Aloha business trip

We are finally together again... in Hawaii. We are here for two days on business! Jonathan traveled from DC to SLC to Los Angeles, then to Hawaii. Sunny traveled from Shijiazhuang to Shanghai to Los Angeles and then to Honolulu... all this week.
We will head back to Utah next week...

Another shot of us in DC





Even though this shot is rather blurry, I still like it. It was an amazing Brazilian restaurant on Penn. Ave. in DC!

Congratulations to Sunny!

By the way, congratulations (felicidades) (kudos) to Sunny Chen, Esq.! She has accepted a very important position as Regional Manager in Japan and South Korea for Sunrider International. Congrats!

Our DC Time Together




After finishing the CA Bar exam in Pasadena last week (YAY! Not as painful as she expected, but still a trial with an unknown result), Sunny flew to D.C. to visit her Jonathan. It has been wonderful to be together these last few days. We've been able to take care of wedding plans, tour Georgetown, George Washington, and American Universities Law Schools, visit the Brasilian tourism office, look at some beautiful houses, go grocery shopping, cook together, visit the FDR Memorial, go to the Spanish ward for church in Alexandria, go to Jonathan's internship at Senator Reid's, meet his friends from the Mexican Embassy, hang out with Sunny's cousin Joman, go to Union Station, Pentagon City Mall, shop, and visit the Holocaust Museum (we love it!). We've learned that although it's beautiful in Alexandria and D.C., the street signs are tiny, confusing, and you have to look way over to one side of the road in order to see them; and the freeways have confusing directions and exits pop up without warning. We've spent a lot of time getting lost and unlost, and we've had time to be together, which is what we wanted so badly for the last few weeks.
Sunny has to leave today for LA to start working with her parents at Sunrider tomorrow and go with them on business to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China. It will be another 18 days until we see each other, and it'll be hard, but we'll get through it. We've learned that separation is not good for us and we don't want to do it that much in the future at all...especially not for 2 months! We're so thankful for having these few days in D.C., and we'll be excited to see each other on Aug. 19 to go to Hawaii for a few days to plan our wedding there. Goodluck to everyone with work and their families :)

Jonathan & Sunny - Since 2005
