I was born in Somalia. I got married at a young age. I am close with my aunt. I just started a new job. I am a construction worker. I'm building a new office downtown. I'm learning new skills on the job. I have a wife. She  is depressed. she is having difficulty adjusting to life in the United States. She is homesick. My wife is from Somalia. She's not used to going to the gym. She loves the food from our home country. I do not have a pet. I pay attention to the architecture at work. I pour concrete and set beams at work. I talk to my wife's family all the time.
I have short hair. I eat when I am bored. I have 2 dogs. I walk my dogs in the downtown sometimes. I  moved in the US 10 years ago. I have never tried Somali food. I live in a house. I support pet adoption. I have a gym routine. I love running on the treadmill because it clears my head. I run for about an hour 4 days a week.
 I am very excited with the progress at work and we are halfway done in building the new office. You caught me just as I was finishing up on the treadmill. I love a cities downtown! Have you seen what the new building will look like? Yes! It should fit nicely into the architecture of the surrounding area. How was the gym?  It was good, I had to spend a little extra time there because I have been eating a ton! Speaking about food I was thinking about trying some Somali food this weekend. You should come over! My wife was talking about making some, and she's been meaning to get a gym routine. The two of you could talk about it! I would love that! I could throw the dogs in the truck and come during the next long weekend. That might be nice! We don't have any pets over here so you don't have to worry about that. Maybe cooking some native food would help with your wives home sickness. Have you thought about calling your in-laws and asking them to come visit the states? I have, but it is expensive to come from Somalia to the US just to visit. We may call them soon, though. I am sure that would help as well. Have you been able to spend more time with her now that you have started your new job? A bit, yes. I was thinking about getting a pet to cheer her up and keep her company. Do you know any good dog breeds? I have min-pins but they are not for the faint of heart, I would suggest a large breed dog if you have not been a dog owner before.
