Another surplus sale! Lake Washington School District had a surplus sale, so naturally we had to go. We woke up at 6am and stood in the cold for an hour, but it was worth it! We ended up getting a fairly new projector for $25, a big box of tessellation tiles and blocks for $5, [...]
It was raining dogs and cats today so I guess that means one thing: Summer is officially over and our Northwest Autumn weather has returned . We had a pretty eventful summer this year! Main highlights: 1) We took a big Chau family vacation to Florida 2) Jon got his hands on a $99 HP [...]
Well, once again we’re guilty of not updating the blog . We have been busy little bees though. In April we spent the entire month training for a 5K race that was sponsored by Microsoft. At first, I think we were just doing it because it was free, but then we got really into it. We were [...]
I think I’ve found my new calling in life. VELODROME RACING! We had a beautiful spring day yesterday and Jon and I made use of the not often seen sun. We set out on a bike ride without a set destination and ended up biking down some unknown trails. About an hour and a half [...]
Jon and I went on our honeymoon to Southern California. We went to all of the big theme parks including California Adventures where I found my favorite ride, which no longer exists :’(, the Orange Stinger. Who could resist swinging around in a gigantic Orange? Who cares if all of the other riders are 10 [...]
It was my birthday last week. I’m 26 and I’m really feeling the effects. Despite my quickly aging body, we were able to go out and do some fun stuff. REI had a “garage sale” with tons of heavily discounted items. We got there half an hour early and there was already a huge line. [...]
Well, a couple of weeks ago Jon and I thought we’d step up our exercise game and get bikes so that we could save on gas $ and get a little bit of a work out at the same time. I know from the pictures they look pretty cool, by my bike was only $60 [...]
We took a trip to Las Vegas for my cousin’s wedding. It was a really fun trip, but the heat and dust was ridiculous. We found ourselves planning out where we were going based on where there would be air conditioning and how hot it would be. We decided to try some fancy hotels out [...]
This Saturday we took another quick trip up to Vancouver. We met up with a family I knew from my mission that had moved to Canada. It was fun to catch up on how they’ve been and find out all the news from the people I knew in the Philippines. It turns out there’s a [...]
Well, I’m officially old. I turned 24 yesterday and as usual Jon planned a great birthday surprise for me. I was totally in the dark this time and my closest guess for what he planned wasn’t even remotely close. We drove up North about an hour where Jon had found a KANGAROO FARM!!!! It was the strangest [...]
