Two decades.
20 years.
7,305 daysโ€ฆ together. ๐Ÿ’ซ

17 years old when it all beganโ€ฆ and 20 years later, here we are. ๐Ÿ’– Iโ€™ve spent more of my life with you than without you @frostxd 

๐ŸŒ 32 countries explored, 2 amazing kiddos๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿป , and our very first โ€œbabyโ€ pup who taught us how to be a family. ๐Ÿถโœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ

From undergrad in two different states ๐ŸŽ“ to you powering through medical school and residency ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€โš•๏ธ, to diaper duty and sleep regressions ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿป Weโ€™ve grown, stumbled, laughed, and learned. And through it all, weโ€™ve kept choosing each other. ๐Ÿ’— 

I hope our kids grow up seeing a love thatโ€™s not perfect, but real filled with jokes, mutual- respect, late-night talks and movie watching, parenting teamwork, and the occasional โ€œsorry I was hangryโ€ apology. ๐Ÿ˜… The kind of love that changes over time but changes together ๐Ÿ’ž through the years, the chaos, and the joy.

Hereโ€™s to 20 years of choosing each other and to the next chapter. ๐Ÿฅ‚ Happy Dating Anniversary @frostxd ! Glad I finally said YES after you asked me out 3x ๐Ÿ˜˜ #thirdtimesacharm #highschoolsweethearts taken in New York, New York by @sherrychen212

๐Ÿ’™ Happy 3rd birthday to our big boba ๐Ÿง‹-eyed boy, Caiden/our Kai Kai!

Another year somehow came faster than the last. The baby who once needed me for everything is becoming such a funny, smart, independent little boy. ๐Ÿฅน Youโ€™re talkative, silly, stubborn when you have a vision ๐Ÿ˜…, full of Hulk hugs ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป, and have the biggest heart, always the first to check on someone if theyโ€™re hurt.

In the last 365 days, youโ€™veโ€ฆ โœจ

#ไธŠๆตท #ๅค–ๆปฉ

Baby #3 is on the way! And the even BIGGER surpriseโ€ฆ

ITโ€™S A GIRL! ๐ŸŽ€๐Ÿ’— 

After two boys, we definitely did not see this plot twist coming. ๐Ÿ˜‚ They say good things come in threesโ€ฆ so here we go again!

Party of 5โ€ฆ coming January 2027. โœจ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ #capricorn #้ฉฌๅฎๅฎ #partyof5

We didnโ€™t tell the boys until last month, when I was already 4 months pregnant. ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿค Theyโ€™d been asking for another sibling for a while especially Grayson so we told them they had to make a wish. โœจ

Surprise #1: Mommyโ€™s pregnant.

Surprise #2: ITโ€™S A GIRL! ๐ŸŽ€๐Ÿ’—

Safe to say their wish came true. ๐Ÿฅนโœจ

Double the backpacks, double the big feelingsโ€ฆ first grade + Pre-K 3, here we go! ๐ŸŽ’๐ŸŽ๐Ÿฅน

And somehowโ€ฆ NO TEARS. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜‚

Caiden was a little unsure at first, but once we dropped Gray off and he realized big brother was right there in the same building, he was good to go. ๐Ÿฅนโค๏ธ

And just like thatโ€ฆ Full days, new routines, and a whole lot of growing up happening over here. ๐Ÿ“šโœจ taken in Manhattan, New York by @sherrychen212

POV: โ€œYouโ€™re putting them in school during summer in China ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ?!โ€ ๐Ÿคฏ Yesโ€ฆ because school here looks like THIS. ๐ŸŽ‰ 

And somehow their school lunch looks better than mine ๐Ÿ˜‚ Gray had fresh shrimp for lunch! ๐Ÿค 

We were honestly so nervous about Kai, at 2.5 years old, going full-time this summer from 8:30โ€“4:00. But having his big brother there with him made all the difference from day one. ๐Ÿ’™

No gentle separation. No early pickup. He even took a TWO-HOUR nap at school. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

So proud of our little 2.5-year-old and of Gray for being the sweetest built-in support system. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’™

Summer weekends in China just hit different. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ

๐Ÿ“ Guilin, China

Without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking places weโ€™ve ever visited. Towering karst peaks, peaceful rivers, and landscapes so surreal itโ€™s easy to see why many believe it inspired the floating mountains in Avatar. ๐Ÿž๏ธโœจ

Feeling incredibly grateful to explore this beautiful country with my little travel buddies. These are the moments Iโ€™ll cherish forever, watching my boys discover the world, one adventure at a time. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’ด Fun fact: One of the most iconic views along the Li River near Guilin is featured on the back of Chinaโ€™s 20 RMB banknote!๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿž๏ธโœจ

๐Ÿ›ถ Drifting down the breathtaking Yulong River (้‡้พ™ๆฒณ) on a traditional bamboo raft in Yangshuo.

