Thanksgiving Part 2

Well after not being able to find Kristy's ring in the car, we decided to do our shopping in Wal-Mart. We found a couple of the things we were looking for, I got the last "Iron Man" on Blu-Ray! Kristy really wanted a specific toy that was on sale for Sidney, but it was sold out.

We got in line to pay, and were litterally almost to the back of the store, although we had some really nice people directly infront of us so it made it go much nicer. We got our stuff and headed outside... the sun was just coming up. This time we combed through the car removing things, detaching carpet... nothing.

We decided that we knew it was in the car, so we'd go to another store. I went to start the car and... it wouldn't start... someone offered to jump the car, that didn't work. We finally had to call Kristy's Dad to come and pick us up. While we waited for him, I decided to go to customer service, just in case the ring had fallen out of Kristy's coat or anything, and someone found it and turned it in. They hadn't. But while I waited in line, there about 20 carts full of junk people had brought to the check out isle and for one reason or another never purchased.

I looked and there in one of the carts, was they toy Kristy had been looking for, so I asked the lady if I could buy it, so we did get that.

We had to have our car towed and repaired, while we waited for news on the damage we went back to the hotel, pretty disappointed, and wishing we had stayed in bed.

Kristy was down by the pool watching the kids swim and I was in the room. The man from the garage called to tell me what was wrong with the car, and my cell phone got another beep, it was Kristy... she had found her ring!!!

Apparently it had fallen into her sweatshirt, and got caught in the "v" of her shirt. She was so happy! It made the pain to the wallet for fixing the car a little easier to bare.

Needless to say after the car was fixed we headed home, and didn't really want to do much else.
