How awesome!!  Be sure to take pics of everything.  I can't wait to see what the ring and pendant look like!

We'll be waiting along with you, take lots of pictures.

I totally understand your feeling.  I was that way with my Sunny.  It was hard to wait for her to show up.

Try to get some sleep tonight and dream of your pretty Fancy Yellows. 

I know what you chose for your ring, but I don't remember if you've said what you chose for the pendant... so what will that one look like?

Great choice!  Simple and elegant. Your set will look divine!  Each alike in color but unique in style. I think they will be great together without being matchy matchy!

I hope that made sense. I need to get to bed.  We had severe weather with rotations in the storms causing tornado sirens to go off at about 2:40 am. I didn't sleep much after that.  At any rate I cannot wait to see the photos!

It's tornado season here.  Fortunately where I specifically live we don't see them much.  Just north and south of me though get them more.  So we had some nasty storms but nothing incredibly dangerous.  Just hard to selep though.  I slept like a baby last night though

So.....


today's the day!!!  I bet you are excited!  Oh and how did you sleep last night thinking about them?

If you are still calm I'm impressed.  I have a pair of shoes I ordered from Zappos that are being delivered today.  I'm really excited/anxious for those and they aren't a pretty diamond or two LOL.

Glad you had some diversions though.  I bet it must be nice to have the kids under the same roof again even if just for a little while.

As for tornadoes, the good thing is where I specifically live tornadoes are very rare.  I live in a suburb right next to a major city.  Something about the heat of the city means the storms go north and south of us.  We usually don't get tornadoes, just severe storms.  Other areas of the state I live in are much worse off than we are, but as a whole my state is not as bad as some of the states that you hear on the news so much for tornadoes.  At least I don't think so.  We're more on the edge of tornado alley than really in the deep of it.

A tornado siren here means you turn on the TV and see where the storms are the worst.  They can spot rotation of clouds much better now and really very accurately pinpoint where those who should take shelter live.  It makes it a lot less stressful to me.  We know where is safe and where is not.  Once the storms pass (and they usually aren't long lasting) we can definitely relax.  In fact my son slept through everything from Tuesday night.  No point in waking a child at 3am when nothing is near us.

We also get weekly siren testings so hearing a siren doesn't automatically create panic.  I think when you are used to hearing sirens and doing drills often enough as a kid it becomes less stressful.  Particularly when your area is safer than others.  We take it seriously but it's not horrible.

Pillar of strength?  You should see me when a spider crosses my path

Really none of my friends gets too freaked out by the storms like that.  I think it's what you're used to.  Just like we're used to snow.  It annoys you but you don't get worked up driving in it or anything.  I actually love a good thunderstorm

The idea of real earthquakes freak me out though.  Like the big ones in CA would scare me to death to the point I wouldn't ever want to live there.  Major volcanoes do too! 

Well guess whose been driving with only one eye on the road???  The boxes came just when I was about to leave for an appointment.  So of course I quickley tore open the boxes, threw the ring and pendent (only glancing in the mirror for two seconds and drove away.  Maybe there should be a law against driving with new jewelry on!   I love how they came out!  Of course though, I now see the need for one more project...I have to make a second ring to stack with this one!  I have a little white asscher diamond pendent that I think will look so great next to this yello one.  The wheels are turning... 

I've been taking pictures...I think this one is of the ring...     

This is better!  Still much prettier in person...

 

Congratulations! Enjoy - but perhaps not while driving, at least for a couple of days. You know: keep all the wheels turning.

Congrats, LoveColor.  They're both beautiful.  Wear them in good health.  I think all of us are guilty of admiring our rings while driving.  Be Careful!!!!!!

Oh I am guilty!


Looks like you're starting a nice DBL collection there.  Enjoy!
