We finally got to experience some winter this past week! Los Angeles got nearly a week of rain and cold weather! By cold weather, we mean like 50 degrees F (we would never be able to survive anywhere colder) Other updates: Cindy got a cold, so she was sleeping for most of the week. And […]

Jake survived his first quarter as a PhD student and we celebrated his birthday! This first quarter of grad school has been tough for Jake. He keeps saying it has been one of the hardest things he has ever experienced. We’ll admit, we weren’t sure if he was going to make it to the end […]

“Restaurant Date Jar”. We made a list of all the walk-able restaurants around our apt and put them in a jar. We’re hoping this encourages us to be a little more adventurous! The idea is simple: 1) pick a slip from the jar 2) go eat at the place you picked. We have to confess […]
