I Can't Believe It 

I Can't Believe It

I had two sad things happen on Friday. When driving home from work I looked down at my finger and noticed that my diamond was gone from my engagment ring! As soon as I got home I searched through the car but found no trace of it. As I was all over Minneapolis that day the likelihood of me ever finding it is vanishingly small. Friday we also realized that our Huckleberry kitty probably wasn't coming back. He had been missing for three days- and at his age (14) we had to face facts that he probably wasn't coming home. Needless to say, this was not the best way to start the weekend.

I actually called our insurance agent and put in a claim for my ring Friday night and was able to talk to the claims person on Saturday. Sounds like this may be a fairly painless process....but the sad thing is that my new diamond WON'T be the same one that Troy put on my finger 15 years ago. Cheers to my sister, however, who said that perhaps this was symbolic of a "new life" together...lol which is a nice positive spin. Heavens knows that we have been through more then a reasonable amount of ups and downs the past 15 years. I can only hope the next 15 are better.

The best part of the weekend was that Huck DID come home! Troy sat outside Saturday night (early Sunday morning) for an hour just calling and calling him...and he came! I was sooo thrilled to see him Sunday morning! (I was sleeping while this was going on.) The kids said they were glad too..but as they had already mentioned getting a new kitten I'm not sure if they really meant it- lol!

Other then that, not much happened this weekend. Troy worked every night, the kids varied between being brats and being angels, and that's about it.
