Jean Jonas in my mom's kitchen!!!I got a surprise visit from the dream patrol at my meeting yesterday!!!! I was in total and complete shock!!!

I had been rushing all day and when I got to my mom's house (I hold my meeting there because her kitchen, dining room and living room are all linked and open so she has lots of space) most of my girls were already there. My Director was on her way, she said she wanted to meet all of my new recruits. I started my meeting with recognition, then moved on to training and we were about to start the cooking portion when all of a sudden the door opens up and in walks Jean Jonas, Al Fournier and Valerie Muzquiz along with a camera crew and photographer. I was floored, speachless and all I could do was hold my hand in front of my wide-open mouth!!!

I had joked with my Director about how Jean Jonas would never come to the "hood". :) When I saw that the highest recruiter had recruited 10, I knew I didn't make dream patrol. I didn't care I was surprised I recruited that many myself and was just happy with that. They announced that they were there because I was #1 in the Hispanic Market. (whooohoooo!!) It was a truely amazing night. Everyone there was so pumped with Jean's energy, most of my team was interviewed. Someone called my husband so he showed up in a suit and tie (when he was wearing bb shorts before!) It was just amazing. :bugeye:

I had goosebumps on top of goosebumps! :) It would have been nice to know though, I would have plucked my eyebrows and combed my hair. :rolleyes: Jean said the pictures would appear in the December issue. Most likely the Spanish version though.

I forget to come into the Director chefsuccess. :) Thank you!

Well I can tell you that the pressure is on!! After getting a visit like that you feel like you have to live up to it. It is a good motivator!
 
curious if you went with a diamond or something else?
 
Sapphire... Don't like the politics behind diamonds... unless they're those nifty engineered ones I remember reading about in Wired magazine some time ago.
 
Diamond

Princess cut with small princess cut diamonds on the band and the Wedding Band is small princess cuts too.

When DH proposed he bought the diamond and had it set in a plain solitaire setting that way we could go back and pick out the wedding set together.
 
Yes- a diamond although that was quite a long time ago. And a petite one. I've been offered an upgrade over the years but I treasure the original one.
 
Diamond.... also a petite one, but i'm deff. not complaining. then we picked out a wrap for it.
 
we went with diamond as well. I have two wedding bands one on top and one below the e-ring..both are a row of diamonds. dh did a very good job with it.

I am getting the top ring (with diamonds) for my 10 year anniversary in 3 years. I want it to match my wedding band.

Well it won't really be 7 until June 2nd. But thanks!!
 
My engagement ring was my great grandma's ring and has beloved engraved in it. My band was my great grandfathers ring and is engraved with his initials and their wedding date Dec 3, 1910.

Oh that is sweet!
 
Mine is a diamond that is a pear shape with round rubies on either side. My wedding band is plain and then on the Christmas that followed our October wedding my dh gave me a band that has diamons and rubies that match my ring. I love my set but wish it was set in white gold, I have a friend that has some of her jewerly dipped but I don't want to do that. I might have the stones put in the same setting but white gold some day.
 
I wouldn't ever change a thing about my ring. My husband picked it out by himself and that is HUGE!!!;)
 
I have a diamond but we are not married yet or even planning the wedding at this point... too much to think about, we are happy without the paperwork... but anyway, I think I want to have his wedding band engraved on the inside... it's going to say.."PUT IT BACK ON!" LOL
