I’m gonna try this… AT told me last week that he’d write again, but I had to write one first. I didn’t think he was serious, but I’m starting to believe he was. I’ve done a couple haikus, but that’s about all. You all don’t know me yet… I guess this is how it starts.

It’s neat. Being part of such a creature that is so much part of so many people’s lives. A little overwhelming, actually. I feel like I’ve stepped into some pretty big shoes…in all kinds of ways. But I’m always up for a challenge (comes with the red hair).

Ever gone somewhere and felt like you’ve been there before? You feel unconditional love, happiness, contentment..like you just fit there? Comfort? And it all seems so familiar, but you don’t know why. Maybe it’s from your childhood.. or teenage years… maybe, wait…ya just can’t analyze it. It’s just awesomeness all around (is that a word? well..it is today). It’s not a place I’ve ever been before. I am where I’ve always wanted to be. My heart is smiling.

Over the last five months, AT and I have talked about a lot of things. We’ve both been healing and “finding ourselves” over the past year. Now we are here. Together. OMG!..it sure is a sweet, sweet place to be.

He told me in November that he is waiting for me to wake up and say “what the hell have I gotten myself into?” Hadn’t happened yet. Not gonna. So there… neener, neener!

I am sooooo looking forward to everything that comes next. Everyday. The next morning coffee together, the next blueberry pop-tart kiss from Juicebox on the way to school, the next cuddle from MastaG, the next family dinner, the next movie at home with “2 big people, 2 little people and a beagle” on the couch…the next quiet evening together after the boys are in bed…

AT, MastaG, Juicebox and I have been a bit strung out on the daily life thing lately. Moving, holidays, family visits, work, selling the house, back to school… Entering the new year, we’ve just now hit a place where we can stop for a rest…it’s been WOOOOOONNDERFUL!

This is life.
