A forever home

Having a blended family is not what I thought it would be.

 In fact, I never really thought much of it because I truly believed in marriage forever. (I still do.) 

 But here I am... in a blended family. 

 Do you ever wonder what it's like to be a big part of a child's life that isn't your flesh and blood? It's indescribable. It's wild. It's ridiculously crazy fun. And it's super emotional. 

Maybe it's her. Maybe it's me. 

I like to think it's both of us. 

The very first day I met her, she didn't talk much. She was busy worrying about the possibility of an evil stepmother. I was busy worrying she wouldn't like me. 

But then... we pretty much fell in love with each other and I can't imagine my life without her in it. 

 So here we are. 3 years later... she's a part of me. 

She quickly found her way to my heart... and then she dug in there and made herself a perfectly sweet home. A forever home.
