a weekly log of our everyday life
We went into the weekend with zero plans, but somehow managed to pack it full of fun at the last minute! The biggest highlight of our week was attending the 2019 People’s Choice Awards! (more on that later). On Friday night, we went to a Halloween party hosted by a couple of friends from Jake’s […]

This past week was… H A L L O W E E N ! We didn’t do much this Halloween. We just went out to Jake’s hometown and spent some time with his mom and brothers while passing out candy. It was very low-key (we didn’t even dress up!), but enjoyable. We really want to […]

We ended our looOOooOOoong and busy week with a sushi making night! It was a much needed and much deserved (IOHO) dose of fun! The night was hosted by Jake’s friends from his PhD program. We learned the process from the wife of Jake’s PhD classmate (who is from Japan). Jake sheepishly admitted that he […]

It was really refreshing and relaxing to spend that quality […]

What a week! It’s been packed with lots of busyness at work (for Cindy), wrapping up projects before school starts (for Jake), and hanging out with our friends and family. We’re exhausted, but also grateful for the busyness because it means we are blessed. We celebrated momma and poppa Wang’s birthday this past weekend with […]

Not much really happened this week (again). Our evenings together mostly consisted of a run, a 7 minute ab workout, and dinner with TV. (doesn’t seem like the ab workout is really working…but that may be because we eat too many sweets lol). We did go mini-golfing Friday evening with friends from Jake’s PhD program. […]

Despite the fact this past week was considered a “short” work week with the Labor Day long weekend, it felt like a long one to us. For one, we had a termite mating swarm happen in our apartment. It was only localized to one room, but it was still horrifying. It’s since been locally treated. […]
