Today Glen and I went to Home Depot to get some giant tupperware containers for our camping stuff, and while we were there, I stopped by the paint department to get some swatches for wedding color ideas.

As you can see, I'm leaning towards the bluey-purples, but I threw in some blues and mossy greens to round it out. I don't really know what I'm going to do with all of these cards, but they're fun to play with. Maybe I can make up some sort of game with very complicated rules to play with them.

We also got the car washed and vacuumed the inside out -- there was still lots of actual dirt in the car from our camping trip. We always pick the best days to stand out in the sun and labor; the last time we went and vacuumed the car it was also about 95 degrees out. When we finally found a parking spot back at home (ugh, Sunday evenings), we spent another hour wiping down the interior and the windows -- in contrast to the rest of the clean car, they were looking disgusting. So now we have a sparkly clean Aveo parked directly in front of Beth's house, ready for us to carpool and commute to DuPont Children's Hospital in Wilmington, DE on Wednesday morning.

Then, as we finally walked back from the car, Glen pointed out a butterfly sitting on a stoop on our block. It looked kind of cute sitting there, and just as I took out my camera to snap a photo, it flew off. We thought we missed our chance, but then it swooped back down, directly at us! It actually landed on Glen's head. It kept flying up and then back down at our faces, and then a second butterfly came to join it. It was bizarre and kind of hilarious to get attacked by a pair of butterflies. Maybe they liked us, I don't know. I got this picture when one finally took a rest.

Tomorrow officially starts... more orientation. In the evening there is a 'clinic' to teach us to place IV lines and take blood and give stitches, so that should be interesting. Our first opportunity to find out how inept we really are!
