Cincy, Ohio

I spent the last few days in Cincinnati, Ohio for a personal finance conference. So fun to meet some of my fav podcast hosts and folks around the world who share the same nerdy passion.  Here we are on an urban hike around town. I learned a lot and met some cool folks.

Mari finally moved back into her room ... hardwood floor, squared the round corner and fresh coat of white paint.  She's excited to decorate now. 

Ethan had a great trip to Dubai with his Marshall Business School classmates. He visited lots of businesses and cultural spots. Grateful he had an amazing experience and got back home safely.

Mommy took me out on my bday for yummy Vietnamese lunch.  My favorite bday gift is quality time with my dear friends and family. Grateful for all those I get to spend time with.  Excited to go out with my siblings soon. Missed the boys but grateful for their sweet bday calls. 

Mark was out of town so Mari took me out for a bday dinner date at Bennihana - she's fancy and ordered Japanese wagu. 

Dinner with my awesome neighbors.  Yummy food + great convo = my fav gift. 

My girls since the 6th grade!  We always have so much fun catching up and reminiscing about middle and high school together!  35+ years of friendship.
