Jillian comes to Charleston

The weekend of November 17 and 18th Nathan and I had our first over night guest in our new apartment. My wonderful sister-in law Jillian came for a visit. We had an absolutely fabulous time with one another. It was a treasure to have quality time with her... and I had her all to myself!! Sunday we spent the evening catching up on life. Now that we are about 500 miles apart those catching up times are very precious to me. After Nathan got back from his discipleship group we went to Krispie Cream donuts. They were hot off the conveyor belt and into our tummies. Such a treat!
Monday we were able to meet Nathan at Moe's for our usual Moe's Monday lunch date. Then Jillian and I went patrolling downtown like we were tourists or something. We walked the market and the battery taking all sorts of pictures. Then we went off to Folly beach and enjoyed the sand in our toes before we laid our blanket down to read. Our reading didn't last long because as always conversation between Jillian and I flows very freely. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together.
I had to work the next day and she had to hit the road to beat the DC traffic and get home to her husband. The Lord was gracious in giving us quality time together. It was a blessing.
