Tis the season...

for weddings and cupcakes!

I am fortunate enough to have been hired to make cupcakes for a wedding in November. I also have a tasting for a December wedding this weekend!

I can't help but think that my own wedding anniversary is coming up. Thanksgiving was around the corner, and all my immediate family was going to be together for the first time in four years. So my hubs, then boyfriend, and I figured we might as well get married with everyone here.

So in three weeks we got it together. Not much  planning, but I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Daniel was a little upset that we didn't have the means for an engagement ring because it was so last minute and we had just bought a house. I assured him that our 1929 craftsman was my engagement ring and I was just thankful for it. Very few people can live in their ring. But he assured me one day there will be something ridiculous on my finger.

That was almost two years ago. We spent our first anniversary in the hospital with the birth of our daughter, who came along six weeks early, but strong, like ox.

And here we are. In a month I'll have kept a baby alive for a year (no thanks to her daredevil spirit) and have two years of marriage under my belt.

With everything finally slowing down, sans the trying to open a coffeehouse and build a small business, it's back to thinking about that pretty little ring.

Quick sidenote: Not huge on traditional, and I'm leaning towards onyx as the main stone

So here are a couple potentials:

I'm leaning more towards the second one. I'm just worried it's a little too big. The first one, though, does not have the stone set in the ring and I've never been a big fan of that.

Anywhoozle, I'm not very good at getting things done in it's "proper" order, but it all gets done eventually :)

So what do you think?
