Yesterday, a decade later…we still remember.
I spent the weekend doing what I love, with the people that I love.
Doing what we love.
Taking nothing for granted.

Scenes From My Birthday
I’ve had a great time celebrating my birthday this week. Thank you to everyone who made me feel loved and special during my birthday. The morning of my birthday, pancakes with sprinkles were enjoyed. Birthday Pancakes! My colleagues gave me a “birthday girl” ribbon to wear. That was fun. It was very sweet of them […]
Wedding Recap – The First Look
Thank you so much for all the sweet comments you left from the first wedding recap. There will be plenty of wedding talk in the days ahead. It was such a wonderful day and we were so happy to have shared it with those closest to us. There were many friends and relatives who were […]
Meatless Monday – Crispy Garlic and Ginger Tofu
For a whole month during our vacation, I ate a lot of meat. More meat than I am used to. I ate a lot of seafood in Mexico but when we were in the Philippines, I ate meat almost every day. You gotta try the local delicacies right? I also ate a lot of sugar, […]
simple asian cucumber salad
I love cucumber and I’m working on finding ways to incorporate them into summer dishes. Besides a staple in my salads, I’ve also used cucumber weekly to put in my water bottles. Other than that, I don’t really use them any other ways. If there are options for cucumber salads when we are dining out, […]
Baked maple apple oatmeal & HIIT
With family staying with us for the holidays, my usual morning routine has changed. I’m spending more time chatting and catching up in the morning and we are also eating more food than usual. Since I’m not cooking just for myself anymore, one way that I’ve streamlined breakfast is to prep the ingredients the night […]
seeking adventures
I do a lot of thinking in my car during my commute to work. I thought one day that I need to intentionally seek out adventures. I need to plan ahead, need to plan fun trips and need to take some time off. I am ready to take on new adventures. Actually, I’ve been […]
lunch at gypsy den restaurant & becoming an introvert
In this holiday season, I am choosing to be very protective of my time. Well, actually, this has been my theme all year. I don’t want to be soooo busy that I become exhausted. It’s so easy to get caught in everyone else’s busyness, that you really have to recognize when it’s time to […]
Magical Coconut Cookie Bars
On Monday night, the fiance and I planned a simple dinner for Valentine’s Day since we celebrated ahead during our fun weekend in San Diego for Valentine’s weekend. We had a simple salad, whole roasted chicken and dessert on the menu. We both worked on Monday, came home late and started eating around 8pm. I […]
That’s the best way to remember is to not take anything for granted and to spend it with the people you love…. <3333
Thanks Annette. I was thinking that how I felt on the anniverary of 9/11 should be how I feel every day, not just on a day like that. I should try harder to not take things for granted. Sunday was a good reminder of that.
Great way to remember! Love your photoshoot shots as well!
A day we will never forget for sure.
xoxo ❤
