*BRB, doing Oregon things*
A perfect, PNW misty-breezy, summer day picking berries ๐งบ with friends at Hoffman Farms. I have never tasted strawberries ๐ so sweet in my life and will never buy them from a store again!
Luca is obsessed with blueberries so needless to say, his tummy was satisfied! ๐ซ
It’s crazy how you get to experience “Oregon life” just minutes outside the city. One moment you’re in Portland, the next, you’re in vast, rural farmland. There’s always so much to do, we wanted to make up, this summer, for the last 2 years of staying cooped up (because of this thing called Covid) and take advantage of all the fun stuff this underrated state has to offer. Luca’s soaking it all in and, dad, of course, called it from the very beginning (trust me, it was hard to drag this Michigander away from where she grew up!).
I’ve lived in Oregon now for close to 4 years, and though initially I wasn’t so sure, I know I’m never leaving ๐๏ธ.
For our out-of-state friends who still need convincing to come visit us *ahem ahem*, I’m a walking billboard for this place so get over here already!

Our little bundle of joy, Luca Shaan Langella, made his perfect entrance into the world on May 27th, 2021! Mommy and Daddy are doing great and are so madly in love with our sweet little bean burrito ๐ถ๐ป Can’t get enough of his little gurgles, cuddles and animated facial expressions ๐ฅฐ! He is a happy, healthy boy and looks just like his dad, but with mom’s nose and hair ๐ค. Luca bear, you’ve filled our lives with indescribable joy (and sleepless nights for now ๐ ), and you truly are the “giver of light”! Wish we could keep you this little forever!
Had the most amazing care throughout my whole pregnancy, and the best Labor & Delivery and Postpartum nurses at @providenceoregon who looked after me so well during my hospital stay.
I could not have had as calm and pleasant experience without @joe.langella, who is the best daddy already and gave me so much strength and encouragement through my pregnancy and is continuing to love and pamper me to no end (and making sure mommy gets the best nutrition!)
Great to have my mom here with me just in time for my delivery and allowing us to catch up on sleep while Luca gets precious Nini time ๐ Can’t wait for the rest of the family and friends to meet the little man!!

BABY LANGELLA COMING THIS JUNE! ๐คฐ๐ป๐ฅฐ
Our hearts are so full of happiness and gratitude ๐บ. We can’t wait to meet our little bundle of joy! ๐ถ๐ป๐
To the love of my life and incredible father to our sweet little boy,
The bond that we’ve cultivated over the past few years has grown in ways I could have never imagined.
There is nothing better than sharing your life with your best friend. I thank the universe everyday for the beautiful life we get to share together. Thank you for being the most wonderful person to me and loving me unconditionally, even at times when I don’t feel lovable, for putting up with my annoying ways, and for always letting me be basic and take pictures of our food before we eat ๐.
Happy 3rd anniversary, babe. ๐

There is nothing better than sharing your life with your best friend. I thank the universe everyday for the beautiful life we get to share together. Thank you for being the most wonderful person to me and loving me unconditionally, even at times when I don’t feel lovable, for putting up with my annoying ways, and for always letting me be basic and take pictures of our food before we eat ๐.
Happy 3rd anniversary, babe. ๐

Ringing in ๐3๏ธโฃ5๏ธโฃ๐ with a newfound sense of optimism, calm and gratitude, (thanks to everything 2020 threw at us!). It’s truly a milestone birthday as a mama-to-be, and the last one spent with just me and hubs! Joe made it spectacularly special for me- the one day a year I resisted being a control freak ๐- and did not disappoint! Thank you to everyone who wished me and spoiled me with pampering gifts from all corners of the country! ๐
As I officially enter my third trimester, I’m definitely feeling the dramatic shift in hormones (goodbye 2nd trimester energy), so am listening to my body and trying not to push myself…..although I am in FULL fledged nesting mode and trying to get the home ready for baby and visits from family this summer! So much to get done yet.
A few more months till Baby Langella gets here…and I can finally eat all the things that were off-limits for 9 months!!!! ๐๐ด๐ฃ๐ง๐ธ

Shubho Bijoya and a very happy and prosperous Dussehra to everyone celebrating! Even though I’m on the other side of the country from where I grew up celebrating Durga Puja (pujo for short, in Bengali), I’m blessed to be able to enjoy this special occasion with my husband and son and build new traditions and memories.
Hope this auspicious season lights up our lives with positive energy, hope for healthier, happier times and brings us eternal peace, prosperity, strength and joy! ๐ชโจ

