me too John..Caleigh and I were with Michele and her girls all weekend..I'm leaving work now to go play golf with the boys..life is pretty good..
I was having a chat with a friend yesterday regarding the new GF. Things are going well etc.... In spite of all this, I do not see myslef moving in together (with her kids and dogs) and starting all over again. I am beginning to enjoy my space. I guess that is what happens. We get used to living alone. This is purely hypothetical and nowhere close to becoming an issue, howver, it would be nice to get the thoughts of folks who are beginning to move on like Mike and Kerry (and those who will eventually) give their thoughts on this. I have no problems with sleepovers etc....but I do not think I am ready to start a new family. Just a little twist on the moving on roadmap.
Hmmmmm interesting John..interesting...from a personal standpoint and my own sitch...I can and have thought about what could be in the future and am open to another M...I don't know when...and have no time table..I love Michele and we are a good fit together. Her daughters clearly love me as Caleigh loves them and their are no issues so far and I anticipate none..being a two time D'd person I realize that it's hard to put your heart out there again but know that heartbreak and disapointment are parts of life and only make me stronger in the end...
my greatest wish in life is to find that one person who will grow old with me and be faithful to the end...
my strongest attribute/strength is knowing that if I don't find that person that I'll be perfectly fine and have a great life..
To Make The Journey and Not Fall Deeply In Love-Well, You Haven't Really Lived A Life After All
so those are my thoughts John...and I have no clue what all that means.....I can see being married again...I'm just not rushing it..
John,it is good to be having such thoughts and not rushing into moving in tog, or marriage thoughts. Everyone maybe getting on like a house on fire,days out, overnighters etc are great but it is a huge step away from being a "blended family" Those I know who have done it always tell me they can't believe how hard it is or how many problems crop up. Usually one person gives far more than the other. The happiest couple I know is one that only one person the wife in this case had children. It can be done hey look at the Brady bunch! but needs lots of thought so many little lives are at stake but all can be overcome I am sure.
I agree that living alone you do become used to it, I was amazed at how little time it took for me especially after 35years tog and going from 5 in the house to just me. I do get lonely but it passes and I admit to liking my own space now and routine more than I ever thought possible. When the time is right you will know.
John - You and I are very similar - must be that Kamehameha Day thing. I am in no hurry to settle down again. The blended family has it pros and cons. We are taking a 3 week vacation to Kauai in August and that will be a good test.
I am with Naej in that a little routine time on my own is very calming.
