Wonderful Megan

Today is Megan's birthday! So yesterday Kath and I went out to lunch with Meg, Rachel and Caroline. We ate at Barberitos, our traditional meeting place, and then, also according to tradition, went to Publix and split giant sugar cookies with sprinkles. I think one of my favorite things about the cookies is that when you hold them your fingers get stained with rainbow polka dots. It's so cute!

We also stopped at a little clothing store that's right by Publix. There was the most adorable skirt there! It was tiered and gathered so it flared out at the bottom. The colors were white, bright green, hot pink, lavender, and a patterned tier. Rachel and I both tried it on and LOVED it. But sadly, I'm broke. =( So I couldn't get it. So Rachel said she would buy hers and let me borrow it!

I reluctantly hung up the skirt telling God how much I wished I could get it, but thanking Him for the fact that I was able to spend time with my friends.

Then after a few moments Rachel asked me if I had something to match it at home. I said yes and she said, "You know what? I'm going to get this for you. I think God wants me to do that." It was so cool! I gave her a huge hug and said thank you. Now I'm going to share with her. Isn't she sweet?

After lunch, the clothing store, and Publix, there really wasn't much we could do around town. So we rode around a bit, stopped at Office Depot of all places, mostly just for the heck of it and the possibility of cute notebooks, (I'm addicted to them, you know,) and then drove back home. We were planning on going inside and sitting and talking some more, but for some strange reason we just sat in the car and talked. And it was a really good conversation too. See, we talk so much, that it doesn't really matter where we are, just so long as our mouths are working. =D

Kath and I were trying to decide what to give Meg when we both went to look through our scarf drawers. (Yes, we actually have drawers for our scarves. =) Kath found a cute flowered green one that you can wear in your hair and I found a crocheted sparkly brown scarf with beads on the end. We also gave her a Starbucks gift card. It was so funny because she said when she opened the gift that she had been wanting a new scarf, and one for her hair! It was great. She's definitely a scarf lover. =D

We had a great time being together and it made for a wonderful afternoon! I'm so thankful for such amazing friends!
