So today was an amazing day. Today was another step towards something greater, something unexpected.. Today Chris met my girls.. I don’t think it could have gone any better. We met at the Children’s Museum downtown, and I will admit that my nerves were completely getting the better of me. I couldn’t help it though.. I just felt that there was SO MUCH riding on this little encounter. And it did, in fact, tell me quite a bit :)

First, my youngest daughter; she thought Chris was VERY HANDSOME.. I think she might even have a little crush, which is pretty cute. She just kept gushing over him in the car ride home, how nice he is, how funny it was to see him laughing at her while she was running through the big fountain in the center of the plaza. How much she liked him, how much she wanted to see him again. She is still at the age where she can be brutally honest, and every single thing that came out of her mouth was completely positive.

Then, my oldest daughter, she loved Chris too. She wanted him to immediately come home with us and hang out at our house. She kept hinting for me to invite him over before we left. And when we grabbed dinner on the way home, she wanted to make sure that Chris was also invited to that.

And it just felt amazing. Their reaction to him, his reaction to them.

I admit to being just a bit emotional ever since.

In many ways, I am still very much processing it all. How this amazing person could come into my life, and change it so completely. And more than I ever expected, I feel that ALL of the pieces are just fitting together. There is no forcing, no pressure, just complete surrender to something amazing. And I cannot help but think that we are in fact just two halves of the whole. And all of this.. Is somehow just feels right.

Wow.
