A bilingual blog for a binational family.
Let me tell you a little bit about my cousin Heather. Heather and I grew up wearing matching dresses that my grandmother made for us, and the only reason I REALLY loved those dresses (I hadn’t learned to appreciate that my grandmother made them or that they were darling dresses) was because it was SO […]
The way my cousin tells the story, my grandmother and grandfather were driving through Colorado with their kids (my dad and his 4 siblings) and their car kept breaking down, so while they were on the side of the road fixing the car my uncle Scott had plenty of time to marvel at the mountainous […]
It was Friday night before our cousin Heather’s wedding and we needed to find something low key to do since the next day would be packed with fun activities. After the rehearsal dinner, we all decided to engage in a little of what Leslie’s parents call “forced family fun” – and Andrew (also our cousin […]
One of our must-do things in Denver was to go up to the mountains. Due to time constrains and important events already scheduled for our visit, we couldn’t take a long trip, so we had to find a place close to the city where I could see some real Colorado landscapes. We got a recommendation […]
Our adventure in Denver started with the surprise early arrival of Leslie’s brother Ian the same night that we arrived. He was working at a conference in California and the original plan was that he would arrive in Denver on Friday with his wife Andrea but he was able to change his ticket to arrive […]

Last Saturday our friend Bhumika had my Sociology cohort over to her apartment to make dumplings! Bhumika is from Nepal and she told us ” the Nepali idea of getting together and having fun is making and having mo:mo: or dumplings.” Last year our cohort got together all the time because we always studied statistics together […]
Last week, two of our good friends Matt and Lauren got engaged and we were there to document the whole event. Matt told Javi to set aside a particular evening in October so that we could go to the Grand Ole Opry and photograph his proposal to Lauren during one of the songs. We were […]
Leslie and I have acquired a taste for different foods that we were not used to eating when we were younger. Sometimes we like to be just like kids that refuse to eat something…but then we try it and LOVE it! So recently we’ve fallen in love with hot chicken. We went from buffalo wings […]
