Our 5 year wedding anniversary
5 years married and 12 years together. My God it's been a roller coaster!
Times are changing. We're changing them. We move around and change our environment quite often that we need to give ourselves to time adapt.
Our relationship is stable. The thing that's bothering is that we need to spend more time with each other. Running the business and caring for Aidan takes over our lives lately. We've adapted pretty well to living here in India.
There was a crash course when Farrah's parents headed to the US to visit family. We had to create a schedule that worked for us. It worked for us but didn't leave time for US.
- My time at the gym from 7:30a - 9a
- Change and feed Aidan
- shower
- let the maid in to clean
- I start work or do some chores before starting work
- Farrah's with baby all day
- maid asks how to make the food
- i may or may not eat lunch
- Put Aidan down for a nap
- Farrah tries to nap or tackles a couple of priority items for the day
- Aidan wakes up Farrah keeps him company and does more items
- 7pm dinner start winding Aidan down
- 7:30 bathe Aidan
- 8:30 put Aidan down to sleep
- Farrah bottles next day's milk
- 10 or so we're beat and have to get up early to repeat
So I'm basically working the whole day and into the night. Not healthy for us. We did have a talk recently that was about planning time more for us. We do go to movies (with Aidan) and swim in the summer but its not enough. We don't have enough FUN in our lives. I've got to start spicing it up a bit. I need to take the initiative to look up things here other than just letting the days pass.
I love my wife. When she's not fully happy with me or the time she spends with me, then it's my duty to change the status quo. I've committed myself to her and this relationship. I've laid my cards on the table, I'm "All in".

Re: 5 years and counting
I LOVE that the quote "I"m ALL in" and that is what it will take.
Y'all can do it together.
LOVE Y'ALL FOREVER!!!!
