The next day was St. Patrick's Day! I miss going to the parade in my hometown in Rochester but I tried to find something to do. Isabella and I planned to go to the Melrose Trading Post and I waited until she was ready to go in the afternoon. After we ate at Spoon by H for lunch and I had a yummy caprese sandwich!
Then we went to Shore Bar in Santa Monica where there was a DJ and we went upstairs to see the VIP area that had a cottage feel to it.
On Monday I went to Erica's house for lunch and it was amazing! She made a salad with apple slices and pomegranate seeds in it that was so good. There were also onion knots and a main course of this cheese-filled bread that thinking about makes me drool a little right now haha
That was so nice and then I headed to a casting in the next town over for Stila Styles cosmetics and they were really nice. Afterwards I went to Ford to say bye for now because I was going to visit family and go back home for a few weeks.
At night I started to pack a little because I had so many things and only one day left. My last day I woke up and there was someone there to clean the apartment and I told her I was moving out the next day and I did not want my room cleaned. Then I headed to Spoon by H where I got banana milk bubble tea and they gave me a complimentary iced apple green tea that was so good!
Erica's salon Studio DNA moved into a new location that was nearby and she told me to come check it out. It was very modern with white walls and mirrors, it was really nice! She was available then so she blow-dried my hair which was sweet of her!
When I got back to the apartment my stuff was all moved around, the maid had cleaned even though I told her not to. I told Isabella and she said that she pays the maid to clean the whole apartment so she told her to clean everything. Then she told me to help her cook because her boss was coming over for dinner. It was nice of her to get me cheese raviolis because she remembered I am a vegetarian. I was helping her cook and trying to work on packing at the same time.
Isabella left for work and I did laundry and finished packing. When I was done I realized I did not remember packing a wrap bracelet that Mike gave to me that I left in my bathroom that morning. I looked in my purse where I usually put it and could not find it. I tried not to panic because it could have been elsewhere in my luggage. Then I cuddled with Skittles and was sad that I had to say goodbye.
I got up early and flew from LA to Texas to visit my family there! I flew Virgin Airlines which was interesting but cool.
My cousin Wes and his girlfriend Hana picked me up from the airport and brought me to my Uncle Roscoe and Aunt Karen's house! It was so nice seeing them because it had been a while! Then the five of us went out to dinner at a Chinese buffet that was really good! Of course I had to try a little bit of every dessert lol
At night we watched American Idol together and the contestants were really talented! The next morning I looked around and it reminded me of great times in the past when I went there to visit and it felt good to be back! :)
Later we watched American Idol and then Wes took me to my cousin Joseph and his wife Kristen's house! We hung out and talked for hours which was so nice catching up and sharing stories. Their doggie Ity Bity was cute as always and I met their new pup named Major Chandler.

Friday morning I looked through my luggage and knew that something happened to my bracelet. My roommate said that her nor the maid took it but I had it at the apartment and then it was gone. I am very sad that someone has it and will not give it back because not only was it a really cool bracelet but it was very sentimental to me.
Even though it hurts I know that it is the love behind the gift that really counts, not the item itself and I am not going to let anyone make my life miserable because of something they did wrong. Sorry for the tangent but I know everyone experiences losing something that is valuable to them.
Anyway, that day my Uncle left work early to spend more time with me which was really nice of him and we had a great time looking through photo albums of old pictures of my family. When everyone else came home we went to dinner at a place called David's that my family knows the owner. The food was delicious and we got got some yummy desserts!
Then I had to get ready to leave the next morning. I didn't get to see my cousin Blake who was away at college but I am so glad that I made the trip to Texas! It was so nice to see my family there and their generosity meant so much to me. Thanks again fam, I love ya'll!
