Presents all around...

We celebrated the religious holiday of Eid Al-Fitr on Wednesday (it comes after Ramadaan) and so my sister and I decided to get together and buy my paternal grandmother a ring as a present for her, on this festive occasion.

We went to Kay Jewelers, and were extremely short on time, but managed to buy a diamond ring for my grandma and also I ended up buying a marquis-cut emerald ring for my mom (unfortunately, I am currently jobless and so don't have much money and so I ended up buying my mom a lab-created emerald as opposed to a naturally-occurring one, which was a little over 300 bucks =( )

Mom knew that we were buying a ring for my grandma, but my grandma did not know. And my mom had no clue that I was buying her a ring...

So alhamdulillah when we got home, everyone was pleasantly surprised!
