Thanks to everyone for your well wishes. I know all too well the ranching life, more than prepared for it. As frustrating as it is, its something I love. I adore this man, love him so much! Look forward to seeing everyone in August!

I just want to point out that a ring is optional, both for the wedding and for the engagement. Many couples choose to be wise about saving and keep things simple. it's the commitment that counts, not a piece of jewelry. Personally, I don't think an engagement ring is necessary. Nice, maybe, but nothing to bankrupt oneself.

belonging to a church that doesn't believe in any jewelry, I got my wife a watch for engagement, but neither of us have rings. As a mechanic I wouldn't wear one anyway, but sometimes I wonder if she should have one with all the guys that come up and hit on my wife at the store etc. when she doesn't have the kids with her, and sometimes when she does.