Remembering our beautiful, waterfront Indian ceremony that took place on this day, last year, and how special it was for our families to come together as Joe and I completed our Hindu Bengali rituals together (Joe is a master at reciting mantras, nbd). We were lucky to have been able to honor both our cultures and traditions and to have Joeโs family embrace, and enthusiastically participate in every nuanced element of our celebrations with open arms. โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
From the โgaye holudโ (haldi/turmeric ceremony), to the โayeburobhaatโ (bride-to-beโs final luncheon with her favorite dishes), โtottoโ (or tatwa, groom welcomes the bride to their family) and โbor boronโ (brideโs mother and female friends welcome the groom), each distinctive event bonded us closer, for life.๐โพ๏ธโฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
I canโt even put into words how utterly grateful I am, and always will be, to my parents for giving their only daughter a wedding that dreams are made of. To have our extended family and friends from all over celebrate our union over the three-day wedding events was indescribable, and on our anniversary, revisiting over 3000 photos brings us back to the fun, laughter, tears of joy (and yes, of course a little bit of chaosโฆitโs a fusion wedding!). ๐ฅณโฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
We are blessed beyond words, for having each other and for having our families love and support us till the very end. We love you Ma, Baba, Deb and Steve!๐ฅฐโฃโฃ

Covid+election year=๐คฏ
I’ve been more vocal this year than years past, and am choosing to use use my platform to highlight the issues that resonate with me, personally, and advocate for equality in the truest sense. As an agnostic Indian-American, immigrant woman, married to an agnostic, Caucasian American and US Army veteran, I get asked a lot of questions and judgement/assumptions thrown at me on a DAILY basis.
The reason my relationship with Joe has worked so far, and why we chose to spend the rest of our lives together has nothing to do with race, faith or background. Our compatibility has everything to do with the fundamental values we share, which means fighting to unite, not divide. It means standing up for those who are underserved, underprivileged and need support through allyship, by advocating for systemic change, helping educate others learn the difference between covert and overt racism, and eliminating our own implicit biases from within. It means not having blind allegiance to any political party or person. It means standing by integrity, honesty and truth. These are the values that were instilled in me by my family, that we hope to pass on to our children.
When you don’t open your mind up to people or experiences outside your bubble, or think that the lifestyle, religion, or values you and your ecosystem follow are the only “right” ways, you block yourself from growing and empathizing with others who are different from you. By not acknowledging your privilege or deflecting the conversation to focus on your struggles, you are gaslighting others by questioning their reality, and the struggle they’ve faced for many years, and continue to in the form of covert and overt racism. All it takes, is putting aside your defense, and instead, listening and learning.
So remember that when someone else shares something seemingly hostile on social media, it might be coming from a place of personal pain, trauma or deep frustration for those who are marginalized. Open your eyes and listen to understand. I would much rather FEEL, profoundly, than bury my head in the sand.
It’s been a hard 2020, but we’ll get through this together. ๐ค
Been lovin this man for 4.5 yrs, married for 1.5 and engaged on this day, 2 years ago. It was the love I never saw coming. He walked into my life like he had always belonged there. And now I can’t imagine not waking up next to this guy or living a day without him. Happy Engagement Anniversary, Joe โค๏ธ
The proposal was absolutely perfect. Joe tricked me into thinking we were going to go see a house for sale, but instead drove us straight past the house, up to the most picturesque spot in all of Portland, Council Crest. From the top of the hill, one can see five mountains in the Cascade Range: Mt Hood, Mt St Helens, Mt Adams, Mt Jefferson, and Mt Rainier, in addition to fantastic 180-degree views of the city and surrounding towns.
It was a remarkably clear day (rare for the Pacific Northwest), not a cloud in the sky, but a little chilly. I was shivering so Joe gave me a giant bear hug and dropped to one knee with a beautiful ring he picked out, asking me to marry him! I giggled, cried, continued shivering and said YES! while onlookers watched and clapped, and our dear friend Kim, disguised behind a bush, captured the moments perfectly on camera. We celebrated that evening with our closest PDX buddies over a celebratory dinner at our favorite restaurant. We couldn’t wait to get married within the year!
Our proposal story was unique, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. ๐โค๏ธ. Will always look back on these pictures with butterflies in my stomach like it happened yesterday.

I was shivering so Joe gave me a giant bear hug and dropped to one knee with a beautiful ring he picked out, asking me to marry him! I giggled, cried, continued shivering and said YES! while onlookers watched and clapped, and our dear friend Kim, disguised behind a bush, captured the moments perfectly on camera. We celebrated that evening with our closest PDX buddies over a celebratory dinner at our favorite restaurant. We couldn’t wait to get married within the year!
Our proposal story was unique, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. ๐โค๏ธ. Will always look back on these pictures with butterflies in my stomach like it happened yesterday.

Been lovin this man for 4.5 yrs, married for 1.5 and engaged on this day, 2 years ago. It was the love I never saw coming. He walked into my life like he had always belonged there. And now I can’t imagine not waking up next to this guy or living a day without him. Happy Engagement Anniversary, Joe โค๏ธ
The proposal was absolutely perfect. Joe tricked me into thinking we were going to go see a house for sale, but instead drove us straight past the house, up to the most picturesque spot in all of Portland, Council Crest.

Happiest birthday to the best husband and daddy ever @joe.langella! Hope our little guy turns out to be just like his dad (so far, he is in so many ways!). Thank you for your complete selflessness when it comes to your family! You mean the world to us and we love you so much! ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฝโโค๏ธโ๐จ๐ผ๐จโ๐ฆ๐ฅณ
