Beatrice the Butterfly!!

Patti, my mom's best friend, who is like a mother to me, sent me a butterfly to work today!

I never knew you could send someone a butterfly, but it has TOTALLY made my day!

Her sweet note encouraged me by saying that God's very best was to come for me and to watch and wait!

Here she is, below...Beatrice, that is. When I bring her home, I am instructed to take the plastic wrapping off and:

"The chrysalis will emerge on November 1st give or take a day or two. 

Place it where you can see and enjoy its beauty as it emerges!

Watch it for up to two hours as its wings expand and harden, then release it outdoors.

I am reading up on how I will see Beatrice change over the next week:

When the time for the caterpillar to turn into a butterfly it must go through a pupa stage. This is where they spin a chrysalis or cocoon. This the cocoon goes through three stages. The first stage is called the fresh pupa where the cocoon is green and rough. The stage is where the cocoon stays green but the outside becomes smooth. When the caterpillar has finished metamorphosis, (changing), into a butterfly, the cocoon will become clear and have no color.

Beatrice will end up looking like this! A beautiful monarch. I will surely be sad to see her leave.

I will be sure to post pictures when she emerges and is a big beautiful butterfly!

thanks mel!

last night...mel and i went to the gym.

i told her i was going to TRY to run a mile.

she so graciously came over to the treadmill with me and ran next to me, to try and keep me going.

she basically just talked to me the whole time, to try and get my mind off of running.

because after 2 minutes and 40 seconds i was NOT having fun.

 

but i did it!

all thanks to mel.

my cheeks were realllly red and i was sweating a lot  :)

Hawaii

This day, last year, Lindsay and I were in Hawaii.
Tomorrow, we would be getting on our flight.
O wait, late tonight we would have...

Currently, I'm looking at a desk, covered in cases...
And not white sand, clear crisp water or bronze skin.

wedding stats....crazy.

info from sparkiatti

the 22nd is my least favorite date.

i miss talking to my mom and hearing her voice.

she was so goofy and always had so much to say.

she was so good at encouraging me and loving me.

i miss her terribly.
