2024, before moving ahead

2024 taught me that in life, no matter what year it is, we will make plans and many times those plans will not go the way we wanted and we will make mistakes. We will also disappoint people. 2024 was full of really beautiful moments and really hard ones, and as it comes to a… Continue reading 2024, before moving ahead

Pushing The Limits

This time I am really pushing the limits. I have two weeks to come up with three different papers and things are not looking good. Actually the final copy of one of the papers isn’t due until the 2oth, but I still need to come up with some kind of draft by the 9th. On the one hand… Continue reading Pushing The Limits

Wandering Thoughts

It’s pretty amazing to me how one small little thought in our minds has the capacity to spread out all over the place like a meticulously created web that traps you in. My husband and I were talking about it this morning and he gave me a perfect example of exactly this kind of thought process. He said it’s like this Zen cast he had been… Continue reading Wandering Thoughts

Understanding Limitations and A Good Attitude

It’s been a busy few days since I last posted and we got back from vacation. What I’ve been struggling with most is feeling so tired at times. Yesterday was my first day back at school and at the end of the day as much as I wanted to get started on a list of things I need… Continue reading Understanding Limitations and A Good Attitude

Godparents

Today my husband and I baptized my cousin’s daughter, Miranda, with her boyfriend/partner. My mom and cousin did such an exceptional job with the decorating, organizing, and food. I’ll share some pictures tomorrow, especially the ones of me dressing Miry because I have nearly no experience with this and thankfully Miry was very cooperative with… Continue reading Godparents

Traveling And Appreciating What You Have

After a long day of travel my husband and I got home last night at 10pm, exhausted and so happy to walk through our door and get that feeling of home. I can’t even explain it but maybe some of you have felt it, it’s like a loving hug. Our flight from Paris to Los Angeles… Continue reading Traveling And Appreciating What You Have

Napping On A Cobblestone Floor and More Explorations

My dogs are barking! We have done so much walking and exploring between yesterday and today that my calves are sore. The good thing is we’ve also been taking a lot of breaks in between and I’ve even napped on a cobblestone floor on the Ile St. Louis overlooking the Seine River while my husband… Continue reading Napping On A Cobblestone Floor and More Explorations

Connected, in Paris

Figured out how to connect to our hotel’s free WiFi, woohoo! It’s Sunday here in Paris and my husband and I are relaxing in our room before starting the day. We’re staying at this really cute and Eco friendly hotel named Eiffel Seine which is like 5 minutes walking distance to the Eiffel Tower. It’s… Continue reading Connected, in Paris

Procrastination

This is going to be short because it’s very late and I should be in bed. Today was a great day at work, my last day before going on vacation and it was productive but not stressful. After work I walked Biggie and then ran a few errands and pushed the limits of my procrastination… Continue reading Procrastination
