On October 1st it will be 9 years since we moved into our home. Not long before that Doug had bought me some diamond stud earrings. In the move I somehow lost one of my earrings out of my jewelry box. I remember being upset about it and I am not sure I ever told Doug I lost it. Anyway on Sunday our freezer in our garage got left open or something happened to allow all of my food to thaw out which was a bummer since I had recently gone shopping. So I cleaned everything out and yesterday Doug and I unpluged it to defrost it, and as we were cleaning up all the water I looked down and saw an earring on the garage floor in the water. The minute I saw it I knew it was my diamond. The back was smashed but the post was fine so I took it up stairs to my jewelry book where I had saved my other one for nine years, not sure why. Sure enough it was the one I had lost nine years earlier. So they are safely in my ears now. But what I don't understand is where it was for nine years. Was it frozen in the freezer's ice for nine years? No I know that I have cleaned my freezer more than once in nine years? Was it in our carpet? I have absolutley no idea where it was all that time and how it showed up now but it has been kind of exciting. So I will probably never loose them again because they will forever stay in my ears as a constant reminder that just because something is lost doesn't mean it can never be found again.
