I have always tried to be a unique individual in everything I do.  Whether it be my hair style, my clothing or the type of car I drive I try to be a wolf, rather than another one of the sheep.

When looking for an engagement ring, I didn’t want to buy something that everyone else had.  I figured that if I picked this one girl out of the three billion or so women on the planet, she must be special.  A special girl needs a special ring - a common ring just wouldn’t do.

So, I have been shopping around for loose diamonds in an attempt to find the perfect stone.  She has small hands, so I am not looking for a lot of carats, rather I want to find the stone that will go perfectly with the setting I designed.

I have been driving around, going to different stores in search of the perfect diamond.  I checked out some Houston diamonds and nothing really caught my eye.  But when I went to a San Antonio diamonds showroom, after looking at many diamonds, I found the perfect one. 

We agreed on the cut and the setting that the ring will be placed in.  I can come pick up the ring in about a week - which will be early enough for me to propose on our first anniversary - December 18th.  I cannot wait to see her face - I know she will like it.
