We never knew how much deciding to join a pool league would change our lives. At first it was no big deal, just playing pool and hanging out with friends once a week. One faithful night, Cathy ended up with a flat tire and seeing how it was dark and I had a tire pump I offered to fill it up for her. From there on we talked more often and started hanging out, outside of pool. He became my one in a million and each day we built stronger and stronger roots together. Introducing him to my kids was definitely a deal breaker! But he passed with flying colors as I knew he would. After that we were almost inseparable, aside from working and sleeping in our own beds. I believe we did just about everything together. Juggling single mom life and making sure our relationships were built for the long haul was our number one priority. Then we decided to move in together. Which brought on whole new challenges, but we faced them together. Life quickly changed living together. The once empty space in the house became filled. The dark rooms were brightened and silence was gone. The kids moved in and chaos ensued (just kidding, but seriously silence was definitely gone). We had fur babies of our own and the family was complete. As corny as it sounds she has turned this house into a home. It has not been all fairy tales and crickets though, haha. We have had a few cockroaches along the way, however we promise together we will work it all out, and stand beside each other through the thick and the thin. No matter what. For all of our new life's challenges and rewards we look forward to doing them together!
