2022 was certainly filled with significant milestones. In May, Alex and I got engaged on a hammock overlooking the Mendocino Coast. In December, we got married in a redwood grove, surrounded by our closest family. And in between, we enjoyed so many lovely moments with our friends and family: my fifteen-year business anniversary, two midwest…
Yes or Yes! This was such a sweet surprise proposal. Darren knew that Yue would suspect that a proposal was coming, because they had already gone ring shopping together. Plus, she knew they had a reservation for The French Laundry where they had dined once before. But he still had some surprises up his sleeve….
September! I’m a bit behind on the personal posts, since I haven’t finished sharing the rest of our grand Midwest baseball tour, but I’ll just sneak in this Bay Area post from September and catch up on the rest later! First, back in the Bay and at the baseball stadium, but not for baseball! It’s…
August! Begins with a virtual Office of Accountability meeting. With babies! Book club, currently discussing Four Thousand Weeks (highly recommend). Flying back from my Midwest tour, still knitting puffs. A bike ride to the Ferry Building Farmers Market Summer bbq party at Steph’s Rainbow French manicure, a month later. Still looking great. Plus, a free…
July recap! We were only in the Bay Area for half of the month, between our trips to San Diego, Milwaukee, Chicago, and my summer camp, TAF. But here is a glimpse at that time in the Bay! First, a very kind gift from my friend Courtney– Taiwanese teas and biscuits from Té Company in…
Alex has a goal to attend an MLB game in all 30 stadiums, so we’ve been making steady progress this year. San Diego was surprisingly still on the list, even though it’s right here in California. So it was time to pay a visit to the Padres while our Giants were on the road there!…
Tahoe is stunning in all seasons– famous for its alpine vistas and world-class skiing in the winter and its clear blue lake and water sports in the summer. We were lucky enough to make visits in both seasons this year. At the end of June, Alex and I drove over to attend a friend’s wedding…
It was so much fun to meet up with James and Jonathan (JJ and JC) for their engagement session all around the Stanford campus, where JC always used to visit JJ during his Ph.D studies. We even ended the session at the very unglamorous loading dock where JC would often wait to pick up JJ…
June recap! Lots of Giants baseball, a Warriors championship, and weddings every weekend, including my last 2020-postponed wedding and a friend’s wedding in Tahoe. We start it with an in-person Office of Accountability meeting! And a couple participants joining from afar. Baby Westy is growing up so quickly. And Courtney hears some exciting news! It’s…
May recap! It was quite the month, with two trips up to Healdsburg and another through Sonoma up to Mendocino County, celebrating 15 years in business as Anna Wu Photography, and even my own engagement! Here’s a look back at the month in the Bay: First off, happy birthday Josh! Here’s Westy admiring Uncle Josh’s…
Yes! We’re engaged! In case you missed my very subtle announcement, you’ll probably want to go back to the previous post to see where it happened. The engagement wasn’t just in that one moment though; after we had agreed to get engaged, it still took seven months for us to make the ring of my…
For Memorial Day weekend, Alex planned us a wonderful road trip through Anderson Valley and over to the Mendocino Coast. We have gone on countless road trips all across California, especially in the last couple years, but this trip was extra special! We started with a visit to the town of Sonoma, happening upon this…
