My decision from yesterday to finally propose to my girlfriend is going well so far. I was informed by my mother that when my grandfather passed away and the entirity of his estate was spread amongst the children, part of her windfall was a pair of 1.5 carat ring-quality diamonds. Since Grandma didn't leave me any jewlery (guess why?), she felt it appropriate that one of the diamonds pass to me. This means that I don't have to pay for anything but the setting.

It seems that the Universe, as Paulo Coelho put it, conspires to aid a dreamer. Indeed, it seems that fortune is playing directly towards my future. It seems almost too good to be true; I'm kinda waiting for the other shoe to fall...
