for the love of shopping

Winona and I went shopping at the Albertville outlet mall for three hours today.  My goal was to get a pair of walking shoes.  After trying on more than a dozen pairs and Winona's opinion of what looked good, I left with two pair. Plus, we had plenty of time to look around several of the other stores.  I'm glad that I found what I was looking for, but honestly the best part was spending time together (and John).  It really wasn't that long ago that I needed someone to take me shopping, because I couldn't walk from the parking lot to the store's front door without assistance.  I love that I am living an independent life these days and can spend time with my fun, loving, energetic daughter.
