dearest trilobites

Some women would love a to get flowers or new clothes. Me? My thrill came today in 3 rocks and dead bugs. But not just any dead bugs. We now have a fossil collection! Is that the coolest!! They are really great specimens, too. Bekah has already named one "Spider" and one "Calerpitter." I should take pictures...oh wait, I think I will.

As Rob and I talk about what we want in a home, he knows I would absolutely love a wall or big panel in our study to be made of tiles with fossils. I saw this in one of the buildings in the U and seriously fell in love. Since that is probably out of our budget, my sweet husband was totally supportive to shell out to buy these babies. I want to frame them in 3 black shadow boxes.

Am I totally insane? They cost more than some of the furniture we need! I know. I'm so weird. But it's so dang cool!
