Good morning folks. So, my weekend was wonderful until Sunday morning hit. I was up early, showered, dressed and ready to go do our registry. We had amazing weather on the East Coast this weekend and we were pumped! So, my precious is on and shining...I took it off for a simple 60 seconds to wash 2 dishes, turned around and it was gone. Did I lose it or did someone in my home that stopped by for a quick visit take the advantage of my back being turned and scoop it up?
Well, after FIVE HOURS of searching, crying, and my fiance just beside himself we figured it was stolen from my own family member who has a lot of financial troubles. So I take my puffy eyed self to the cops and file a report. We were devastated. Although we have insurance, nothing can replace the sentiment. I can tell you this, the entire day that I cried I wanted to kick myself in the ass for ever wanting a bigger stone and wanting a better quality. All I cared about at that time was MY e-ring. The one and only...
My fiance was so upset, he cried too. He finally said that we will take the insurance money and buy a bigger better one online from someone who takes credit cards so we are safe(LOL, he refused to buy online and he could have gotten a better deal, so I thought that was sweet of him to try and make me feel better). The thought of having the F color I want with a higher clarity than SI1, and having the size I want, and having white gold instead of Platinum so I can have an even larger stone, didn''t mean poop. I wanted my H color SI2 that although, according to the folks here, is deep with a large table for a princess... is SO sparkly and clean.
I wasn''t happy with making an insurance claim. SO we decided to head out for a bite to eat since we searched our home high and low, pulled the sinks apart, checked our pets "disposal", ugh! you name it and we did it!! We needed a break. We went and ate like crap to feel better LOL. We had a few drinks, and came home.
The whole time we are driving home I kep remembering what the accused thief said to me after he tried helping us look for it. He said "maybe you left it in the bathroom and don''t remember?" But we searched the bathroom, just in case I was losing my mind and didn''t take the ring off in the kitchen. It dawned on me in the car, the accused went into our bathroom for quite sometime "searching" for my precious. Hmmm, maybe it scared him when I said something is up?
I go in the bathroom and just sit on the toilet. I am looking around and I see something shining from BEHIND my stainless steel trashcan. OMG MY PRECIOUS!!! I WAS ESTATIC. Now how in the world did it get back there and I NEVER heard it fall off the counter BEHIND the trashcan? Why didn''t I see it the first few times we searched the bathroom? Seems to me that someone tried to take it not realizing I would notice it is gone immediately, and planted it behind my trashcan out of fear, just before he left. I can''t prove it, but I know it inside.
So, for those of you think that you can just get insurance $$ and get a better stone if yours is lost, think again, it is a horrible feeling. The sentimental value kicks in when it is gone...a good lesson learned for me.
