Mr. and Mrs. Drerio's Journey

At the request of SimplyAmorous, I will start a journal that chronicles things that we (my lovely bride and myself) find helps us in working towards a longterm successful marriage. Let me first say that "successful" does not mean perfect. I don't think perfect could ever describe a healthy marriage. We are talking about two individuals that bring all their faults and idiosyncratic ways into a relationship. Add children and you often get complications that can either sever or build upon what is already there. Married December 24, 1994 at the time I was 34 and my wife was 32. So, yes I am Santa Claus married to Mrs. Claus ;). First marriage for both of us. At the time we were married I was finishing up graduate school and my wife had just started into graduate school. We waited five years to have our first child, a son... he is now 13 and soon to be 14. He was diagnosed with Autism at age 3.5 Two years later we had a second child, another son... he is 11 and soon to be 12. He is very energetic and often operates on two speeds, "go" and "sleep". We both work full time, juggle finances with owning a home along with living in a very expensive part of the world. More to come. I hope you will join us. Next up, I will chronicle some of the early years then move toward recent and finally what is currently going on in our lives. Don't expect me to write something everyday... real life is rarely that exciting :D
