After becoming such homebodies this past year, we’ve decided to try something new on Saturdays. The 1st & 3rd Saturday of the month will be Farah’s and the 2nd and 4th will be mine to plan a day that will involve one activity and a meal. Exploring new areas and creating memories together is our goal! It’ll be fun to discover new things as well as have a surprise for each other every other week! When it comes to nurturing relationship, we know that growth only comes by effort, so we have decided to plan special surprise dates for each other. The fact is that we both work at home and we can use a little extra injection of excitement and to simplify even further, we just need to get the heck out of the house!! This is not to say that we need to do something extraordinary to have a healthy marriage, but we definitely need to be more intentional about how we spend time together. So it’s time to get out and enjoy life!! This Saturday is mine! Wish us luck!!

I started a new blog on a personal topic: weight loss. I’ve gained a few over the past few years and it’s time to shed the extra pounds by establishing healthy eating habits and a regular exercise routine! Keeping a journal of my thoughts and record of my food intake are definitely good for the process. Since the topic is unrelated to most of the things I like to talk about here, I went ahead and created an entirely different blog. Read along if you would like at www.coryisfat.com! It’s not as self-deprecating as it sounds and it is exaggerated in some ways for fun, but it’s definitely a serious effort on my part. I appreciate your support! You can subscribe to the blog if you want updates and I welcome your comments and participation!!

“Mi Chinita” My first screen print. Learned a lot for the first time–what to do and mostly what not to do. This is the end product, a semi-wearable shirt!

900 miles is plenty to drive in three days but it is well worth the distance when it involves seeing family. Here is a collection of snapshots from our quick trip to Northern California.
