Mar 23rd-Mar 31st - Going Home!

My cousin Wes and I got up early and headed to the Dallas airport because I was flying home to see my family and friends! While we were driving we saw lightening and thunder and I got a call that my flight was delayed a little bit so we went to an IHOP nearby! I had pancakes which were delicious and I was glad we got to go before my flight!


At the airport I ran into a lot of difficulties like security not letting me through with a nice pen that my Dad gave me so I paid $15 to send it home. My flight was delayed even more so I was going to miss my connecting flight and the American Airlines representative said he had to leave and another one was too busy to help me. Finally it all worked out and on my flight home I got to see the Washington Monument from the airport!


When I got home I cuddled with Cookie Dough, it felt so good to see her! 


My Mom had gone on a trip to Arizona for work and while being there she went to the Gem and Mineral Show so she showed me the cool pieces she got!


Then my Dad had never been to PF Changs before and he wanted to try it so we went there and enjoyed it! Later at home my cousin Amanda was stopping at her house down the street so I got to see her for a few minutes which was nice. On Wednesday we went to the park by my house and walked on the trail and started to go on the boardwalk but it was too windy. 


Later my Mom and I went shopping to get gifts for upcoming birthdays! For dinner we went to Napa and it was good! Then Thursday was Mike's Mom Helen's birthday! For lunch Helen, Scott, Alex, Mike, Liz from Scott Miller and I went to eat at 2 Vine and it was incredible like always. They brought out desserts for her birthday which was really nice!


That was a great time and then we went to Scott Miller in Webster and the staff surprised her with a cake!


For dinner Helen, Scott, Alex, Jon, Mike, his Aunt Arlene, his Uncle Harold, Michelle from Scott Miller and I all went to Rocco and words can't describe how good it was, like always! First I started with ricotta cheese and charred toast which was amazing and then Mike and I shared truffle oil pizza... dream dinner! 


We had desserts after so altogether I officially ate the most unhealthiest anyone can eat but I enjoyed every second of it haha It was nice that we could all be together to celebrate with Helen!


The next night Jon's band Starlight Cities had a show at The Montage Music Hall so a bunch of us went to see them and Mike mixed their show! 


Saturday I woke up to really sad news that my Great Uncle Jim passed away. He lived in Maine so I did not get to see him a lot but I have great memories of our family trips there to visit my him, my Great Aunt Helen and my Grandpa Joe. It is hard physically losing someone you love but I know they are all with me and my family in spirit. I will always love you Uncle Jim.


During the day I got a call from my Dad saying that he was opening a new knife and he cut his finger badly! He was on his way to the emergency room and Mike and I headed there right away. We walked into the area he was being operated on and the first thing I saw were his white shoes with blood on them. As we got closer I saw the nurse holding towels that were soaked and she asked us to wait in the lobby so that no one would faint. 


He got nine stitches and he was really worried because he needs mobility and feeling in his finger in order to play guitar. We went home to clean up and tried to stay positive. Later at night we had another celebration for Helen's birthday. We took her to Pomodoro and had the staff from Scott Miller surprise her there! Afterwards a bunch of us went to Taylor's Disco Night Club and had a blast! 


Sunday was Easter and I had such a nice time being with my family! My Mom made food at home for lunch which was really yummy and later my Dad chose an Italian restaurant for dinner!


I hope everyone had a happy holiday whether you celebrated Easter or Passover!
