Steady Weeks and Growing Excitement

A productive stretch at work, eleven years of marriage to reflect on, and the anticipation building as Jasper’s birthday and Sikh New Year approach. 🎉

It was a productive week in the office, even if nothing particularly dramatic stood out. The kind of week where you move things forward, check off the important items, and keep the momentum going. Sometimes those steady weeks are the ones that quietly matter the most.

Jasper had a great week at school. His energy and curiosity seem to grow by the day, and right now everything feels like an adventure for him. With his birthday party just days away, the excitement is building for our fast and curious little guy. This year, just like before, his birthday lines up with Sikh New Year — which makes the celebration feel even more meaningful.

This past week also marked a very special milestone for me personally: eleven years since I married my partner in India. It’s amazing how quickly time moves. Looking back at that moment and seeing where life has taken us since — a home, a son, two cultures woven together — it’s something I’m deeply grateful for.

The time change over the weekend definitely made things a little rough. Losing that hour always hits harder than expected, especially with a toddler who doesn’t believe in adjusting his internal clock. Still, we managed to keep the rhythm of the weekend moving.

Link got his haircut and is looking sharp again — always a small but satisfying reset around the house.

And as we often try to do, we made it to temple on Sunday. It’s a grounding way to close out the week and start the next one with a little perspective.

Now all eyes turn toward Jasper’s big birthday celebration. Hard to believe another year has already come around. 🎂
