Hi!
I know how you feel....It's always so hard to come back :-(
I keep trying to remind myself that every day that goes by is a day closer to D-day....
I really hope we'll receive those packets soon....Did you call the Embassy in Montreal directly to know that your packet was sent on March 17?

True true, just the shape and size of the diamonds are different...sometimes there's a little bit more detail in between the stones, etc.
But yes, they are generally the same.

Sorry you're feeling so down missing your guy. I REALLY know how that feels and it really sucks. You'll be together soon though and it'll all be worth it. Sounds mushy but I feel like I appreciate my guy more because we had to do long distance for so long.
Thanks for posting that pic MarilynP! I had no idea what one was. My next question would be...why is it called a tennis bracelet? It's not like Laura is going to be playing tennis in it! BTW Laura, it IS beautiful...just like you!

I found this on wiki.. don't know if it is true or not though.....

The in-line thin diamond bracelet that features a symmetrical pattern of diamonds is called a tennis bracelet. According to Diamond Bug, in 1987 Chris Evert, the former World No. 1 woman tennis player and the winner of 18 Grand Slam singles titles, was playing in the U.S. Open. She was wearing an elegant, light in-line diamond bracelet, which accidentally broke and the match was interrupted to allow Chris to recover her precious diamonds. The 'tennis bracelet' incident sparked a new name for the item and sparked a huge jewelry trend. Tennis bracelets continued to be worn by various tennis stars like Serena Williams and Gabriela Sabatini.

Thanks Carla!!!
WOW, Marilyn!!! That's a neat bit of information there....I don't really play tennis and I don't think I'd want to wear it if I was playing because of that reason!...weird!!!
LOL Thanks for the info!
