a weekly log of our everyday life
Instead of summarizing our week, we decided to hone in on a special moment we had together. Cindy keeps a memory box filled with trinkets and old journals. And Jake keeps all his old photos on a hard drive. On Friday, as part of our date night, we went through Cindy’s memory box as well […]

In an attempt to prove to Cindy he doesn’t get “man colds”, Jake played off like his flu like it was nbd. It wasn’t until Cindy got sick later this week that she realized just how bad Jake was probably feeling. Jake’s learning to take time to rest when he’s sick. And Cindy’s learning that […]

Happy New Year Everyone! We’ve completely revamped our blog with a new look and a new name! (we’re pretty sure the word “Polaroid” is trademarked, so we didn’t want to get in trouble) One thing we’re learning about ourselves is that we obsessively work on projects. This is normally a more pronounced problem for Jake […]

This week’s highlight: Wedding! We attended Cindy’s dad’s cousin’s son’s wedding this past weekend. It’s pretty hard to believe that despite that many degrees of separation, that side of the family is relatively close. In Chinese culture, there is a specific title or name given to each person, on each side of the family. So […]

Happy Thanksgiving! We spent Thanksgiving with Jake’s family this year. Since Cindy’s parents were out of town, Cindy’s sister and her sister’s boyfriend came along also! Our first inter-family gathering since the wedding and it was so much fun! Jake’s family sure knows how to pack a lot into a day. We were surprised at […]

We had a Thanksgiving potluck with our bible study last week. With all the busyness of work and school and life, we haven’t been to bible study in over month. The night of hanging out with friends renewed our appreciation for our bible study. We realized we’ve been taking our bible study for granted when […]
