Welcome to 2011, friends!
I suppose I need to account for my two weeks of vacation? How's this: several lively holiday parties, approximately 36 hours on the road, visits with family and friends in Seattle, Olympia, & Portland, the most beautiful prime rib I've ever seen (and eaten), a pile of presents, an epic New Year's Eve bash in the winter wonderland of Spokane, many champagne toasts, and...
A RING!
My ring is an Edwardian solitaire from 1915, which we fell madly in love with at Lang Antiques. To me, it's perfect, and proof that the best gifts come in small packages!
I hope you all like talking about weddings, because we've jumped into planning mode and I can think of little else. Cheers to 2011! I can't wait to start sharing ideas...

i also got engaged over the christmas holiday, december 22nd to be exact! needless to say, best christmas ever for me as well :)
another coincidence between the two of us: i know that you live in or near san francisco. and my fiancé is moving out there in a couple of weeks to go back to college! i'll be moving out there to join him in may!
oh, oh! i just noticed you said your ring is from 1915. mine was my great-grandmother's from around 1920. :P
Congratulations! And it's a beautiful ring.
Thanks to all for your kind wishes!
Andrea... That's uncanny! Congratulations to you as well! Will you be coming to visit the Bay Area? We'd love to meet up with you sometime :)
congrats ! what a beautiful ring !
Oh wow - that ring is absolutely breath-taking. I mean it literally, actually took my breath away for a split second. I just started reading your blog, but I must say, Congratulations and Best Wishes!
strangeaslife... I experience that same feeling every time I look at my left hand. I'm still not used to my new accessory! Thank you, and thanks for reading!
it would be wonderful to meet you! how nice of you to offer!
well, i'm going to job-search from home right now and hopefully get some interviews lined up for march or april. i think of all the things that scare me most about moving across the country is if i'll get a good job or not. i'm not the best at job-searching, especially if it's a place i'm not familiar with at all!
So happy for you. Exquisite ring..and recycled too!
