I decided I couldn't contribute to the conversation and I want to put off more homework, so I started looking on Pinterest. Goodness, I know how to get myself in trouble while looking at Pinterest. What I mean by this, is I get sucked into either recipes I'll never make or wedding ideas I'll never be able to afford.
While looking at wedding ideas, Eryn suggested looking at engagement rings online. Apparently she already has a couple picked out, so she guided me to a couple of sites.
The best site and the cheapest, was Jared. You can create your own ring in whatever setting you'd like with whatever type of diamond you would like. It's just....fun. Since I love rings so much, it was fun to look at diamonds, especially because I've never owned a diamond before.
I really like the heart-shaped diamonds, mostly from Eryn's guidance. I didn't think I would, but I really do. I also like very clean, very simple rings. I see no point in wasting a ton of money to buy something elaborate when I won't like it anyway. Simple is better.
It's funny how I had never heard of Jared before coming to Des Moines. I just assumed there was Justice Jewelers or Kay Jewelers to choose from.
It's funny how your prospective changes when you transfer to different stages in life. For instance, I never even looked at who had a ring or who was even dating who several months ago. But after hearing stories of people my age getting married, I am almost culture shocked. Almost as if I feel like I should be preparing for that stage of life as well. But then reality hits me and I realize that I am only 20 years old and have so many things to do before even thinking of marriage. Sure, it will be fun, but marriage isn't something you do because it's "fun." You get married because you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone. And you know what, I am in no position to make that decision just yet.
But ask me in a year, and I may change my mind. ;)
