Jessie's ticker

The reason for Jessie's "Yay"!

Date #19 was my favorite... and the reason for starting that whole thing in the first place. For me, with any big commitment I make -- buying a car, booking a holiday, dating a person exclusively -- I need to do enough research beforehand to save myself from "buyer's remorse".

So I did. I went out with a lot of really wonderful guys, and learned what I liked and what I didn't, what I consider an important quality and what I don't think really matters.

Anyway, Jared and I have dated for about 2 months since then, and 2 months before then, and most of the time in between all my other dates (which he knew about, by the way). We've never talked marriage, though a girl always hopes that's where it's heading (and if she doesn't, that's a sign right there to unplug and run)! So I hoped, but didn't really expect that he'd give me *this* on Monday night. :D

So, you don't know me, but I'm Jes' friend. I just wanted to say CONGRATS and I love your ring! My ring has a kite setting too. I absolutely love it! :-) Congrats again.

Beautiful ring! I love it. The simplicity fits you absolutely! Wish I was there with you to Ooh! and Aah! over it, but alas, I am too far away! Love you, and Congratulations!
