Sad day

Yesterday was a sad day in our household. I knew this day would probably come during our married lifetime but I guess I was hoping that it didn't happen so quickly. Yes folks, Husband lost his wedding ring. After giving it to him (engraved with my birthday and our anniversary and all) over 4 years ago, he went pheasant hunting in Joplin, MO and left his ring on the TV in his hotel. What's sad is the cleaning crew took it and were probably thinking they'd net more than $10 from pawning it but we thought about the possibility of him losing his ring and this is why we got a cheap ring. What's funny is how Husband chose to tell me he lost the original symbol of our love. When he got back on Sunday, I was in a mood b/c I had dealt with a sick baby all weekend and he was getting drunk and shooting things...not a fair trade. Instead of telling me Sunday, he told me he had bad news on Monday when I got home from work...I was confused b/c he had a ring on. The man actually went out Monday and bought a new ring that looked EXACTLY the same sans the engraving. His original ring was a 10 1/2 but the new one is a 10...the 10 1/2 would have taken 2 weeks to order and he wanted one that day! Any suggestions on what I should engrave in this one?

LOL...Jon lost his original ring while hunting too. He didn't even notice it had fallen off until he got home a couple of days later. Sigh...hopefully ring #2 will last a little longer :)
I like the idea of engraving your address..that's hilarious ;)
