Rancho Sierra Vista

Last spring when we got home from the mission I was showering and lost one of my diamond earrings down the drain. Go figure, they were on screwon posts and I check them regularly. But, no matter I lost one and I screamed and bawled. Dad had bought them as an anniversary gift eight or nine years ago and they finally made the one carat that I had always wanted. (my engagement ring plus two earrings). Dad told me that it was alright and he would replace it.

He called Melvin in Austin and sent him the one remaining earring and asked him to match it and return them. I had hoped to have them by the wedding in August. NOPE. After the wedding I didn’t much think about the earring as life went on as usual on the ranch.

We left for the second leg of our mission in October and I just didn’t wear earrings anymore in my ears. On our anniversary dad had made arrangments with Melvin to not only replace my earring but he also bought be a beautiful diamond necklace for our 39th anniversary. Wow was I surprised. It is so nice to have my diamonds back in my ears, I’m trying not to sound vain, but now I have this beautiful necklace to boot.

Dad surprised me the first time with diamonds and then completely surprised me again with more. What more can be said…..diamonds, from my best friend!
