A few weeks ago a friend of mine and I went shopping.  He was looking to see if he could get an engagement ring price.  He had been looking around for quite some time, but had never been to the jewelry store that I suggested.  He was very pleased with the cost and decided to buy it.  It was an exquisite ring and I am sure his girl friend will love it.  He plans on proposing to her over the weekend while they go away to their lake house.  I am not sure what he has planned, as he refused to tell me that part.  I am so excited for him.
