a really nice dark grey tungsten ring. Tungsten is the kind that won't scratch or chip, so if you use your hands a lot, is real good for that. But it's ALSO not the one that won't cut or shatter (that's titanium) so if his finger were to swell up we wouldn't have to cut the whole finger off. Always a plus. I just went with a basic gold band, something that will go really well with my engagement ring, and compliment it nicely.

As you can see, mine was ready to come on home with me! And we sent me engagement ring off to be sized, so I feel a tad naked right now without it. Shouldn't be too much longer before I get it back! Michael's ring won't be in for another week or so. With tungsten, they have to mold it to the correct size. Not so easy to size in store. But soon. :)

Oh, look at that. It's like looking into the future, haha.
