A ring and a vacation coming soon

You may have missed the tweet about this ring while we were at the beach a few weeks ago.  I’ve been wanting a new set for a long time.  Ever since I had Lexi (I think) my original wedding set breaks me out.  I consider it a sign. A 2 carat would be expensive but not the ones from this site.

Well, I’ve been thinking our ten year anniversary is the perfect time to “upgrade”.  The store at the beach was the very first store I started looking in and I fell in love with this ring.  It’s actually three rings.  I walked back and forth down the cases and both times down picked out the same ring.  We talked numbers and it was definitely in our budget…actually only a few hundred dollars than he paid for the first one and he got that on a steal back when we were young.  Ok enough hints, we got this one for 1K!!  Can you believe it?  It has a multi-stone diamond on the top so it’s not as if it’s one huge stone but from a distance it looks like it!  I have no idea what the total size is or the clarity or any of that.  All I know is when he brought it back from the jeweler today after getting it sized, it fit like a glove.  Scott wouldn’t let me look at it again because he’s planning to give it to me this weekend when we go on a little weekend trip for our anniversary.

Our anniversary is not really until the 8th but he’s working next weekend.  This weekend we’ve booked two nights at Grove Park Inn in Asheville.  We’ve booked dinners for both Saturday and Sunday nights and brunch for Sunday.  Saturday we have scheduled a couples’ massage and plan to spend most of the day in the Spa.  That is literally part of the Spa we’re going to in the picture.  Wow, I can’t wait to get there!

The girls will be staying with my mom this Friday night and Saturday night with Scott’s mom so they are all covered and excited about it.  I think it will be a great weekend for all of us!
