Blending my life

I thought maybe I should spend at least one post here getting back on topic. I’ve strayed so far lately that I’ve forgotten where I was. And I’m simply to lazy to go back and look…so forgive me if I leave something out.

So you know how we met and how things went when I met his family. That much I know for sure you’ve read.

That takes us to our first Christmas together. We were very lucky to spend that first Christmas alone. We had spent the evening before with Rolfs family. My kids were there and we all had a good time. Early the next morning my ex picked up the kids for the day to spend with him. As much as I missed the kids I was really looking forward to spending the entire day alone with my sweetie. (don’t tell him I called him that on here)

So after the kids were gone and we were finally alone, we decided to exchange gifts. I honestly can’t remember what I gave him that first Christmas. I’m so bad with stuff like that except when we exchange things that really mean a lot to us. I had very little money, so I know it wasn’t anything big. I just asked him. I gave him a stein, I’m not sure what else I gave him. He however went nuts and bought me a new watch, which I still wear just about every day And he gave me a gold necklace with a small stone in it. I wear it most days as well. When he put it around my neck he said “everytime you look at this I want you to remember how much I love you”

My heart nearly melted. What more could I want in a man? Then later this man that swore he would never ever get married again took something to the basement and when he came upstairs again he took me in his arms and looked deeply into my eyes and said ” I never thought I would feel this way again, I just want you to know that I want to grow old with you”

I was lost. That was it. I knew for sure without a doubt that we would get married “someday” I was in no real hurry, I didn’t want to push him, and besides, my divorce was not final yet by a long shot. So we spent some quality time together before the kids got home again. Well to my home. Rolf and I were not living together and because there were children involved we had decided to take things very slowly.

My world was complete in that moment. You ever have one of those perfect days? That was one for me.

Next time I’ll tell you how I thought our relationship was nearly destroyed by his ex wife. That should be exciting don’t you think?
