a weekly log of our everyday life
The two biggest highlights of this past week were our Disneyland trip with Cindy’s sister and, of course, Mother’s Day! A couple of months ago, Cindy’s sister received a couple of free tickets, from work, to Disneyland. Cindy LOVES Disneyland, but Jake doesn’t really like the idea of paying an arm and a leg just […]

A couple of months ago, we signed up for the 2020 LA Marathon! Even though it is about a year away, we’ve already started our training. Our goal, for now, is to run at least 20 miles a week comfortably. Once we’re able to do that, Jake is putting us on a “4 hours and […]

The only highlight of this past week was Avenger’s Endgame. (just kidding…but really…) On a whim, we decided Thursday morning to go to the Thursday night showing of Avenger’s Endgame and were surprisingly able to get good seats! For the past year, Jake has been obsessing over the movie. Every morning, while making breakfast, Jake […]

Cindy got sick…AGAIN… so she was sleeping a lot this past week. She thought working with kids meant she’s developed an immunity of steel, but she’s been getting sick a lot this past school year. She has a theory that her immune system is updating itself…like a software update…. Jake is skeptical. Jake’s been studying […]

Highlights of The Week: 1. Jake got sick. 2. Jake got Cindy sick. (again). 3. We went to a lecture at UCLA by Richard Thaler, a nobelauriate. That’s one of the “perks” of being married to a PhD student– going to lectures for “fun”. But really, we’ve gone to some pretty interesting talks, Q&A’s, and […]
