Thankful for love.

Love? Yes Good ole' fashion love. I'm thankful for it. The love we have for people. For our passions. That full on strong feeling, you really can't explain, besides what it is- love. I have lots of love in my life. As we all should. Life is no good without it. 

This past week was pretty amazing, as I turn to take a look back at all that happened. I spent time with my brother, his wife, my nephew in San Diego. Had an early thanksgiving lunch with them. It was great to spend time with my nephew and see all of them. It's been way too long. As well as on actual thanksgiving, spending time with all of my boyfriends family. He is so lucky to have basically, all of his relatives, living so nearby. Everyone brings food, and they spend time together outside, eating and just talking about old stories, etc. It's beautiful. And then the next night, going out of town a little, to visit with my cousin and her husband. It was nice to relax with wine and snacks.... while laughing at her hilarious husband, and playing with her very soft, sweet puppy. 

Ahhh family time. Nothing compares. Then also on Saturday, my boyfriends big 30!!!!! Yep. It was pretty awesome. I took him to a roof top lounge in Venice, for a drink :) It was beautiful. Then we went to the Grove for his favorite restaurant, The Cheesecake Factory. Then afterwards, a surprise for him. I took him to a bar where some his friends were at, that he didn't know would be there :) To play pool and other games... to finish the night. Making him happy- makes me very happy :) His main birthday present- was a trip to NYC which will be happening in a week! Can't wait! Plus I get to see my sister! Yay! I miss my mom terribly. June, will be when I visit her. And I always look forward to that time. 

I hope you all have had a great time with family and friends, and  enjoying tasty healthy food. My next post is how if you may have over did it, a way to get back on track ;) Cherish the moments with your loved ones!
