Lost Ring

Saturday night, Amberly's parents came to visit after moving Jared into his new apartment in Lincoln. We enjoyed a nice home made Italian meal complete with 4 cheese penne pasta, caesar salad, home-made bread and green beans. After we were sufficiently stuffed we headed out to run a few errands and get mom and dad some Panera Bread goodies for breakfast the next morning. As we relaxed for the remainder of the evening and as Amberly dished up brownies a la mode, Ryan informed us that he had dropped his ring.

Now...Ryan has been known to play with his wedding ring and has dropped it in interesting places, more than once in the car, underneath the table at dinner, at the movies, and at a work conference where it happened to roll a few rows of seats in front of him....and who knows where else! Amberly is now used to this and is thinking that it might be time to start a new wedding ring fund for Ryan. As the brownies were warming up, I could see Ryan digging his hand into the side of the couch.

That's when I knew he had lost his wedding ring...again. Ryan asked for my tiny hands to see if I could reach the ring inside the couch. However this time the ring wasn't wedged into the side of the couch it had fallen inside the actual frame of the couch. After lots of deliberation, flipping the couch on its side and figuring and re-figuring where exactly the ring could be, the scissors came out. We ended up cutting the batting on the bottom of the couch to find the ring. And Thankfully it was a success...the ring was found! I think I'll still keep the ring fund going, just in case.
