One of my girlfriends had roped me into going on a date with someone we met at a bar, and let me just say, it was the WORST first date, EVER, but the one of the best days of my life!
To start with, this guy brought me to a hole-in-the-wall dive bar at three o'clock on a Saturday afternoon (well, I drove myself, and he rode his bicycle there...) to play bar bingo and eat some food. Over numerous cocktails, he proceeded to tell me how he was banned from the bar by his house for life, and couldn't remember what he did to provoke that. Not the kind of thing that you want to hear on a first date, especially when you're a single mom (just ScReAmS bad role-model, if you ask me)...
By this point, I decided I was going to milk the date, and get myself a good (FREE) buzz on! Later that night, I saw someone walk in, and was instantly attracted! Turned out this man that just walked into my life went to high school with the guy I was on a "date" with.
He sat with us and started chatting, and we sort of cliqued right away! Shortly after we started chatting, I ran out of cigarettes (I know, you don't need to say anything), and I asked this mystery man if he could drive me to the gas station since I was in no shape to drive there myself. We exchanged numbers, and went back to the bar.
When we got back, his buddy had arrived, so I went back to the "date" but we kept texting each other. When it was closing time, they both ended up coming back to my apartment, and had another drink with me :-) I've been head over heals in love with this man since I first laid eyes on him that night....
I know it's not all roses and champagne, but I have never been this happy in my life, and I look forward to every minute and every day that I have with him and our crazy little family.
In the coming posts, I hope to convey a lot of different things:
- Different reasons I love him
- Watching my awesome daughter adapt to not being an only child anymore (one of four now!)
- Me being something I never thought I would be (DOMESTICATED) and all that goes with that!
- Everything else I love about our family and the crazy things we do/say/think
Until next time <3 <3 <3
