I met a woman on a social networking site in late January 2011, and began talking to her. She asked me out on a date, and I accepted. We met face to face for the first time on February 3rd. She treated me to dinner and delightful company. I was pretty smitten with her from the get-go :) We had a few more dates, and before I knew it, I was completely swept off my feet. For Valentine's Day, she gifted me with flowers and chocolate-covered strawberries. Good Girl!!
Before I knew it, I had totally fallen in love with her, and she with me. She moved in with me when her then-current living situation was turned upside down. It was soon and sudden, but it all worked out. We've been together ever since and life is sweeter every day. She is so kind to me, so loving, and so generous. I have found my inner peace with her. I feel like I am "home".
Ironically, we have moved twice in the very short time since she has been living with me. LOL. We're in a great house now that includes her 17-year-old son and 23-year-old daughter. It's a hectic household, and far different than what I'm used to, but I find that I love it more and more every day. I have my little family now. And even though it's not quite how I imagined I would procure it, it is my family nonetheless.
Other than the usual financial struggles (my girlfriend was laid off a few months ago & hasn't been able to find work), life is good. :)
