A snake did NOT eat my rings!

It is a HAPPY DAY!!!!! I found my rings this morning, thanks to an inspired telephone call from Audra. While she was blow-drying her hair and watching Tanner play with her jewelry it occurred to her that my rings might have slipped into the back of my jewelry box (not behind it, but inside it behind the drawers). I immediately tried to see if she could be right and after completely taking apart my jewlery box I FOUND MY RINGS!!!! I also found a very sentimental necklace David gave me. (It is a marble pendant with the Chinese characters that mean "eternity" engraved on it. He brought it home from his mission in Taiwan for his future wife and gave it to me right after we were married). So, the three pieces of jewelry that mean the most to me are now restored to my keeping and, as you would imagine, I am thrilled!!! What should I do to celebrate?!

(I tried to take a picture of my rings and necklace but my camera won't focus on something that small).

Good for you! How could Audra have thought of that? I bet you are sooo happy.

She must have been inspired to help! I can not stand to have things lost and that would have drove me crazy! I'm so glad you found them!

Audra said...

I am thrilled too that you have them back! You were meant to have them back because that thought came out of nowhere. I'm just so glad that I called you right away because I probably would have forgotten about it if I didn't. What a blessing!

Michelle said...

Oh! That is so wonderful!! I am so happy for you!! Wahoo!! And what a great sis Audra is!

We're celebrating here in Utah with you! Woooooohoooooo! Way to go Audra!! And you not only got your rings back, you got your special necklace along with them. What a deal! As far as a celebration goes, I think you definitely have to have a treat or some nummy food that you don't usually have. A nice dance would be in order too. Whatever you decide, I hope it is a happy celebration!

Diana said...

That is so great! I think you must be so relieved to have them back.

Topsy said...

That is seriously inspiration. That's amazing. I would get some Martinelli's sparkling cider (I would... I love that stuff!) chill it down and share the bottle with your hubby after the kids are in bed! That is a happy day!

It is a wonderful thing to have prayers answered. Celebrate by getting all three pieces cleaned so they shine beautifully.

Mindy said...

Yay! That's so funny. I would occasionally think about your rings. I hate it when I lose stuff like that. Audra's always inspired.

Kimberlie said...

That is great! Not that this is on the subject but I love how your mom said "nummy" food. That's is a word I thought my mom only said. :)

Melissa said...
