Miracles

So...those who know me well know that I often find little miracles that happen in my life...I seem to find the most around Christmastime and term them my "Christmas miracles." This past week, I witnessed another miracle...seeing as it's around Memorial Day, I'll call it my "Memorial Day miracle." Last October, I lost my wedding ring. My finger size fluctuates like nobody I've ever known and so as soon as it starts to get cold each winter, my fingers get really small. One such night this happened and my rings slipped off. I heard the wedding band hit the pavement as I was coming back from Walmart around 10pm and found it, but could never find the actual wedding ring with the diamond. I called Walmart for weeks and they finally told me even if someone found it, they probably wouldn't have returned it...sad. Snow came and so searching the lawn was impossible. When my sister-in-law Kayla was in town last week, she searched for hours on her hands and knees through the grass...but to no avail. We finally had to mow the lawn and listened for the ring being clipped but again..nothing. Lynsey King (best friend from college) showed up Thursday (was it??) with a metal detector and after an hour of searching and me giving up hope...SHE FOUND MY RING!!! I still am reeling with excitement about it. It we hadn't found it, I told Ty I didn't want a new ring because that one was special...it was my actual wedding ring and so it would be silly to get a replacement...plus it was a heart-shaped diamond and a sacrifice to buy in our tight early marriage days.I am now taking much better care of it and wearing an elastic band over it every time I wear it out...just in case...thanks Lyns!! .
