Miracle of miracles! My ring has come back! Thanks to a very honest old lady named Glenda. She found my ring at the CVS in Huntsville and worked very hard to contact me and return it. My mom has it currently but it will be returned to my finger when we visit for Asher's bday party. Hallelujah!
Saturday I lost my wedding ring. Needless to say, I am rather miserable about it. Austin worked so hard for that little bit of gold and diamond. Maybe if I do as Oprah says and put it out to the Universe then it will come back to me. . . but I have never really put much faith in her.
For Valentine's Day this year we traveled to Huntsville. (Obviously for the free babysitting!)
Saturday night I wore a new dress custom made by my mom! Austin took me to dinner at a small restaurant in downtown square The Phoenix Bistro. It was very romantic and had excellent service. Austin ate a huge steak and I had catfish with shrimp and grits. Yum!
Austin gave me a gorgeous gift , like always. It is a freshwater pearl necklace. The pearls are a shimmering chocolate. I also received pink tulips. He bought them from a fundraiser for First Things First, a non profit organization dedicated to strengthening families and marriages in Tennessee.
When Austin returned home from work yesterday neither Asher or I were home...and he found this sign laying in the flower bed.
Can you say scary? Whoah. Needless to say, he was a little freaked out.
When he called me I didn't believe him at first and then I told him I didn't want him to go inside.
Whoo-ooo-ooo!
Today, I was relieved when I spoke to my neighbors because I found out that it was from last week when a little girl across the way built a snowman. When the sun came out she made this sign for him. It must have blown in front of our door.
"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disapear all too soon and that you will - to your suprise - miss them profoundly."