๐Ÿž๏ธ The karst mountains lining the Yulong River have inspired Chinese poets and painters for centuries and are considered some of the most iconic landscapes in all of China. ๐ŸŽจโ›ฐ๏ธโœจ

When in Yangshuoโ€ฆ you have to try Bamboo Chicken (็ซน็ญ’้ธก)! ๐ŸŽ‹๐Ÿ”

Cooked inside fresh bamboo for an incredibly juicy, fragrant flavor. Somehow it tastes even better when Gray caught the chicken himself. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‚

โœจ Wearing traditional Chinese outfits and stepping back in time.

A little piece of Chinaโ€™s rich ethnic heritage wearing traditional Miao clothing, where every silver detail and embroidered pattern tells a story passed down through generations. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ

๐Ÿชจ Exploring Moon Water Cave (ๆœˆไบฎๆฐดๅฒฉ) near Moon Hill

Helmet ๐Ÿช– and headlamp๐Ÿ’กon, we hiked through underground rivers, climbed over limestone rocks, and squeezed through caves.

Equal parts adventure and terrifying! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜ฑโœจ

On top of the world ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

Huipai (ๅพฝๆดพ) architecture is famous for its white walls, black-tiled roofs, and iconic horse-head walls (้ฉฌๅคดๅข™), designed to prevent fires while creating one of Chinaโ€™s most recognizable architectural styles. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณโœจ

๐ŸŽจ Slowing down to paint and decorate our own traditional Chinese fans, a perfect keepsake from an incredible weekend.

9 years down, forever to go. โ™พ๏ธโค๏ธ

In Chinese, 9 (ไน) symbolizes forever (ไน… jiuฬŒ), so naturally we celebrated by watching Death Becomes Her the musical ๐ŸŽญโœจ๐Ÿ’€

Turns out eternal youth is overrated. Iโ€™ll take the wrinkles, gray hairs, and chaos of growing old together any day. ๐Ÿคโœจ

The future of Deer Valley East Village is looking bright. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽฟ

Our Extell EB-5 team recently returned to Park City, Utah, and itโ€™s incredible to see how quickly this vision is becoming reality. ๐Ÿ”๏ธโœจ

In March 2024, we toured the Grand Hyatt construction site in hard hats ๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™€๏ธ. By 2025, we were enjoying hot cocoa in the completed lobby โ˜•๏ธ. And in 2026, we were riding the gondola and watching the village come alive. ๐Ÿš โ„๏ธ

With the Skier Services Center ๐ŸŽฟ, Canopy by Hilton ๐Ÿจ, and Four Seasons Hotel & Residences ๐Ÿ”๏ธ๐Ÿ’ซ all taking shape, itโ€™s incredible to witness and be part of it all coming together ๐ŸŽ‰

Mommyhood: chaotic, but mostly FUN! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฆ™๐Ÿคช

Iโ€™ve always loved animals, so walking with alpacas (Heather Belle, Iona, and Blue) was the perfect way to celebrate with my boys, my husband, and my beautiful mama. ๐Ÿฆ™๐Ÿ’•

Thank you, Gray and Kai, for choosing me to be your mommy (ๅฆˆๅ’ช) and for filling my days with laughter and adventure.

Hope all the amazing mothers out there feel loved every day and a little extra celebrated on #mothersday ๐Ÿ’โœจ#alpacas taken in Bluebird Farm Alpacas by @sherrychen212

๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿค April 1, 2026 R.I.P Mei Mei ๅฆนๅฆนChen

Our hearts are shattered. The tears just keep coming, and I donโ€™t know if theyโ€™ll ever truly stop when I think of my baby. #onedayatatime 

For 15+ years, we had the privilege of loving our sweet, sassy, beautiful Mei Mei. She was our very first family dog and my very first baby. She was there through so many chapters of our lives. Through moves, milestones, growing up, and growing our familyโ€ฆ she was always there.

Mei Mei may have been tiny, but she had the biggest personality and a presence that filled every room. She was feisty, loving, and loyal. Life will never feel quite the same without her.

It was one of the hardest goodbyes Iโ€™ve ever had to say. And while our hearts ache so deeply right now, we know how lucky we were to have loved her for so long. 

Thank you for every cuddle, every bark, every memory, and every unconditional ounce of love.

You will always be part of our family.

Always loved. Always missed. Never forgotten.

Run free, our sweet Mei Mei. We love you forever. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’” taken in New York, New York by @sherrychen212
