He tells me and I am a bit sticker shocked but whatever.....So he says, its christmas time and I am the mgr and I can work with the numbers. So knowing what my limit was and knowing that I just used a portion of it on her other gifts and that there was no way I could fit that on my card, I figured he was offering a discount. So I said, 'really, your going to cut me a deal?" He said, "Hey, I told you I am the mgr, do you want it or not?" I said, "if you can fit that on my card, consider it sold you have my word as a man." So he says he will be right back. Next thing you know, he comes back and says "Its yours!" I said "really how did you do it." He said, " I just raised your credit limit.
So the next 12 months I had to bring my balance from 4,500 back down to zero.
But it was worth every penny.
In true saleman form.
Are you going to put your ring in one of those air bubble treasure chests? And stick it in your fishtank?

You didn't get in trouble for not having a diamond? Have you set a date yet?

it has two diamonds, one on each side of the opal.
no we have not yet set a date, we plan on doing it whenever we can afford a trip to vegas. sometime within the next 5-10 years. We arent in any rush, I just wanted her to know for sure that even if we dont get married immediatly I want her to be my wife. getting engaged helps any eliminate hidden doubts that could be brought about by the "why hasnt he proposed yet? does he not want to be with me?" type of thoughts. (I doubt Emily has those type of thoughts but I would rather she know that I want her forever than have any doubt ever).
