Family

I got to see my sister today!!! She came to Cali with her husband and two kids for a week vacation. They started down in San Diego and came up to Universal Studios today. It was so nice to be around family.

They came to see my apartment this morning and then I took them to the Starbucks where I work. My niece really wanted to go to the psychic book store down the street so I took her there. Her reactions to it were so funny; she was slightly freaked out by the sticks with skulls on the top and the naked statues… hahaha.

After the visit to Starbucks and the book store they went to Universal Studios. I was going to go with them until I found out it cost a pretty penny to get in.

Once they were finished at Universal Studios I went to dinner with them at a 50’s restaurant named Mel’s. I was so nice having time to just sit and talk with her and the family.

I am so glad that my sister and I are starting to reconnect. We got really close about eight years ago, but then I went off to college and she got married and had a baby. We haven’t taken the time to build that relationship back up since then. The funny thing is that up until I moved here we worked at the same company for a year and a half, and we still didn’t find time.

We both decided during the visit that we want to have that close relationship again. So, starting today, we begin anew. We are even trying to plan a girls weekend where she would fly out here and we would spend two days laying by the pool and getting massages. I would love it so much.

It’s been a very good day.

Side note: I had an audition yesterday for a student film, and I am feeling really really good about it. I will find out by Wednesday. Wish me luck.
