Once was lost....Now is found!!!

So about 2 years ago when Beau and I had just moved down to Florida, we stayed at my mom's for a few days (they were still living in Tallahassee at the time). Beau and I slept in my sister Chelsea's room which was a complete disaster! Typical of a 12 yr old girl! :) I always take my jewelry off to sleep including my wedding set. I had gotten up the next morning to take a shower and when I came back into the room Olivia had been playing with my rings. I found my engagement ring, but I was never able find my wedding band. About a week later my mom was moving to Pennsylvania so I held out hope that they would find it either while packing to move or un-packing when they got to PA. No such luck they never found it. After about a year and a half with no ring, Beau finally bought me a replacement for Christmas.

Well, now my parents live in Missouri and last night while I was putting some things away in my sisters room I noticed a gold ring on her floor between the bed and the nightstand. It looked a little to real for something my sister would own, as I picked it up I had this light bulb realization that "Oh my goodness that's my ring!!!" I went to my mom and she told me that she had found it a while ago in this house that they are in currently, they didn't know who it belonged to, and weren't even sure if it was real or not! I thought that was pretty funny because it has 14 diamonds in it and it is a lot heavier then a fake ring.:) I was so happy to find it! I had always planned on eventually having to bands to go on either side of my engagement ring, but when we bought the replacement band I opted for a different style and white gold instead of yellow (my engagement ring is 2toned and my old band is yellow). So now it doesn't exactly match or look right. Anyway, I am just so excited to have it back! Prayers are answered even if it takes 2 years!!!

That is crazy luck! I'm glad you are off the MIA list--I was missing your posts. I am only slightly bummed that we didn't get together when you were in Utah (I'll forgive you this time :) ). Can't wait to hear what #3 is gonna be!
