the bestest wife ever and DH even agrees! We both spent about 2 hours last night digging through snow, slush and trash!
Why? Because he lost his engraved platinum wedding band.
He had a really bad day and to top it all off he slipped on ice and fell leaving his last client of the day. I told him he should sue because of the ice on the sidewalk.
Anyway, He fell around 5:30 then ran a bunch of errands and didn't get home until 7ish. I got home early from class at about 8 and that's when he actually realized it was missing. He knew something was "off" but didn't identify it until I was home. He proceeded to get very upset talking to himslf saying I must hate him. Hey, it's just a ring. I can replace a ring (no more platinum though!) but I can't replace him. After scouring the apartment we went to th client's office. We could see both his hand prints frozen in the snow/slush where he's fallen. I started scanning the lot while he checked the office bathrooms. I thought maybe smashing the snow I'd be able to feel it under my shoe.
After a few minutes we decided to find the cleaning lady as her car was there. DH has keys to all the buildings and we scared the crap out of her but I think is probably a little senile too. After digging through 2 bags of trash we gave up. She (the cleaning lady) kept saying we'd never find it out there in the dark but with the snow it might get plowed so we had no choice. We walked out and as soon as our flash lights hit the snow next to the car I saw this perfect circle next to the car and literally exclaimed "Wait a minute!" I couldn't believe it was that easy. I dug it out of the snow and DH immediately stuck his finger out and was almost crying with relief. He offered to massage anything I wanted for as long as I wanted! LOL He thought I was meant to find it... I think it was never meant to be lost. I never panicked or got upset... I just knew we'd find it. I'm still relieved we did though. It's safely back on DH's finger with a very nice ding it from his fall. He says he wears the ding with pride.
