Kaka, our Bali dog🐶.. real name,Kacang (not pronounced how you think it is) means "peanut" in Bahasa Indonesia.

Kaka LOVES❤️ to dig in the sand but she absolutely is terrified of the ocean 🌊 (working on that). So, it's always an adventure when we go to the beach🏖.

What are some of the things your furbabies love and hate doing?

A mini scrapbook for July: it's been a big and hot and windy summer so far 😜 but that's pretty typical, now that it's our second summer here we know what to expect.

Recap: we've gone into Lisbon more times in this month than the rest of the year combined, hosted more friends, revisited a favorite hike in Sintra and found more delicious eats in our neighborhood.

Stay tuned for more hot news 😆

To celebrate our 3 years of marriage - we’ve come up with our top 3 tips on how to grow a strong relationship:

It’s not the fighting that breaks most relationships, it’s what gets left unsaid. Every little thing becomes an opportunity for us to live our lives together. And it doesn’t matter how long your relationship has lasted, the truth is: learning how to communicate never ends.
Romnce is a feeling and those are just temporary. Which is why the longer the relationship, the harder it is to maintain romance! But all it really takes is showing a little extra effort, which demonstrates that we believe they, and our relationship, are worth the “trouble”.

Romance is a feeling and those are just temporary. Which is why the longer the relationship, the harder it is to maintain romance! But all it really takes is showing a little extra effort, which demonstrates that we believe they, and our relationship, are worth the “trouble”.

People will change. Committing to a relationship is not just about who you guys are now, but about believing in who you guys will become - together. And that’s what being a partner is: making and protecting the room to grow and promising to be there to witness it.

So getting married isn’t an ending, it’s a new beginning.

Because food is life, we celebrated our official one year of living in Portugal by going all out with dim sum, gelato, and pasteis de nata. It's hard to believe that so much time has already passed, because it feels like we've barely begun to explore Portugal. We're excited for all that's to come and really getting to know our new home. Stick around for the adventures 😘

Where should we explore next in Portugal?

Carl has a secret. He loves making coffee but he doesn’t love coffee. Lucky for him, he has me 😂. So together, we are embarking on a new coffee journey, tasting locally roasted coffee!

This week we have the Costa Rica, La Pachuca, Roberto Mata Espresso from Lisbon based

What should we try next?

Discovering new and delicious foods is what makes our date nights special 🥂!

Finding .ararate - an Armenian restaurant in town - completely won us over with its rich flavors and warm atmosphere. Have to come back for more of that Hin Areni and some honey cake!! Who’s got a favorite date night spot and what's your order?

I never would have imagined, back in 2017 when I first attempted to learn Portuguese on Duolingo in preparation for our trip to Brazil, that I should have studied harder and retained the knowledge 😂😂😂

Now we are falling in love with the Portuguese sounds and people all over again (and trying to remember whether it's "sumo" or "suco"). The reality is: it doesn't matter because we're finding a new and warm family with both the Portugal and the Brazilian Portuguese here 🥰

You really never know where life will take you and how the pieces will end up fitting together, but I count us blessed and always know it will work out the best.

We always enjoy the last bits of sunlight during these short winter days. Kaka loves sunbathing, but there's less opportunity for that now. It's dark and cold when we wake up, and it's dark and cold when we finish working... TBH if we didn't have her, we might never go outside during winter 😅😂

What gets you out during winter?

“You can plan a pretty picnic but you can’t predict the weather”.

Before moving to Portugal, we would go hiking regularly with my parents, so we were excited to show them Sintra during their visit. Alas, most of their time in Portugal had rain in the forecast. We decided to risk it on one of the less rainy days and ended up with a rather magically foggy and drizzly day in Cabo da Roca.

They didn’t get the stunning cliffside views and the trail got too slippery to finish, but we ended up enjoying lunch at a spot we would never have gone to otherwise - and I still got to show them the “best cappuccino in Portugal”.

So much in life goes unplanned, but in retrospect it’s always worked out better than we could have planned.

These are the signs of a “matured” relationship:

You don’t have to talk during a meal out: it’s easy to mistaken silence for running out of things to share, but body language and the unspoken take up more of the communication patterns of a relationship that has had time to learn these cues.

You’ve stopped taking photos of yourselves: what was discovery becomes a history that you can trust and rely on. The proof you needed before has simply become evidence between the lines.

Mornings become more romantic than evenings: How you start your days together - or not - can reveal the most about a relationship. If nights are typically associated with passion and impressiveness, then mornings would be more about consideration and honesty.

*use of the word “matured” as something that has seen the test of time.
