a weekly log of our everyday life
We say this every year, but the LA Marathon feels like its own holiday here in Los Angeles. Since we’ll be moving this summer, this was our last LA Marathon (until we return)! We went to our usual spot at Federal/Wilshire bright and early to cheer on the elite runners. It’s always so exciting to […]

The highlight of our week was playing Overcooked! We’ve been so bored being cooped up from all the rain and COVID and we were getting bored of just watching TV so we decided to buy Overcooked to play on our Nintendo Switch! The game is so stress-inducing, it’s the opposite of relaxing after a long […]

And we feel awful. Fortunately, we didn’t get it at the same time. Only God knows how we would survive with COVID and take care of a toddler. Cindy caught it first, then just as she was feeling better Jake came down with it. The bright side of it all is that we’ve gotten lots […]

Jake was away again this past week for a second round of flyouts. This round of flyouts was probably much harder than the first even though we both knew what we were in for. For Jake, it was all about keeping up his energy and momentum and making sure each meeting and job talk came […]

Jake had back-to-back-to-back flyouts on the East Coast last week! While exciting, it also meant he was apart from Cindy and Toddler R for one entire week. It’s the longest we’ve been apart since being married. And the longest he’s been away from Toddler R ever. It was difficult but we survived! For Jake, the […]

Happy Chinese New Year! We actually celebrated the holiday a week earlier because Jake was going to be out of town for flyouts! We went out to dim sum with Cindy’s family, walked around a mall afterward to digest, and capped the time off with some boba. Baby R had such a fun time with […]

We left Baby R with Cindy’s parents and went down to San Diego for a little getaway! kinda. Jake had an interview and the hotel was comped so Cindy tagged along! We made a concerted effort to do absolutely nothing. Just quietness and laziness, something we haven’t been able to enjoy in a very long […]
