the lost is found...what was, is no more

YES!!!
even though this is not the original ring, it is the exact replica (a size smaller, so it won't be flying off my finger into the lake any time soon...and if i ever wear my rings to the lake again, someone just hit me up-side the head.)
you might remember this post from last summer. what a sad, sad day when i lost my beautiful engagement ring.
so yesterday when eric surprised me by getting down on one knee and pulling out a ring box, i couldn't believe it. i just kept saying, 'this had better not be a joke... is this for real?!'
and YES!!! it was...not a joke, i mean.

so...even though the lost really wasn't found, the lost was replaced!!! it is a beautiful, same as my real engagement ring replica, and i couldn't be happier.
okay, so i could be just a little bit happier...

my dear husband called me from work the other day and said calmly, 'ummm, babe, i can't find my wedding ring.' nope, not even kidding. so we are now in the beginning process of trying to find his ring/maybe having to get him a new one. thankfully his is not quite as expensive as mine was. but i had better get it fast, because he already had one lady ask him if he was married so she could bring her niece in for him to meet. good thing he has a tan line where his ring used to be...he can just show them that for now.

so the lost has been found/replaced, and what was, i am sad to say is no more...until i get him another one.
