Lost and Found

So, about a month ago amidst all the comings and goings
of family, we somehow lost one of Emma's pacifiers,
and it happened to be my favorite one (pictured above)!
Needless to say, I searched everywhere for it in our little
apartment and never found it. I was heartbroken :(
Then just yesterday, while looking for something else that was lost
(do you notice a trend?),
I FOUND IT!!!!!
This seriously made my day! (okay lets be honest,
it made my whole week)

This reminded of something I've always known about myself:
I get very attached to insignificant objects
like pencils or chapstick, (and now Emma's pacifiers..)
but I don't realize the extent of my attachment until they get
lost or broken or ruined and then I get super upset!!
Oh man.

Anyways, all I really wanted to do was share the
good news that I found my favorite pacifier.......for Emma, of course.
