great time with family

I had a very good weekend. In the beginning I was anti-valentines day because I didnt have a significant other to share the love with. Then I realized it's not all about who you are in love with, but who you genuinely love and who loves you back. I spent valentines day with the people I love the most and I had the best time ever. The day started with Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles with my older sister, my nieces, my nephew, my brother-in-law, and my little sister. The food was GREAT (as always), it was 80 degrees in LA and everthing was perfect. After breakfast I spent a little time with my little sister and we went to my father house where we celebrated my little brother's birthday. I lost my brother when I was 9 years old, he was 5 years old. I think about him often. He would have been 21 years old on February 14, 2010. In memory of my little brother, we had a BBQ, music, drinks, games, cake, and family love. We celebrated and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. After that party ended I went out with a friend to visit another friend where we shared many laughs and had a good time.

Monday did not start out as well as the weekend did. I had plans to make some visits which didn't occur because of my vehicle access. Therefore, it resulted in me being stranded in the house all day. My iPhone died around 11am and I was without a vehicle and a phone all day. It wasn't too bad because it gave me time to relax.

I completed my list. Everything I needed was bought. Anything else that I may need more of will be purchased soon. I have visions on exactly what needs to go inside of the suitcase, but I still have not yet began packing the suitcase. I feel so much better that I have had the opportunity to spend time with family and friends. More to come this week!! Now we are getting ready for the party. I am grateful to have a wonderful sister who is taking on the task of organizing this event. She and my brother in law are opening up their home for us to celebrate my going away. I am really going to miss my sister and the kids. Everytime I think about it I get emotional because the love is so genuine.

That's it for the night! Time to go to bed everyone around me are snoring and I am the only one awake
nite nite :)
