Some days you wake up and have everything l planned out. Where you're going to eat, what time you'll be ready, and when you'll come home. My days are usually not like that and I've found out that those are usually my best days. Today was one of those days. My mom woke me up and said that she wanted me to go out to LA with her. I am typically reluctant to go, because I don't do good with the traffic, but I went anyway. While on the way over there she told me to find a fun coffee spot for us. We ran some errands at the Flower District and I got my usual bouquet of colorful flowers. Flowers are my love language and every time we stop by LA I have to get at least one bunch of them. After we ran errands we drove not even five minutes away to Stumptown Coffee Roasters. I found it on Pinterest and knew that we had to try it. We tried the Iced Vanilla Latte's and they were amazing. They are pretty big with their cold brew, but if you want something sweeter the latte is the best. Before we finished our coffee orders, we were thinking of getting food, when the girl at the register told us that it would be better to order from the food truck outside. The truck was called Free Range LA. It was some of the best chicken i've had. My favorite was the crispy potatoes, omg they are amazing. My mom and I usually find ourselves on little adventures here and there and some have been greatly successful, like this one. This one was also different, because today is different.
Exactly a year ago today, my family went through a rough time, and I wasn't sure if we were going to come out of it. We were bent so far we almost broke. So seeing how far we've come and knowing that God brought us through a time we didn't think we could get past is such a miracle. I tend to reminisce on where I was the year before and reflect on where I am now. Since that dark day my family has grown closer and stronger as a unit and I am so thankful to have them. We are all in a different place than we were last year and it's great to see the progress. My mother and I talked and cried and were able to really let some things go. With our talks alone, it was worth the trip, the food and flowers were just extra.
