La la land.

I am so sorry for the delay in posts! I told you in my last post that I was going to be out of town... I was in LA with family!
Last month I met my aunt, and cousin for the very first time.  An entire life spent with out knowing them!

I usually have a really hard time getting to know people... lets be honest, often a little bit awkward with people I don't know. But I was amazed to find out quickly I felt at home with them.
My aunt is an amazing woman who just sort of gets me, and is so willing to get to know me more, and to help me figure some things out... She understands where I am in my life, and just wants to see me thrive.
And my cousin instantly became like a brother to me. We have a lot in common, little things like similar interests, sense' of humor, even down to a common hatred to the same foods.
It is a testament to family, and just how strong a bond can be.

So anyway!! This past week I was able to just hang out with them, go on errands, have dinner, and just spend time together. It was such a blessing.
On my last day my aunt took me with me to work. She is an interior designer, and took me all over LA for pick-ups, drop-offs, and just shopping for samples.  I loved every second of it, but my favorite thing we did was go into different fabric stores.
WOW!! I could spend hours in these shops, feeling all of the different materials, looking at all of the designs and colors, and dreaming about things I could make. I was able to take home a couple of fabrics(thanks Auntie!) and now I am just decided what to do with them.

A few photos to show you some of my adventures..
