FIU Homecoming and Parent and Family Weekend 2023! It’s hard to believe that this is our younger son Kevin’s last semester at FIU!! We have no words to thank our dear friend, FIU Madam Provost Dr. Elizabeth Bejar @elizabethbejarchammas, and FIU President Dr. Kenneth Jessel (so awesome to personally thank them again yesterday) for the unconditional support for Kevin. He was recruited into FIU’s Honors College with a love and vision for competitive Esports, particularly in managing and coaching teams. He will leave with the satisfaction of helping to form a thriving Esports Dept. with 2 Varsity teams! Yesterday, we celebrated FIU, and how far it has come in so many ways. Finally recognized as a top public university in the rankings for both undergrad and law. We are honored that Kevin is going on to FIU Law, and to support this great institution! Congratulations to all!

A successful Japan 2023 tirp in the books. Jimmy and Vivian feel so blessed to spend 2 weeks in Japan and that both of their sons could join them. While in Tokyo, Jimmy and Vivian visited the MIKIMOTO Pearls headquarters and flagship store. It is the world’s largest location in the heart of the sophisticated Ginza luxury shopping district of Tokyo. There, they met with the staff who presented the latest MIKIMOTO designs, which were absolute works of art! They also showcased breathtaking vintage collections. With the trademark Japanese attention to detail and craftsmanship, it’s no wonder these are some of the most desired pearls in the world. They also visited other pearl manufacturers in the area and left with plenty of inspiration and contacts.
