Good By

I leave for Utah in two days, I can't tell you how excited I am. I've been waiting for this trip for two months now and it is finally here. I'm cleaning the house trying to get it in order; picking the girls clothes out for school so daddy wont have to dress them. If only I can hire someone to come and do there hair so they will look half decent. O'well, daddy will do his best.
But before I say my good bys I have a little story to tell you.

Back in March (Easter Sunday) Jack-Jack lost my diamond ring. I looked high and low, in places I never Even imagined to look(Jack's diapers, yuck). Nothing showed up, nothing so I gave up and figured they were gone for good.
Even in June on our 10 year anniversary Justin surprised me with thee most beautiful new diamond ring from Jared's. It was gorgeous, sparkly, big and just everything a girl could ask for. After having it for a week I had to make a very hard decision and that was to take the ring back. You are probably thinking why would you do that? Don't ask it was a decision that did not come easy. Even on the day I had Justin take the ring back I sat in the care clutching onto my seat belt crying like a baby. I knew if I let go of the seat belt I would of bolted out of the car, crabbed the ring back and yelled, "you can't take it back, it is mine. My precious!!!" But I didn't, I was strong and I sat in that car feeling guilty because my wonderful husband knew how much I missed my old ring and he bought me another one in replacement and I made him take it back. Again, I ask my self, why would I do that?
You would have to be crazy!!!
Well, this past week I was trying to set my CD player/alarm clock; yes I don't know how to set my alarm clock, it has been over two years since I've last set it.
Anyways, I'm trying to figure it out and I flip it over to see if there is a button I need to push or something and when I did I heard something in the CD player rattle. I turn to Justin and say, "wouldn't it be funny if my ring was in here."
He says, "lets take it apart to find out."
Well after shaking it first out comes a ring that I didn't even know I was missing, I thought it was in my jewelry box. Thanks Jack!! We shake it some more and out comes, two pennies, popcorn seeds,and foam packing material. But that wasn't it we shacked some more and could hear something in there but it wouldn't come out. Justin finally ripped it apart and out come my fist gold bang. I can't tell you what I felt, pure excitement. We shacked some more and out came my second gold band. No way!! Last but not least my diamond ring came out. YES!!!!
After six long months of trying to figure out what Jack had did with my rings we finally found them. Sad to say I was sleeping next to them the hole time. That boy!!! I steel love him though.
And I'm so grateful that I had Justin take back the other rings and that I listened to the spirit. As nice as it would be to have two diamond rings, I'm more happier having my old one back.

I will let you know how my Solo trip goes when I get back.

Oh, wow, I can't believe that. That's a good account of the happenings. I think I would have kept both.

I'm glad to hear you found your old ring. I probably would have done the same thing and taken the ring back, part of me wants a new ring, but I am so attached to the one I have that I wouldn't be willing to replace it. Good luck on your trip.
