a weekly log of our everyday life
Jake attended his first in-person conference (since the pandemic shutdowns) this past weekend! In February of 2020, we bought new dress shirts, ties, and pants for Jake in anticipation of all the conferences he would be attending starting that year. Finally, after two years, Jake was able to wear his “new” clothes! We were both […]

Soo….we started trying this past month! Spoiler: nothing happened. But we just wanted to share some of our thoughts and feelings from the journey so far. Since this is a more private topic, we will keep this post private until we feel like sharing it publicly. We’re learning just how hard it is to get […]

What a whirlwind of a week it’s been. It’s hard to believe 2 weeks ago, we were running a marathon and now we’re just staying at home…doing our part social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. For the most part, we’ve both been working from home. Jake spent the majority […]

Winter break ended for the both of us. Cindy is back at work and Jake started Winter Quarter! Break has been refreshing, but now it’s time to get back into our routines (both new and old). It’s kind of nice to go back to work and school, respectively. It means consistency. During break, we were […]

Hosting Christmas It was Christmas this past week! As we mentioned in our previous post, we hosted Christmas this year, with both our families, in our tiny apartment. We weren’t sure if our little apartment would be able to fit everyone from both sides of our immediate family (about 13 people) but it did! Everyone […]

The biggest highlight of our week was free Lululemon!!! (well…technically, we paid $10 to attend the event that got us free Lululemon…) A couple of weeks ago, we signed up to attend a “Field Day” put on by YesRally. The first 100 sign ups got free Lululemon outfits and a swag bag. We can’t believe […]

This past weekend, Jake attended a conference in D.C. where he presented one of his projects! It was a really exciting experience and opportunity. But it also meant a weekend apart for us. Since being married, this was Cindy’s first weekend home alone and Jake’s first weekend away from home. Cindy In the days leading […]
