The Happiest Two Years


Lyndon and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary this month. This is our first anniversary we have spent together. Last year I came down with mono two days before our anniversary and the day Lyndon had to move up to New York so he could start classes. It was very sad. 

This year competely made up for last year. Lyndon is so much better than I at planning fun activities for these romantic occasions. I have to brag on him because Valentine's Day and this anniversary have been absolutely spectacular. Whatever he plans he always keeps secret from me. It is always fun trying to figure out what he is planning. 

This year I woke up to find a note that lead me on a small treasure hunt around the apartment. The note also said that I needed to drop Cosette off at my friend's apartment and meet Lyndon at the Toy's 'R' Us in Times Square by the lego Empire State building (so romantic!!!). From there he whisked me off to a Japanese fushion restaurant, Eno, on the East side to wrap up our Asia adventures.

These past two years have been the best and craziest years of our lives. We have moved seven times, got a masters degree, finished undergrad, started law school, had a beautiful baby, been to nine different countires and three contintnents, and all sorts of other wonderful things. It has been a blast! 


I look forward to the millions of years to come.

Traveling Half Way around the World

Image
We made it to Manila! We flew over the US and the Pacific Ocean to get here. Our total travel time was 55 hours. It was long but surprisingly not bad at all. Cosette was an angel and the Haneda Airport in Tokyo was like a hotel. If those two things had been any different attitude in writing would not be so positive. This odessy of a journey begun way before our first flight. Packing up our apartment for our subletters took a lot longer than we supposed it would. So instead of being refreshed and ready for the long trip over we were tried and I did not want to get out of bed. We got enough sleep to keep on going till our flight from NYC to San Fransicso where we tried to rest. That flight for me was the worst. Cosette did sleep but was up for a lot of it. The plane was cramped and Lyndon and I were seperated by the aile. Thankgoodness for kind and patient people who sat next to us. Playing at the San Fransico airport.   Our flight to Japan was awesome. We had a

Remote Learning Part 1

Remote learning is over for now, thank goodness. We have been doing remote learning since March 20. We are experts at google classroom, zoom meetings, and google meets. It's been rough, but we did it!  This post is long and detailed about what each kid had to do everyday for school. It was intense. The kids did wonderfully. Their teachers are amazing! They worked around the clock to learn all the new technology, meeting with students individually. I received personal phone calls from them asking what they could do to help and also talking to my kids. I am so grateful for the teachers they had this year.  All three kids participated in remote learning. Each grade/teacher did something different. What they all had to do was answer and attendance question by noon, read for thirty minutes a day, and I-ready (an assessment program that helped determine where they were in math and reading).  Third Grade: Cosette's assignments were what she was doing in school. She completed two huge

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! This has become one of my favorite holidays in the last few years. This year especially I am really into it. It probably has to do with my sweet Lyndon who proposed to me on V-Day four years ago. Since then he has made Valentine's Day a fun and special day. He always surprises me with something fun. Usually we go eat some where fabulous and go see a ballet or opera. He likes to do something cultural on this speical day. This year I am getting into the spirit more. Cosette can do a lot more things. We made special Valentine's for our families and made yummy cookies. She kept sneaking cookie dough and eating it. She is my daughter.  The finished product waiting for Lyndon. I went to the Cake Boss Bakery last year to get Lyndon something for V-day and was inspired to make the dark chocolate bowls filled with chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lot easier that I anticipated. Oh, and that cloth on the table are the pajama pants
