Just then, Taylor came downstairs and was equally fascinated. He decided to get a box and try to catch it. He found a box that had a clear lid, so when he trapped the *thing* in the box, we could see it clearly--well, that is when it wasn't flapping around hysterically in the box. After it got tired, I got a few pictures of it. It had a four inch wingspan! We looked it up on the Internet and found that it was a Luna Moth. They are not rare, but they are rarely seen. Yah...I have never seen one in my entire life!
It was pretty--in an odd-mothy sort of way. It kept Taylor and I entertained for quite awhile until Ryan came home.
It's oh-so-very-good to have Ryan back in the nest!!
And speaking of Ryan....a Memorial Box Monday post:
The week he was leaving for his mission trip, he was supposed to go get a physical for the milit*ry. When signing up, he was allowed to choose the type of training that he wanted. He had found something that was close--although not exactly what he wanted. To spot could only be held for a week, so he needed the physical done before leaving for the mission trip. Well...there was a mix-up. Due to that, he was unable to get the physical--hence the job training spot could not be held for him. He was disappointed but said, "Well, maybe there will be something better for me when I get back." I love that boy. :) And we did have such a peace that God was in control, and that when Ryan got back, there would be a spot for him that would be where God wanted him.
Today, he and Jeff went to choose another training spot. This time, he was able to find something better--and more to his liking--AND....he will be stationed in a different location that is MUCH closer to where we will be living in Boston. It's still a bit of a hike, but it's drivable and means we will be able to see him for the time that he is living there. We are so excited!! God knew...and we believe He orchestrated the 'mix-up' to get Ryan where He wanted him.
