Natalie played hooky from school today so that she could go out to St. Armand's Circle with Lindsay and I. We walked in and out of the shops and had lunch. It was pretty uneventful until we decided we needed some ice cream. We went into Scoopdaddy's and started looking at all of their toys. We got side tracked by the "I Love Lucy" magnets. Lindsay wanted to get one for Aunt Lu because she sometimes goes by Lucy. Anyway, after about fifteen minutes we finally got around to getting our ice cream. We ordered and as we were headed towards the door, the Anderson family walked in! Josh included!

Can you believe it? It was like fate. Of all of the ice cream shops in Sarasota - in St. Armand's alone - they walked into the one we were in. And we were only there because Lindsay had taken so long to make up her mind! I swear that I higher power was working in our favor. I was so destined me to see Josh today!!!!

So we were talking to Lauren who was complaining that she was kind of bored. She said that after dinner they just sit around and watch TV. Natalie mentioned the party tonight and said that she and Josh were welcome to come - and they said they would!

I can't wait! Party tonight! With Josh! Yippie! :)
