 <p style="margin: 0 0 16px 0; line-height: 26px;">Our first son Huslen was born late 2022, and our second, Sanchir, came along in January 2024. Life&#39;s been full ever since.</p>
 <p style="margin: 0 0 16px 0; line-height: 26px;">Lately I&#39;ve been making a conscious effort to be more present — as a husband and as a father — while the boys are still young. These years go fast. We&#39;ve been hanging out with our neighbors more, just enjoying the everyday stuff. Nothing fancy, and honestly that&#39;s the best part.</p>

I put weight lifting aside and joined Suvdaa on pilates. Let me tell you — pilates is the stupidest looking small movements that somehow have your tendons pulling in ways you didn&#39;t know possible. Total ego killer. The burn is real.</p>
 <p style="margin: 0 0 16px 0; line-height: 26px;">I gave up running years ago. Bad knees, can&#39;t even do a mile or two anymore without paying for it. So the goal now is to fix my back before the 40s hit. Light weights, yoga, and pilates. That&#39;s the plan.</p>

Still worth it, but the logistics are no joke.</p>
