New and Exciting News

We’ve had so much going on in our lives and I have very exciting news to share – my boyfriend and I are moving in together! I was moving to the town where he lives and we just decided to buy a house together. He is so wonderful to Alex and I and I couldn’t have asked for a better man. I always said I would NEVER date a man with kids so when he approached me, I wasn’t interested. Through time, however, he and his kids have enriched our lives.
I struggle with getting married and perhaps its fear. I’ve been praying about it and have asked God to bless our relationship, even if we never have a marriage license. I’ve been down this marriage road not once, but twice and both times, we stood in front of God, our family and friends and made vows that were under false pretenses. I’m not opposed to marriage, but I’m certainly not in a hurry. Prior to moving in with my second husband, I told him that we needed to be married before I’d move in and we had a beautiful wedding, but he forgot to mention he was a gambling addict. I should have seen the signs, but didn’t want to. With Bruce, it’s different. I see how his is with his kids, with his money, with his faith, and with his friends and family and it overwhelms me sometimes.
So, here we go with another chapter in our lives. Alex will begin school at the private catholic school in the fall and Bruce and I will begin our life together. We toured both the public and the private school and the minute we walked into the catholic school, I just knew this was where Alex needs to be. The teachers were great, the curriculum was challenging but supported with a great deal of support, and the kids were wonderful. Alex came home with three notes and told Bruce “none of them are from dudes which my mom is going to think is weird”. We spied on the kids at recess and watched Alex play with the kids as though he’d grown up with them. When its right….it’s right and all of the questions I had a week ago have been resolved.
