From Single to a Family

*this was written this summer but I wasn't sure when the right time to blog about it would be* 

I'm ready :) 

Remember my Dear Future Husband post? I think God heard me. I met him. He's perfect. The end. 

You want the details? Oh ok. :-) I figured. 

Isn't it weird how you can know someone for awhile, be their friend or acquaintance, and then one day your eyes just met and you just know?? It's true. That's exactly what happened. I went out to dinner with him and some mutual friends for semi flirting with him that day. I don't know what had come over me, I just started getting nervous around him that day. At dinner (Mexican) we are having margaritas and somehow start talking about relationships and somehow everyone could tell we were both hinting comments about potential relationships that included each other. It was so random. I was suddenly nervous and easily embarrassed. Back home and a few drinks later, he gets me alone to give me a shirt and surprises me (and him) by kissing me. The world didn't stop. I didn't lose my mind in a fuzzy bubble. I was shocked and a little confused but everything seemed so crystal clear. Over the next few days/weeks we talked for hours getting to know each other and really throwing all our cards on the table. Including our "make it or break its" we both agreed there was no point to BS around if there was a big breaking factor. Luckily there wasn't. We were on the same level about everything important. 12 weeks later and I still feel like it is surreal. I'd tell myself I wasn't going to fall too quickly, but that boy fell for me in the first week :-) Our key has been to communicate about everything from day one. No matter how difficult or uncomfortable it was. That's why we don't argue. 

 Fathers Day weekend I got to meet his son for the first time. I didn't know my life could be more complete. After that weekend I knew without a doubt we aree supposed to be a family. His son is 10 and he is the brightest, sweetest kid I've ever met. He puts so many people before himself. He still has a few only child tendencies but of course so do I :-) right now he is staying with his dad for about 6 weeks. I watch him whenever his dad is at work. We play video games, build Legos, watch movies, go out to eat, etc. Bonding time. Right now we are watching the Karate Kid for the third time in 24 hours. So that's how I went from completely and utterly not looking to date for years to the perfect man and the most adorable future step son
