Ring, ring, ring... Happy Bday Annika!!!

Today Annika turned a year older and became a little wiser. She got a cake and some overdue rings (for less than half the price we would've paid in Sweden!)

Since here in Mexico the engagement rings are given when you marry and the wedding ring is given when you get engaged (yes, confusing, isn't it?), we had a hard time explaining to people what we were looking for, but eventually we found something that was just right and we got it. And since my mother's sisters came along, they intimidated the store clerks into giving us a nice discount; they even engraved the rings with our names and the date of the engagement. So, we got engaged with our new rings as soon as we got back home and now I'm no longer a pojkvän but a fästman!

By the way, Annika keeps putting on the wedding ring just to try it out and "forgets" to take it off. :)

Tomorrow: more dresses... and because the aunts are now involved, I'm strictly forbidden from looking at Annika when she tries them on... Bummer.

Keep praying for us and that God will show us what His will is for our lives.
