My girlfriend and I are going ring shopping on Saturday. We both have been planning this for a couple weeks now and our parents know about it. We haven’t told anyone or made any kind of official announcement yet. I have just been itching to tell someone though so I figured that I would post a message up here. We’ll probably make it official in about a month or two. Probably sooner with how excited we both are getting.
