These are the days of…

…ordering Ike’s sandwiches on a tired evening and getting to see their Christmas wrappers:

…visiting a new coffee shop in Sunnyvale:

…learning a Chinese song from my teenage years that has become more popular, and adding all the 注音 for the words I don’t know:

…taking photos of JJ before he pooped everywhere:

…ordering out from one of my favorite Taiwanese places on another tired night:

…checking out a brunch place with Jacob:

…making our own version of Taco Bell’s Cheesy Fiesta potatoes at home:

…catching a golden hour sunset at my internship after being done with work. It’s crazy how both my speech and counseling internships have been in this area and I’ve been able to witness this:

…going to Modesto over the holidays to see some fall scenery, run into some cats, and visit a coffee shop in the area:

…catching a photo of the fog that rolls in near my other internship site:

…and attending a retreat with Cory Muscara! I will make its own blog post for this:

Thanks for reading !
