I'll likely still post here a bit, but I felt like I needed a new blog as I embark on the crazy journey of marriage, (hopefully someday) parenting and life in Jersey!

Brokeback Diamond
R and I recently went back to the jeweler who designed my engagement ring to choose a wedding band design. We settled on a lovely thin princess cut infinity band and placed our order. The jeweler then asked if I wanted him to clean and tighten up my engagement ring, so I handed it to him for a quick tune up. He immediately sits down and says, I hate to tell you this, but you broke a diamond.
I WHAT????
I have a 3 stone princess cut engagement ring and somehow one of the side stones got a crack on it inside. I had noticed it had turned cloudy, but I assumed it was just dirty. Apparently when you break a diamond, that's what happens, it doesn't necessarily chip, but it loses its clarity. THANKFULLY my ring is 100% insured so we were able to get it fixed immediately. Unfortunately it means I have to be ring-less for a week.
Anyone else have a traumatic wedding or engagement ring story to share?

Hi there. Remember me?
I took a little unplanned hiatus, but I'm feeling the bloggy itch again so here I am.
What have I been up to? A LOT of wedding planning, cooking, couponing and weight GAINING. Also I got an iphone.
Ok I think you are all caught up now!
Next up: why I'm not wearing my engagement ring this week.
