Enjoying God's blessings ~ both of them!!

Today has been suprisingly a WONDERFUL DAY!! Both of my prayer requests were answered!!! My cousin Elizabeth was taken off of the ventilator yesterday and will be moved into a regular hospital room! She was even able to whisper a little bit. WOW!! God is soooo good! On top of that, My Aunt Kathy was able to drive down here with my parent's best friend's, the Davis', so she's currently on her way!! YAY! I can't wait until she gets here!! Also, today was a beautiful sunny day!! That is amazing! Let me catch you up on what we've been doing so far! Yesterday we hung around the hotel in the morning and then around lunchtime Kristen and I went and got pedicures. Then we came back to the hotel and Mom, Dad, Kristen, Miles and I went into downtown Sarasota looking for the Men's Warehouse so Dad could pick up his tuxedo for Saturday. We stopped at one mall and walked around for a bit, found the Men's Warehouse and then decided to eat at Longhorn's in Sarasota. Imagine our surprise when while we were eating, Mr. Billy and Mrs. Cindy Shields walked in!! They are our good friends from church and are down here for the wedding. We had no idea we'd run into them! It was so funny and we hugged and laughed and were so excited to see each other. You would have thought we hadn't seen them in years when we just saw them on Sunday at church! It was really funny! Then after Longhorns we came back to the hotel and went out on the beach. Miles LOVES the water and he is so funny! There is a lot of seaweed here in the water and he hates that so he tries to avoid it. Then we went back upstairs and got ready for bed. Today Kristen and I got up and got ready. Kristen went with Mom to a Spa and Miles, Dad, and I got went out to the beach and then in the pool. We had a good time! Then we went back up to the room, had lunch and waited on Mom and Kristen to get back. Rusty came over and we all watched YouTube videos ("Charlie you bit me" is one of my favorites as well as "Kick My Ask"*my Mom LOVES that one too! haha) Rusty and Kristen left to go get his tux and Mom and I went out to the beach for a little while. It was so nice. Now I'm just sitting here with a mask on my face that will supposedly clean out my pores. I can barely open my mouth now that it's dry! Tonight I think we are going to try to go out to eat with everybody who is in town today. I can't believe it's finally here!!! Alright well here are a few pictures so far! Enjoy! Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us! We are enjoying ourselves and look forward to sharing with you our pictures and stories when we get back.
