Hey Santa!

So since Doug picked out all of his Christmas presents over the weekend it has been decided that I will also be picking out my own Christmas gift(s) this year. After some careful thought, I have decided that I'd like some jewelry. Nothing fancy. Just something simple that I can wear often. I think a necklace would be my best bet or some diamond stud earrings. I mentioned the idea of jewelry to Doug and you should have seen the look of horror on his face. Apparently he is petrified of buying jewelry. He's afraid he'll pick the wrong thing. Now I tried to tell him that most of what I would love about anything he gives me is just the fact that he picked it out for me, but he didn't believe it. So I've been showing him a few things and I have given him a few criteria for what I am looking for. "White gold, diamond pendant, NO HEARTS!" Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong! I've showed him this, which I really like, but it's a little more then we were planning to spend on Christmas. I've found several cheaper alternatives and we are also going to check out his aunt's store and see if she can't order something for us (mostly she just sells costume jewelry). Maybe if we get a good enough deal, I'll get matching earrings! *sigh* How did he miss out on the jewelry buying gene that his brother seems to have?? Becky has tons of great jewelry from Eric. Maybe Doug should just go shopping with him...
