Weekend Shenanigans: Ring[less] & More

Happy Monday blog friends!

One more week until this girl is free from school.

Until then, I'll be cramming last minute lessons, grading papers & planning for our party.

I may need a Starbucks salted caramel hot chocolate to keep my stress level under control!

Here's how our weekend went.

{ FRIDAY }

I was SO excited for Friday to come. 

We were finally picking up my new engagement ring, after the original ring nightmare that we had been dealing with for months. 

I was finally going to be "engaged" again.

 But no.

My dumb finger had to stand in the way.

The ring they ordered is too small.

Apparently, Neil Lane doesn't do quarter sizes.

It's either 4.5 or 5.

And guess who is right in the middle?

Yep. Me.

You wouldn't think it would be that big of a difference.  

But when I wore it for a day, and I went to take it off...

I needed soap, water & Cody's strength to pull it off my finger.

Eventually, the ring slid off - along with THE SKIN AROUND MY KNUCKLE.

I balled. Like a baby.

So now, I'm ringless again until we figure out yet another solution.

Lucky me.

{ SATURDAY }

My sister and I headed to my aunt's house to eat lunch together and decorate her Christmas tree. It was fun and festive, despite another rainy Saturday.

My attempt at posing her. [Sorry Esther - had to! :) ]

Once Whitney and I left there, we did some Christmas shopping with my mama.

I had my first Starbucks salted caramel hot chocolate. And I'm in LOVE! 

{ SUNDAY }

Cody and I did a little Christmas shopping of our own!

Well, we really just pointed out stuff that we wanted. :D

But I did buy these little babies!

Welcome to my childhood.

I needed "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" for a lesson we're doing this week, but the box set looked even better. And I just couldn't pass up the other one!

Soooooooo. I gave in.

Thanks Target, for making me purchase something I don't really need once again.

I hope everybody's weekend was fun and full of Christmas festivities!
