Alex and I usually go up to Tahoe at least once or twice a year. This January, we went up for a long weekend so Alex could go snowboarding, while I lived my lodge life, staying at our Airbnb and working on my wooden mahjong set that I’ve been carving! See a summary of our…
It’s funny to look back and realize that it’s only been a year since Alex and I started playing mahjong with all our friends and just over a year since we bought a record player and started collecting vinyls. In that time, these two interests have become such big hobbies in our lives. It was…
2023 was such a love-filled year. The fact that I am only now posting this review from Q2 in 2024 is an indication of how abundantly we’ve packed our lives from last year through to now. It was a year filled with travels, including Arizona and Texas for three more ballparks; Jackson, Wyoming for Alex’s…
One week after our wedding, we went right back to Reeve Wines for their members’ weekend. We originally weren’t sure we would attend since we were literally just there, but instead we decided to stay the night in Healdsburg and turn it into a mini honeymoon! It’s always such a lovely time sitting at the…
