January 13, my brother flew back to California. Oh how I hate saying hello because I know goodbye will soon follow. The 3 weeks that my brother stayed with us went by way too fast. This time last week we were still together hanging out at the beach with mom, cousins, his fiance, and my boyfie. Funny, we've been doing this hello goodbye thing for 3 years now and I'm still not used to it. The pain of saying goodbye to my brother is always the same and just as painful every time.
My brother made a special treat for me and my mom. It was too cute to be eaten.
Lunch at my brother's favorite Chinese restaurant hours before his flight.There is an emptiness in my heart. Video calls on Skype helps but it's not the same as having him here in person. I try to fill the emptiness with my excitement for July of this year. This July I will be back in California as well. I can't wait to see my brother, spend my birthday in California, and also witness my brother's wedding. Weeeee.... Till then....

your brother looks silly :) I am glad you're not saying goodbye to blogging... you had me worried! LD
love, polly
Aww, darling, it's definitely hard having family members not frequently around and saying goodbye is the worst thing. These photos are so adorable! Hope that you cheer up soon :)
Awwwww how sweet that he came home, am sure you guys had so much fun together!
That special treat is so adorable! And I know what you mean about not being used to saying goodbye ... since my sister moved out to the west coast of Canada I've only seen her (and my niece) twice in two years. So excited for you to visit your brother in July! :)
Don't worry, you'll see him again!
It is so difficult to have loved ones stay so far. I know!
Strength to you!
Awww! I hate goodbyes, too. You'll have a great time, though :) Glad that you will still be blogging!
Love & Cake,
Amber

I hate goodbyes too and you never get used to them.
But it looks like you had an amazing time with your brother! And that special treat looks amazing!
It's hard to only visit with family for a short amount of time, but it sounds like you have a great trip planned for your birthday!
Aww I could so relate!! I hate when I have to say goodbye to my brother too :( You never realize it growing up, but they really are your best friend!
Awww, what sweet times :)
Looks like you had a great time :)

My sister is 13 years younger than I am but I am really close to her because I practically raised her until I moved out after high school. Now I am so far away from her it's so hard. So hear what you're saying. You never get used to it. :( but it's GREAT when they visit :)
awe : ( i know how this feels! i hate being away from family. praying time goes by fast for you!
how wonderful to have such a relationship.
Aww sad :( I know how you feel a little bit. My brother is on a mission right now for our church and I've been missing him soo much.
That treat looks extra yummy! You have a gorgeous family, lucky girl!

I always hate when family gets far away. My brother got stationed in DC for about a year. Didn't get a chance to see him at all since he left. He came back later, but then he moved again, but only about 60 miles away.
That's sweet. I miss my sister and I get to see her multiple times a month!
Love the blog hun! Can't wait to read more!
Happy to be your newest follower <3
Visit sometime, and follow back?

Distance is always difficult. I haven't been that far away from my family yet but I know once I decide to move out of state I most likely won't see them much.
