Picked out my engagement ring today. C. has been shown a picture from the catalog I was given to bring home regarding the wedding jewelery sale going on until the end of the month.

She had the anticipated response, and began singing the praises of my father for covering the remaining balance on it when I do finally go up there to get things sized and such. I just have to wait for him to get his end of things together, and that's all set.

From here, we just need to deal with wedding bands, and then this entire ring thing is done. One less issue to worry about. Which is amusing, since most folks I know that are married didn't even deal with wedding bands until really close to their wedding date. Our's is tentatively set for June, so we're waaaaay early on this one.

The next big hurdle with planning will be the invitations. I'm still dawdling with going out looking for stuff to put them together myself. All I can do right now is estimate costs, anyway. Probably won't even touch actually starting to deal with picking up supplies and working out the rest of it until after Christmas.

And I still have to tell my mother that I'm getting married. Oh God, that's going to be nerve wracking. She's probably going to throttle me for not telling her until well after the fact. I just keep getting distracted by loads of other stuff, and I'd kind of like to actually have my ring on my finger when I talk to her face to face about this.

Everything else that needs to get dealt with revolves around school, at this point. I anticipate a nice TAL purchase somewhere in the not too distant future, so I can get rid of some of my scatter-brained problems with not being able to concentrate on an as needed basis.
