HEADLINE:

I've fallen in love with the west coast!

Sorry for my lack of posts! 

I've been having so much fun in the sun here in Santa Monica/L.A.!

Finally having some much needed BFF time ( annnd they just keep on comin'! About to pick up Brittney from the airport!)

Also, going to lots of TV shows, celeb hot spots, walking the beach , cafes, shops , pubs, people watching...all beautiful things:)

Having some connection issues so I'll save my next post for a photo update!

Instead, here's a photo of my flight in.

cotton balls!

Peace & much looooove.

finally:

hello, california.

it's nice to see you :)

Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.

-Rainer Maria Rilke 

Sunday was for lovin'  and spending time at my childhood home with my family.

So since I have like FOUR days until I leave for L.A.,

 J (THEL.O.M.L) and I are trying to squeeze in as much time together as possible!

Many may think this is silly, but seeing as we've only ever been apart for maybe a day, it's a big deal to us. 

:)

So he surprised me and got out of work early, 

and we drove around downtown.

(HA!)

After 4 failed attempts at getting brunch, 

[ forgot how CRAZY busy places are on sundays!]

we ended up at one of my favorite chain food places.

Panera Bread. :)

Then I parted ways with my love, and headed south to my parents home.

I was greeted by my grandmothers and mother hanging in the kitchen:)

And my other MAIN MAN was there, too!

Meet Vincent Gabriel. My nephew!

Then we got down to business; haircuttin' time!

Playtime!

It was the perfect sunday. Completed by eating good Ole Chicago :

 My parents are a couple of nuts. I'm lucky :)
