Kaitlyn's flowers

6.30.14

      The rest of the week went by pretty quickly. I had to travel out to Los Angeles for 48 hours for work, and that was going to be the second to last time I planned to fly. On Friday, I got a call from the flower preservation company in Houston that we had sent flowers to after Kaitlyn's memorial service saying that our flower piece was finally ready. It was suppose to take about 6 months, but we were coming up on a solid 10 months of waiting for it to be finished.
       I was excited that I got off work a little bit early on Monday and was able to go pick it up. The drop-off location is in this office with an oil field group, so it's a little random walking in there to pick up such a feminine thing. I had called ahead to make sure they were open and that they would be there, and sure enough our piece was waiting in the front office for me.

        You have to trust me when I say that pictures do not do this justice. It's about 14 inches tall by about 8 inches wide. And the colors are absolutely gorgeous. I was so thankful to the group that had matched some hot pink ribbon to tie it all together and placed our little gold butterfly right on top so that it stood out. It made my heart so happy to see all of that striking hot pink in there, because that was Kaitlyn.
