We just celebrated our 7th anniversary and had a wonderful anniversary get-a-way to a theme suite that we won when Kelly called into the radio to nominate me for time-out-Tuesday (you nominate someone you feel is overly stressed to take a "time-out" and recoup). We were so excited but just before we left I noticed my ring was missing from my night stand--I even hid it behind the lamp so the kids wouldn't notice it! Haela said she didn't play with it so then we knew Enoch was the culprit! We tore the house (and the dorm lounge that is connected to our house) apart but to my dismay we could not find it ANYWHERE! So we left for our anniversary celebration empty-handed. I tried to not think about it and just have fun--and we did. But when we came home we tore the house and lounge apart again and still...NO RING! The cost wasn't making me as sick as the sentimentality of it..it is my WEDDING RING! So we continued to say prayers to help us find it--and I was beginning to lose hope as I looked in the littelist nooks and cranny's and could not find any sign of it. Then today one of the dorm girls came in the lounge with her brother that was visiting. They picked out a movie to watch and then moved the couches closer to the TV. Then...the brother stopped and said, "there is a ring on the floor"! At that moment I knew it was mine--but it didn't make sense...we moved those couches and dug through the cushions MANY times! But this boy said it was caught on the torn lining and then just came lose the further he moved the couch. I could have kissed this boy--but knew it wouldn't be appropriate so I gave him candy instead and told him he just made my LIFE! I couldn't stop jumping in excitement! I am SO happy the Lord blessed me with a little miracle today and I have my wedding ring back! April--I hope yours ends up on your doorstep some day!
