Quality time

Happy 77th Birthday Grandma!  Wishing you good health   

After 2 months, I hit my milestone of 100+ appointments earlier than expected. Grateful for all my clients who trust me to help them reach their financial goals, and more than half of them who left me kind reviews. Reading them reminds me why I do this. I look forward to helping more clients gain confidence and clarity with their finances.  

Boys movie night out. Followed by In and Out. 

Family card game night. So nice to have Ethan home for 2 weeks.

Tyler's USC graduation

Hard to believe Tyler's officially done with college. 

Tyler's fan club and many more who were not able to make it in person. 

So grateful for family who made it all the way down to So Cal to celebrate with Tyler. 

1 down, 2 to go. 

Wang cousins came to support Tyler, missing Logan who's on a school trip to China. 

I hope they continue to carry each other in the years to come. 

Louie Guerrero reunion. I met the Guerrero family when I was 18 years old, they have been so kind to me since. 

So fun to just hanging and chating with dear family and friends 

Trojans - Uncle Michael and T&E's friends 

Mark's God-parents. They have given Tyler much appreciated dorm food breaks by taking him out to eat. 

Extended Louie clan - with Mark's uncle and cousins 

Kids making breakfast at our AirBnB. So fun to eat and play together throughout the day 

Night-time games. Kids stayed up til midnight to play and some adults stayed up til about 3a to chat.  These are the moments I cherish.  

Cousins window shopping on Rodeo Drive. 

KBBQ dinner ... the kids table might have eaten more than the adults. 

Mother's Day 2026 & Tyler's last campus tour

Grateful for these Mama's in my life that I get to see often and share life with. 

Wang family Mother's Day celebration 

Menu: Build your own chirashi bowl, so yummy!  This was Mark's bowl. 

I had so much fun building mine, and even more fun devouring it. 

Teenager cousins making boba from scratch together.

Mother's Day @ Echo Church

Five Crowns card game ... Mari kicked our butt 

On Monday, Mark and I flew down to USC for a day trip to join Tyler's very last campus tour.  He has been a tour guide for all 4 years with great Trojan pride and honor. 

Tyler in his element leading a group of about 40 sharing fun facts and telling punny jokes. 

It was quite emotional at the end when Tyler shared why he joined USC and how grateful he is for his 4 years. We all got a bit emotional. 

Very special that so many of Tyler's friends joined his tour to celebrate this milestone. We are grateful he made so many awesome friends the past 4 years from his academic program (IYA), Christian Challenge and the Admission Office.  

Lunch with Ethan before Tyler's tour. Quick 12-hour field trip to LA, so grateful we can share these experiences together!  We'll be back for graduation soon. 

Visiting Mark's friend's new Japanese shop again, Yutori and Palo Alto. So yummy, go check it out. 

Celebrating Mark's high school friend's bday. 

So many yummy appetizers and fun conversations. 

Soccer win

3-1 win today after a tough loss yesterday. 

Mari had a bday party so we went out for Vietnamese date night. Always fun eating and talking. 

Siblings' dinner - this month we got home before midnight!  

Post soccer practice dinner, Mari introduced me to "build your own noodle soup bowl." 

Mark went to Boulder again for a biz trip and tried elk this time with his team. 

Celebrated a dear friend's retirement. Forgot to take a group pic but did get this pic. 

7a Barry's @ Santa Row class. Workout class felt like a night club, quite fun!
