Food Stamps Saved Us

In this episode, we dive into an extraordinary dining experience at The RitzCarlton Half Moon Bay Resort that took us on a journey down memory lane. But before we delve into that, let's take a moment to reflect on where we've been and how we got here.

From a difficult past where we once relied on food stamps and welfare, we've built a life that now allows us to enjoy luxury and create magical memories. Today, we'll share our journey from struggling to provide for our family to finding success and happiness. But even now, as we sit down for one of the most expensive dinners we've ever paid for, we want to remind you that our journey is not one of privilege but of hard work, determination, and the willingness to overcome challenges.

Join us as we recount the road we traveled to arrive at this extraordinary dining experience. From the moment we arrived at a breathtaking location in Half Moon Bay to witnessing a fairytale proposal, every detail reminded us of how far we've come. We'll share the enchanting atmosphere, mouthwatering dishes, and price tag that shocked us (mostly Daniel). But more importantly, we'll reflect on the emotional significance of this meal and the lessons we've learned along the way.

So buckle up and get ready for a captivating episode filled with stories of resilience, sacrifices, and the belief that no matter where you come from, you have the power to create a better future. Because, as we've experienced firsthand, sometimes the most remarkable journeys begin from the humblest of beginnings. So let's dive into this unforgettable dining experience and the powerful lessons it revealed.  Seong's Say: Overcoming Hard Times: "God will never give you more than you can handle." — Christina Seong  "Feeling Magical at the Ritz Carlton: This resort truly, truly makes me feel that way."— Daniel Seong The Strength of Commitment: "One of the best things about us is we stay committed to each other. Like, you never made me feel bad about not providing. You never complain, never yelled at me, never made me just feel like as if I wasn't a man, you know, but we stayed up together."— Daniel Seong The Importance of Struggle: "Know that it will get better... It's your price of admission... There's a barrier, and that barrier is called work commitment, discipline, consistency, belief, because you and I could have quit at any given point...
