My friend from Florida is down for a week. It's always fun to see her because she only gets to come down once a week. Her name is Elizabeth Spurlock. She has really brown curly hair and brown eyes. She lives in Apopka Florida. I met her when I was reallly young because her grandparents live in Lake city. Her grandma and my gran were always great friends. Once a year, or sometimes twice, she comes down. We always swim, go out to eat, and spend the whole week together. When we were younger she would come and go to VBS with us at church. One year we went to the lake and spent the weekend. Another time we had this huge blow up water slide. Elizabeth would always come down for Christmas and see her grandma and grandpa until her grandma died about a year ago. I remember Haven was staying at my grans and she woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me. Sherry and Larry (Elizabeth's grandparents) were in Texas for work. They went one night to get ice cream and as they were crossing the road Sherry was hit by a car. It was so unexpected. Sherry was one of the sweetest ladies in our church and like another grandma to me. My gran was devastated and we hated to see Elizabeth go through that. Haven, Delaney, and I all got her gift to remember her grandma. We had to go to her funeral and now Elizabeth doesn't get to come see us as much. Her grandpa had a rough time dealing with it and had trouble getting time for her to come down. We're glad she has gotten to come down this week. We always have fun seeing her. Today we went to eat in Paragould and we're going swimming later. Tomorrow we're getting up early to get breakfast and then taking her to Memphis to catch her plane:( I hope one summer we can all go down to Florida to see her. I hope you all have an out of town friend!! It's sad to be away from them, but it makes seeing them so much more exciting! I love Lizzy, and maybe one day some if you can meet her:-))
