That's kind of what i have told myself all along because I knew very early on she was a keeper and I would be a fool to walk away. It has been a bit of a struggle because I don't think I was truly ready for it but lucky for me she wasn't either. She flat out told me that she is very good about dismissing people, it is what she is good at and fought her own urges to self-sabotage our R. She told me it scared the $hit out of her because she could not come up with a reason to dismiss me. Lucky for us both that we were on the same page.

We see each other more and more every week. The only day this week I have not seen her is Monday even though on the days I have seen her it really isn't quality time. It's at the gym, the gym parking lot, picking up the girls last night to take them shopping, stuff like that. We are going out tomorrow night for my birthday with the kids, then Saturday night is kid free for the both of us and all next week as well so we technically have all week together.

My feelings grow as I get more comfortable. She is also the polar opposite of my XW so I am getting out of my 17 year comfort zone. It's not easy learning someone that is completely different than what you have been used to for most of your adult life. A much easier transition would have been to be with someone that was a close representation of my XW.

So for now I just continue to do my thing and enjoy life. School starts in three weeks for my girls and in two weeks I am taking them on a little min-vacation to a resort on a lake about 2 hours from here. We are going with some friends and their kids, the Dr. will also be joining us.

Soccer season starts as well!!
