a needle in a haystack

A total MIRACLE! I got home last night to find the diamond in my wedding ring was GONE! This was a diamond from my husband's grandma. I had just been playing volleyball at the church, and had remembered seeing it when I took my ring off to play. But a tip of one prong had broken, and it was now gone.

Long story short... a number of small miracles happened. I called a neighbor (at 10:45pm!) to get church keys, and although they didn't have keys that worked, they came over and watched our kids so both Rob and I could scour the gym floor, look in the hall, in the car, and parking lot. We were (miraculously) able to get keys, and after a long time searching, we found the diamond. The proverbial needle in a haystack.

It was really a miracle! I have to say, at one point I thought about how I would react if I didn't find it. I decided that I wouldn't cry or get really upset... after all, it was just a thing. But it is a relief to find it! We both knelt on the gym floor and said "Thank you!" before we went home.
