So glad I was able to get together with my Symrise girls for lunch! We social distanced as much as possible and didn’t share any food! What a treat this was!!! I even had a cocktail to celebrate this “special occasion” of having lunch with friends 🙂
Visited my good friend Julie at her fabulous backyard tonight. Great conversation, delicious food & wine… I almost forgot about epidemic… Came home past 11:30pm!
Oh how I missed worshiping the Lord with my family…though we were far apart and couldn’t see their faces, it was still good. It’s our first time being back at church since March!
What an awesome night catching up with friends! After dinner, I sent my family home and three of us sat out until 11pm chatting, enjoying the beautiful summer night. So Fun!
My Growth group families sent us dinner for the whole family today. I have been refusing friend’s food offers but I’m seeing that my mom has been getting too tired from single-handedly managing everyone’s meals for the last three weeks! Even with ordering food from restaurants from time to time, it was getting too much. And with my recent ordeal, I don’t know how much the recovery will take. So I said yes to my friends who wanted to give my mom some break! Wow, they sent so much food, we’ll be eating Italians for the next two night for sure! Thank you Ko’s and Chung’s family for the delicious meals!
I’m hearing a lot of I TOLD YOU SOs today… So maybe the haircut and the picnic were not such good ideas after all. Or maybe it’s one of those things that happens randomly… Who knows. After much excruciating pain for the last two days, my doctor ordered another CAT scan and blood work to find the culprit of the pain. Turns out there’s been a fluid build up where my appendix was. Fun! So I lost all my rights (especially to my mom) to do anything else besides lying down and resting. I’m staying in bed and obeying. Thanks to my friends who stopped by and dropped off flowers to brighten my day! Means so much, Michelle and Amy K!!!
My friend took the kids all day for a playdate at their house so I can rest… Thank you Anna for taking the kids all day and giving them a wonderful day!
I had an emergency appendectomy surgery and I’m home today after spending a couple days in a hospital. That was wild. I’m thankful it wasn’t anything serious and God delivered great hands to treat and heal me. So thankful for all the nurses, and doctors who took such good care of me with such kindness and for my friends who reached out, prayed, sent me food as soon as I got home and got groceries for the whole family! Feeling overwhelmed with a grateful heart… Thank you Kayla and Anna for the dinner and groceries!!
Wife, Mother, jewelry designer & graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
