a weekly log of our everyday life
For Easter, Jake’s mom gifted us a butterfly raising kit. Basically, you just pay for shipping and the company sends you a jar of caterpillars to raise into butterflies. They send about 5 and guarantee that at least 3 will make it. For the last couple of weeks, we’ve been watching our caterpillars grow and […]

For the first time in a year, we got a taste of what our social life was like pre-COVID. And it was so nice! And expensive…and also tiring (but in all the best ways). On Thursday evening, we were invited over by a friend from Bible study for dinner. After a year of meeting via […]

We celebrated Cindy’s birthday this past week! The ONLY thing she wanted (and has been craving) were Sprinkles cupcakes. And Jake delivered. We both wanted to try all the flavors, but not OD on all the sugar, so we each ate a quarter of each cupcake. Then we each picked the one we like most […]

The title of this week’s blog basically sums it all up. After a year of living in our “new” apartment, we finally got our curtains tailored & hung! We feel so adult. Anything having to do with curtains just naturally makes us feel so “adult” haha. It is so nice to have natural light coming […]

This past Sunday was Easter and we celebrated with Jake’s family! We’ve said this before, but each year Good Friday and Easter Sunday holds more and more significance for us.

Why maternity leave […]

No big highlights or updates this week. Everyday has basically been the same. We joke it’s the “sad repetition of life”. To be clear, it’s not sad at all. It’s mostly just an inside joke between us. Anyway, here are some things from our routine that we’ve been enjoying: ~ eating breakfast, lunch, snacks, and […]

The big highlight of our past week was our babymoon! Ideally, we would have loved to go on one final out-of-country trip before the baby came; however, because of all the travel restrictions due to COVID, we settled on Palm Springs as our getaway destination. We were initially skeptical about what there is to do […]

The big highlight of our week was mini golfing (for the first time in almost a year)!!!! We went with Cindy’s sister and her sister’s boyfriend. It was very nice to be doing something other than watching TV or walking around the neighborhood. We’re starting to really miss “normal” date activities like going to the […]
