The Ring

Those of you who know Jason know that he never makes a decision without doing his research first. Whether he's deciding which is the best flat screen on the market, comparing the ingredients in different dog treats or calculating the perfect combination of water, sunlight and fertilizer for the plants in our garden, he doesn't make a move until he feels confident that he's gathered all of the information necessary to make the most informed decision possible.

After being aware of (and benefiting from) this habit for so many years, it came as no surprise to me that when he proposed, not only did he give me the most dazzling diamond I've ever seen, but he also gave me a long lesson on the "4 C's" of diamonds - cut, clarity, color and carat. I won't go into details (I'm sure if you really want to know Jason would be more than happy to share his 4 C's knowledge with you), but lets just say that the diamond is nearly perfect. At first I was hesitant to post pictures because I knew they wouldn't do the ring justice, but thanks to my beloved Canon Rebel (another well-researched-by-Jason purchase), they turned out better than expected. They still don't show the beauty and sparkle of the ring, but I love it too much not to share!
