You know the kind of friend who flies across the country and then drives three hours to spend time with you? No? Well, I do. But this time I got the chance to (kind of) return the show of affection by driving to Jacksonville to share a lunch and meet the boyfriend. It was well worth the drive.
This also happened to be the weekend that my Daddy made me so proud of him (which is not hard to do) by walking the Gate River Run. He and a friend walk every morning before work, and they decided to take on the 15K (a little over 9 miles) challenge.
After my visit with Catherine, I had two luxurious hours to myself in my parents' hotel room before they got there. Mama, Daddy and I spent Friday night in Jacksonville. Saturday morning, while Daddy conquered the world, Mama and I laid in the bed and talked. When Daddy got back we drove to St. Augustine so Mama and I could go shopping for a bit.
After a yum dinner I drove back to Deland with a few new things for my closet and a happy heart. I'm spoiled and I know it.
