2 become 5

So two years ago today I had to urgently marry my husband and become a step mom.

I went from being a single mom of a preteen boy to a mom of 3! It was exciting, scary, and full of love.

I got to marry my 6th grade camp crush BUT the goal was our Catholic wedding.

Still, legal family bonds needed to be made. I feel like I’m still adjusting sometimes. We get used to routines and relationships then BOOM! We grow and have to adjust again.

But when I see my husband have his children as a real present force in their lives and in turn they also let me in in ways I didn’t imagine, it’s all worth it.

This day was not what we planned but it’s still a part of our story to the path of having our baby now. She’s the physical embodiment of our love and why I’m even writing this blog and proof of how far we’ve grown as a family.

Happy anniversary to my St Joseph. The man who rescued me from the lake of my lonely tears. My dear husband, I love you!
