Lost, Replaced, and Found

Last July, I lost my wedding rings. My hands had swollen a lot when I was pregnant with Isaac, so I had been wearing my rings on my pinky finger, because they fit better. By July though, I had lost enough weight that I probably should have put them back on my ring finger, but I just hadn't yet. At some point, they simply vanished. I had no idea where I had lost them, assuming that they had just fallen off as I was walking around. I had also been doing swimming lessons with Andrew, so I was worried they had fallen off in the pool. I called the rec center asking them to look for it; they didn't find anything. I searched my house, completely cleaned my bedroom. I looked everywhere. By the end of summer I pretty much gave up, resigned to the fact that I would never see them again. In October Dean bought me a cheap replacement ring as a place holder until he could find something better. Then, for Christmas, Dean surprised me with a new ring. A couple of days ago, we moved our couch from Isaac's bedroom, where we had put it over Christmas to make room for the Christmas tree, back into the living room. A few minutes later I found one of my two missing rings on the floor of Isaac's bedroom. I had heard some rattling around inside the couch as we moved it, so I dug around in the cracks, and found my second ring. So what now? We took the new ring back to where Dean had bought it, and they almost wouldn't let him return it, because they have a 30 day return guarantee, and it had been 31 days, but he justified it saying that they had been closed on Christmas and on New Years Day, so it had been only 29 business days. The second ring that Dean bought was a special order; we haven't even gotten it yet, but because it is a special order, they won't let him return it. So now, we have one random ring, that we can't return, and because of the shape of it, I doubt anyone would want it by itself, so we probably won't be able to sell it either. So, lost rings have been found, and while I am very happy that I have my originals, I can't help but feel guilty about the money, time, and trouble that went into this other ring. All well.
