Belated Merry Christmas!!

[misora]

Had a wonderful holiday! Mom & stepdad just left after 3 days, and now our house feels a little empty.

Our haul this year was amazing:

- baby clothes and blankets from Dad
- cash (an absurd amount; I think we netted close to $1K this time...sadly, 80% will go into savings for baby!)
- crockpot from bro (I can't wait to cook with it)
- Xbox Kinect system + Dance Central from John's sisters (demo'd it on Christmas day - ohmygod so fun)
- lotions and knicknacks, including some wonderful soaps and belly butter..yummm
- food & drink, of course
- Samsung HD handheld camcorder for John (from me)
- alarm clock & sound therapy system
- rocking chair for the baby's room (from Mom & stepdad)

and this:





1.68 ct. sapphire and diamonds on platinum. He finally made an honest woman out of me. ;)

We decided we'd put off the wedding celebration until after the baby's birth. But for now we'll get the paperwork done, and make it official. (I guess this means I need to change my name. Eeek!)

Congrats! That's really really pretty. :) Is changing your name after you marry obligatory in there? No one does that in here, so I find that tradition quite odd.

Congratulations! (And Merry Christmas of course!)

Lovely ring! Congratulations on...everything! Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas but next year will be even better when there's three of you to celebrate together. It is nice to have one name for the whole family--I'm kind of old fashioned though so I didn't hesitate to take my husband's last name. Changing all your paperwork, id's and credit cards are a bit of pain but well worth it.

HOLY SHIT, CONGRATULATIONS!

And your ring is a replica of Prince William's fiancee's! Sweet!

I really hope I can get married someday, but I have no idea how to meet men. I'm so socially inept. ANYWAY! /ends rambling

MERRY CHRISTMAS, I HOPE IT WAS AWESOME!

LOL I got a nice load, too. Just posted about it on my journal. XD

All good men get Sapphires ^_^ *shows hers* http://shrike.homelinux.org/nucleotides/archives/Shiny.jpg

OMG look at that rock! Congratulations! I'm so very happy for you:) That is a very lovely ring; I too adore sapphires. I'm kinda in favor of a little JP wedding followed with the public wedding with guests. I did it myself with just dinner at our favorite restaurant after and it was nice to have that intimacy of just the 2 1/2of you(bunny's vote is with mommy till it can raise its own hand) before the event to include the rest of the family. I hope you have a Happy New Year!
