Checking out rings

Making all the preparations for getting married helps us get used to the idea of it. I mean, we've been together for almost seven years, and lived together for the last four years, but we still feel all funny and grown up contemplating this whole husband-wife thing.

Yesterday we went to the little jewelry shop on Como to check out wedding bands. It was the first time we've ever (EVER) looked at rings, and it turned out to be really fun. The lady was really nice...I don't know why I bothered to put on nice clothes since I never even took off my big jacket (it was freezing yesterday), and Sean had on his big brown work overalls...but the three folks in the shop were very friendly and she just gave us a bunch of photo books filled with rings the jeweler had custom-made and also rings they could send out for. Sean ended up finding the one we liked best and the lady smiled and was all, "Wow! That's amazing that you agree on one so easily...so many couples come in here and it takes them hours to find one they can agree on." She probably says that to everyone, but we walked out feeling kind of giddy about the whole thing. We didn't buy anything, but we are going to go someplace bigger to try on a few more styles and then probably go back to the small Como Ave place to buy something. I believe that when you're on the right path, things fall into place...it feels like that right now.
