These are the days of…

…seeing wholesome reactions to the election results at school:

… finding out and being excited and stressed out about obtaining Taiwanese citizenship (this is a confusing chart, but it outlines what to do in order to receive something called a “household registration copy”):

… hanging out with JJ the furry baby:

.. discovering a hidden, small Taiwanese food store right next to the post office (which I have not bought anything from yet):

… finally attending a French meet-up after almost 4 years at Cocola in Santana Row (and bringing JJ):

… having JJ hang out under our warm living room couch blanket for a little bit:

… going through a series at church about loving our neighbors:

… having an impromptu date night MOD pizza and Modo donuts. This was my first time ordering spicy tomato sauces for the pizza and I regretted it, not because of the spiciness, but because it literally did not taste good:

… making (too much) green onion pancake+eggs+turkey for breakfast (with a dipping sauce of hot water, soy sauce, and honey):

… bringing JJ to work with his sweater since it’s cold outside:

… being nominated for Yelp elite status !:

… making more delicious hot cocoa with delicious organic, fair-trade hot chocolate and stirring in cinnamon with it:

… finally putting pretty DIY wallpaper sticker on this Freewrite traveler ! It actually took me a few tries and it’s still not 100% perfect, but it looks very nice:

… visiting a marriage small group and playing this really silly game where we draw one picture and then every other couple adds something to the picture:

… buying the Oolong tea flavor of this really delicious 啊里山 brand from 99 ranch:

… listening to the Wicked soundtrack before eventually also watching the film (note the little pink and green brooms) !

… also listening to the Moana 2 soundtrack ! I have yet to see it, but have already bought tickets to see it with my husband and brother-in-law Thanksgiving morning !

Thanks for reading !
