We've been living together now for just over a month and it's been just amazing. We've both partnered-up before - me for 10 years, him for 7... so my thinking coming in was that we'd need time apart... "me" time, as it were - but honestly? We were laying together on the couch yesterday bemoaning the fact that the weekend was already nearly over and why, WHY couldn't we just have another day.
In this month several things have happened: he's gained 2 girls to parent (who absolutely love him), we've started putting a sincere effort into adding to our family and we got a pupppyyyyyyy!
... his name is Bear and he's AWESOME!The girls have adapted SO well to the new house, the new school, the new puppy... and not least to the MUCH shorter commute to the ferry each weekend.
We still have much work to do towards unpacking and fixing up the house so that it's precisely what we need (the girls need new bedrooms downstairs so that we can have our planned office and nursery upstairs), but hey - it's pretty great. I'm very much looking forward to all of this because when it's done, it means we can fill up the hot tub and have a good, long soak.
Teehee.
