My Girls

Lydia is engaged! So far, everyone I know who has gotten engaged/married are people from college with whom I'm not particularly close. I hear about them, and it's like, "Oh, that's nice" or "Wow, it's about time," and I don't think too much about it. But Lydia, one of my girls- the first of my girls- it will be an amazing reunion, and we are all so happy for her! Last night, we had a six-way chat with Lydia, Ruth, Jessica, Bebe, Debbie, and me! Chi's in India, and we couldn't get a hold of Tien. Still, it was very special. As we get older, and as it gets more difficult to find the time to be together, moments like last night will grow increasingly extremely priceless. I am so blessed to have these ladies in my life. I love you all.

He liked it, so he put a ring on it. -Lydia

Saying Goodbye

i'm sitting in the middle of my bed. it's really comfortable, definitely a lot bigger than my twin mattress. my arms and legs are tired from unpacking, but before i sleep, i wanted to write a little something. around 8pm this evening, we finally pulled into the drive way and opened the door to an extremely excited cody. the ride from norcal was pretty smooth, save the first day when it was raining really hard. yesterday, we spent the night in diamond bar, because 15 hours of straight driving would be too tough on my brother, especially when my mom still has jetlag, and neither of them want me behind the wheel. that reminds me, i going to need to start driving again. yikes. anyway, most of my belongings are put away now, but a lot of my clothes and books are still scattered around the floor, because i don't have any bookshelves or even a dresser at the moment. right now, tucson isn't too different from the bay area in terms of weather. according to my desktop widget, it...

In 2024

What top memories stand out? The year started in AZ with my extended families after Sean and Jeannette’s wedding. My aunt and uncle made delicious buns and foods for us every day and night. I suffered from pneumonia in late January and recovered around my birthday. Henry turned 3 at home. We spent Valentine’s Day at Nation’s. Jubilee went to her first Disney On Ice show with Bella. In the spring, Chris and I took the kids to Japan and Taiwan for two weeks. It was our first international trip as a family. It was wonderful – so much good food, fun, and time with my parents. TeamLab in Tokyo was particularly unforgettable. Upon return, Jubilee had her first choir concert, and she graduated from kindergarten in May! Chris and I recreated the iconic photo of walking down Eleventh Street on July 4, this time holding hands with our children. We took family photos with my parents and with my brother and family. Also in the summer, Chris purchased family season passes for Great America, and tha...

The Large Envelope

this past month has been a long and frustrating waiting game for me. i've been patiently checking the mail every morning in hopes of receiving news from schools. after the interview at rutgers, the only letters i've been getting are the kind that come in small envelopes. the first one was bearable; however, after a while, each rejection was a blow to my confidence. i knew getting into grad school was going to be competitive, but i wasn't prepared for the continual disappointment. so you can imagine my state of ecstasy when i opened the mailbox this afternoon and stared at the large envelope laying inside. in that moment, the only disappointment i felt was that it was 2:30 in the morning in malaysia, and my parents couldn't share my joy. God truly makes all things beautiful in his time. his time. not mine. why is it such a hard lesson for me to learn? new york city, here i come!
