(with her professor)
She was also blessed to get a job at a great PR firm in Santa Monica that she starts this week - I'm a proud sis.
While there I spent some qt (quality time) with my mom and sister playing euchre, shopping, and of course....eating. We all consider ourselves avid food enthusiasts and took advantage of some of the amazing restaurants that Los Angeles has to offer. I probably gained 10 lbs this weekend, but I don't even mind since I got to taste some life changing ravioli at Osteria Mozza, for real. I forgot to take pictures at most dinners because I was too busy inhaling the food, but here are some snaps from the weekend.
Blueberry Mimosas at breakfast
Giant pancakes at the Griddle Cafe
Fruit tarts at the Grove Farmer's Market
Some other highlights of the trip included a night at the Laugh Factory, a comedy club in downtown LA which made me laugh so hard I was close to tears, Euchre games by the pool, and an Arnold Schwarzenegger/ Maria Schriver sighting at the graduation. I'm happy to be back, but I so needed that family time.
And some other exciting news....we got a puppy today! She is a rescue Manchester Terrier/Dachshund mix! We are still working on a name, any suggestions?
wow, that is truly amazing! congratulations to your sister! :)

Wow, your sister is gorgeous! Congratulations to her!
ReplyDeleteAnd your puppy is so cute! I'm HORRIBLE with pet names..I wish I could give you some cute ideas..but I would come up with names like Penny or Lola or something lame like that!
I wanted to name her Penny, but Rob said no :( she is still nameless, poor thing.
DeleteThis is the second time I've heard good things about the Griddle Cafe! We just moved to LA a few months back, and apparently I've got to check this place out.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your sister!
The griddle is truly life changing. We got a plate of pancakes for the table (5) and couldn't even finish them, but they are so good! Definitely a must.
DeleteGAH! I miss LA. Not the traffic. But the food. I'm all about the food.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your sister! I wanted to go to USC but ended up at USD in San Diego instead. One letter off. Close enough.

Do it! I have no idea what it is exactly that she does, but she seems to like it. I am secretly (well openly) jealous that she has a job already where I still have a million years of school left.
