    Love & Marriage

    Life comes at you fast and if you’re lucky…it’s a big beautiful mess of love, sweat and tears. On Sunday, October 4th… we got hitched. It was a randomly cool & rainy day in the middle of a heatwave in Los Angeles. Our family and friends laughed and cried right along with us. And trust…

    We’re getting married!

    Finally? I know, I know. After 10 years of friendship, which include 8 years of dating, 5 years of living together and 2 years of being engaged, we’re clearly in no rush for much of anything. So, we thought we’d go ahead and spend way too much money to party with our family and friends…

    I almost didn’t address this here. I’m still debating it as I type. But a part of me feels like it’s wrong not to. On July 21st, my mom passed away. ^And that was incredibly hard to type. I won’t go into what I’m feeling or how I’m dealing with it. I’ll handle that privately.…

    date night.

    Yong and I live together. Commute to work together. Are usually in some sort of communication throughout the day (AIM, WhatsApp, texting, etc) when we’re not physically together. Its not a hard-set rule, not a trust issue. Just something that came about from how our relationship formed. We like it, it works. The day it…

    sixty.

    if you would’ve asked me 4 years ago how i’d be celebrating my mom’s 60th birthday i would’ve told you that we’d be half way around the world, drinking wine and shopping it up. shopping was my mom’s favorite past time. something she lovingly passed on to me. this past friday i had to settle…
