Late Christmas Gift

We've been trying to figure out what happened to my black pearl earrings (with gold dolphins on them) that I last saw in the living room at the North Shore house months ago!  They were part of my 15th anniversary gift from Kory when we went to Tahiti in July.  WAAY too expensive and meaningful to lose. After we moved from the North Shore house to renovate, Kory had guys tearing out the kitchen and packing up all the stuff in the living room as a surprise to me. So I've always wondered if they were lost somewhere in all the debris, or if someone picked them up. 

When Kory asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year (after we'd already said we wouldn't exchange gifts), I told him I'd like to find my earrings.  Well... he had people help him look, including Kyle.  Didn't find them. Last night, though, the three of us were in the living room and something in my right shirt pocket was bugging me, so I reached in... and (you guessed it)... there they were!!  Whew!  WHAT A RELIEF!  That's a very strange feeling to lose something so meaningful and valuable and then to find it.

So... I guess I got a late Chrismas gift!
