I’m Officially Depressed Now

Posted on August 12, 2005 by Ching under Life.    

Never have I felt so tempted to resign my self-imposed shopping boycott as I have today. Walking into Epic Apparel and then leaving empty handed was so devastating that I almost threw a five-year-old temper tantrum.

Thanks to Brian’s resilience my self-imposed shopping boycott continues. My integrity has not been compromised — much to my disappointment, naturally. Today would’ve been a good excuse to relapse.

• Who We Are

  

  Brian and Ching met in 1999 and have been together ever since. Brian was born and raised in Wichita. He moved away to live in Memphis for a few years and then returned. It was after he returned to Wichita that he met Ching. Coming home was probably the best decision he's ever made, besides marrying Ching.

  Ching moved to the Wichita area in the mid-90s. She is an avid blogger, picture-taker, and pickleball player. She also loves chess and card games. She is quite prolific and has authored most of the posts on the site.

  Brian and Ching are inseparable and enjoy many activities together including traveling, dancing, bowling, chess, and poker. The only activities they don't share are video games (mostly Brian's thing) and Zumba (that's all Ching). They live in Wichita with their two adorable dogs, Molly (RIP) and Saki.

  This blog started in 2002 to document their life after marriage and has since evolved into a chronicle of their day to day adventures.
