Well, if you are wondering what that is and who might be in that costume.. well, it's me!! It's Hermie, the caterpillar. Ever heard of him? I hadn't... until yesterday. Matt and I volunteered at
StadiumFest yesterday.. an evangelistic outreach at
Samford University. We got there and the guy said "You are down to be Hermie." I thought.. how bad could this be? Please let me remind you that yesterday it was like 89 degrees here and this costume weighed like 20 pounds and was made of straight up wool! So they dressed me in Hermie and off I went to the field to meet and greet the kids and take lots of pictures. Matt said no thanks to the costume and he was my "escort." The kids were great.. they were coming up to me saying (imagine this in a 3 year
olds voice) "Hermie, I watched your movie this morning and Oh I love you Hermie."
Here I am making my way out of the building. I do admit I started to wig out a little when they put the thing on because it was a little
claustrophobic.
And here we are with the never ending line of photo ops and hugs...sweet Hermie. Matt had to come up to me several times and say "Hermie, ya got a visitor down below" --I couldn't see real well. And he passed a few bottles of water up through the bottom for me as well.
After I took that costume off you wouldn't believe it... I really didn't know my body could sweat THAT much. It was gross!!
After Stadium Fest and a shower we headed to a shower for our sweet friends in our small group, Jonathan and Rachel, who are getting married in a few short weeks. We are super excited for them and after that it was time for bed for Hermie man!

You look great in the Hermie costume! I'm glad to know you dress up in costumes...this might come in handy one day.
How funny! It was so hot yesterday! God bless you! I would have died of a heat stroke!
Wow~ you make a great Hermie. I can't believe you did that. You are quite the trooper!!!
I am laughing out loud! Only you could pull of the Hermie costume! Bless you for doing that in 89 degree weather!
That is great! I needed a laugh on this Monday morning. You are better than me.....i would have passed on the costume.
Never a challenge that you don't take on! I think you made a great Hermie.
Kristen and Matt - thanks so much for volunteering at StadiumFest - you looked cute in that costume and I laughed at your description of the day. We could NOT have done it without volunteers like you guys. Thanks a bunch!
