Remember how I lost my diamond out of my ring last Friday night? When we got home that night DH asked if I wanted to go back and look for it and I said no b/c I was over the water the whole time. The little dock has been worn smooth over time and there are way-bigger-than-my-diamond spaces between the boards. The only "land" I was on was the boat ramp so needless to say, when the rain started pouring right after we left I was pretty darn sure that my ring would have been in the water, if not already.
One week later...
We went to the same ramp and when I hopped out of the truck I went straight to the end of the dock. I saw it almost immediately. It was SITTING THERE ON THE DOCK! I bet 200 people walked right over it all week and I swear we've had 4" of rain or more, and it was just SITTING THERE. It was in a tiny groove on one of the boards but it wasn't even stuck. I just picked it right up. THAT IS INSANE! Even though it was in a little groove, there was just no way it should have stayed there through all of that pounding rain and who knows how many people walking on it.
I HAVE MY DIAMOND BACK!!! We have to have the stone reset, obviously, but I am just STUNNED.
*Happy dancing!*

That is so cool.
Yeah, we went through the house and all of the outbuildings with a video camera, digital camera, and notebook to record all of our "good stuff" a few years ago. There are two copies safely stored at totally different addresses along with any receipts to back up our claims.
We have the highest deductible our insurance company will let us have, however, so it wouldn't have done any good to claim it. It was worth a couple of months worth of paychecks back when he gave it to me, which is why it's so special to me now. There's love and sacrifice in that stone that money just can't buy!

This is AMAZING! I swear it falls into the category of good things happen to good people. You didn't run out and buy a new ring and this is the world's way of giving back to you!
I am so thrilled for you. Yay! What are you going to do with the fancy CZ that you got?
I haven't even ordered the CZ yet, LOL. I was going to do it next month b/c of our horrible deficit this month (the usual 2k we need to make our ends speak to each other plus the rest of the 4k tax bill). I figured I'd order it w/ the July 1 paycheck (the one we picked came to $23 after shipping plus there's a 12% cash back offer) so I guess being broke this month worked out for us twice - we didn't spend hundreds of dollars on another diamond and we didn't spend $20 on a CZ!
Thanks so much for your support!
PS: I've been peeking at your blog. =c)
