The Ring

Varen & I had a fabulous celebratory dinner with JofH & YogaCherryl last night. Finally saw the ring in real life and it is lovely :) Although not your conventional engagement ring, I prefer it to every other engagement ring I can think of - although I'm not sure if I would chose it for myself ... just to ward off any possible future Mr Phillygirl's from rushing out to buy something ;)

People think it's strange, that as a girl I haven't put any thought into my dream engagement ring or wedding (although I may have been picking children's names since I was 12!). I guess it's the skeptical realist in me, I don't want to think about that stuff until I'm given a reason. And surely part of the dream is the man you'll be standing next to? I'm not a believer in painting the picture with a place-holder for whoever it may end up being one day.

Anyway, dinner .... we went to Soulsa because it is a firm favourite of all 4 of us and ideal for celebratory dinners :) We had a truly hysterical night discussing their future accident-prone son, Snorkel - pahahahahahaha, the memory of that conversation has me in tears again! Was fab to see them again :)
