happy birthday mom!

while in california we also got to celebrate mom's birthday! we all went down to the orange circle and ate dinner at the filling station then walked around and ate gelato, got milk shakes at bruxie and window shopped.
i love my dear mother SO much! i am so grateful that although i don't live as close anymore, i can still travel home often to spend time with family during these special moments.
love you mom!

my evening with jessica

after far too long of being apart, my dear friend jessica and i got together last night for some much needed catching up. it was a lovely evening with food, frozen yogurt, browsing through vintage shops and enjoying the beautiful weather down at the orange circle. it felt so good to see jessica again. she is a good friend from high school that i have made many many memories with. many memories that are probably quite embarrassing, yet very dear to my heart.
