Buying A Ring

Yesterday I spent some time looking around the mall at jewelry shops with Sarah for an engagement ring. I now know about carats, clarity, colour, and cut. It was quite interesting really.

We got engaged on Tuesday 19th July in the evening at Piha. It was an amazing setting. But - you had to be there, and I wouldn't have wanted that. We delayed telling people since my parents were away, and we wanted to tell our families before anyone else.

As well as being extremely happy, I am somewhat scared. It is a big responsibility to commit to a person for a whole lifetime, and I do take it very seriously. I suppose one would have to be fairly slaphappy to not have some feeling of fear.
