So, after viewing a few friends’ blog pages of their recent trips, it leads me to wonder why Sichan and I hadn’t taken any trips lately? Are we just a boring couple? We used to do so many fun things like camping, but since we’ve gotten married we hadn’t really gone anywhere much. Looking back at our first year, it was hard on us financially since due to immigration, I was the only income for that time. It was hard on Sichan and I really admired him trying to find ways “legally” to find work. He was even doing a paper route around 3am each morning for a little bit until he was able to get a job. I don’t blame that on him since it’s totally wasn’t his fault.
Now, on our second year, with a dual income, with our crazy lives, it’s been hard to just spend a day together. I’m looking forward to his work schedule changing next month, so that he wouldn’t have to work on saturdays anymore so at least we’ll be able to take day trips even if we can’t take a weekend getaway. Sometimes, I feel like I need to get out of town to get a breather. Summer is half way over and all I can recall is having a few days of fun when we had both of our families came to visit from Northridge and Hong Kong, but those were just too short. Maybe life is like this when people get older. We need to make time to have fun or else it will just be our daily ruitals of working and going home to recope and do it all over the next day.
Don’t get me wrong! Sichan is a great husband and I’m very thankful that God allowed us to be a couple. I just think our circumstances right now and the situations that we’re in doesn’t allow us to be as “free flowing” as others are. Maybe we need to move to a city without friends and/or family to start a new life. That probably will never happen since I love my family and friends so much that I want to be close to them. See, I know that I’m the crazy one….
