My Wedding Ring

Well, Kenny and I have been married for 7 years and 7 months. On one hand it doesn't seem like we have been married that long, and on the other hand it seems that we have been together forever. Kenny and I picked out my wedding ring together, which I was very grateful for because I got exactly what I wanted - something small and beautiful. I wanted to be able to feel like I could wear my ring every day. The ring was made of two bands, the engagment band, and the wedding band; after we were married we had the two soldered together. A couple weeks ago I was moving some rather large rocks in my yard, and didn't even think to remove my ring first. The two bands got tweaked, and one of them broke in half. The nice thing was that I could still wear the ring because one band was still good. Just last week I was up at the Lund cabin - a very large beautiful house that my brother-in-law Steve Francom built for Allen Lund and his family out at Long Canyon. After a tour of the beautiful cabin and landscaping we sat down to dinner. For some reason I looked down at my left hand, and where my diamond used to be was a huge gaping hole - my diamond was gone! I was hit with a feeling of shock and horrer, and I let out a very audible gasp. Of course everyone wanted to know what was wrong. It was all I could do to keep from bursting into tears as I told my dear husband that I had lost the diamond out of my wedding ring. The Lund family immediately initiated a search party, and a reward was offered to the one who found the diamond, but no one did. When I got home I searched my house and my car and my yard, but still no diamond. I was so sick! The crazy thing is that Kenny actually apologized to me that I lost my diamond! He is such an awesome guy. For now I am wearing a silver band that he gave me for Christmas until we can get a new diamond and get my ring fixed. I'm just grateful that my lost diamond doesn't mean I am not married anymore!
