I’ll start with a little bit about me. I am a recently married stepmom of 3 awesome kids (ages 11, 13, and 16). This was never on my bingo card. Up until I met my now husband, I would’ve sworn up and down that getting married was not for me. Fortunately, the universe had other plans. This funny, sweet, comic book loving man walked into my life. We started out as friends, and the more time we spent together, the chemistry was undeniable.
One of the most attractive things about him was his incredible passion for being a father. That being said, the thought of meeting the kids was pretty terrifying at first. Would they like me? Would I like them? Would they dislike me simply because I wasn’t their mom and they were loyal to her? My thoughts went overboard before we finally met. No matter what, I knew who I was and that I absolutely loved their dad.
Life with them has been more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. It hasn’t always been unicorns farting rainbows (we’ll get to that later), but getting to know them has subsequently taught me a whole lot about myself. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
