"you're learning to socialize..by yourself"

I had the most wonderful weekend with my lovely friend and sister, Laura. That gem drove seven hours from Tallahassee to come see me. It was such a good weekend. She spoiled me rotten. I'm not good at accepting people's kindness and allowing myself to be treated...but she made me. :) We went to Sanibel Island, and enjoyed the beach. We got some delicious BBQ food at Island Cow, a great restaurant adorned with cows. We also had some delicious mango sangria there :) We went to Goodwill, a very expensive Goodwill, might I add. Never been to such an uppity thrift store. I got a lovely little blue and white polka dot dress out of it, though. We went to see Pitch Perfect, at this wacky little movie theater in Fort Myers Beach. It was an independent movie theater, but kinda looked like a tiny college lecture hall mixed with a cheap restaurant. Someone literally came up to ask us what we wanted to order. I loved the movie, it was fantastic. We got a Red Box movie, and some pizza and crazy bread to end our Saturday night. It was so nice being with her, catching up, and listening to her wisdom about all my life situations. I needed this weekend. It meant so much to be with her, and have her come all that way to be with me. It means so much to know who my real friends are. And I've been learning a TON of that while being down here. God has blessed me so much. My soul and my heart were so joyful this weekend. I feel refreshed. :)
