It's not your typical story, instead of boy meets girl, it started with boy meets kids then meets girl much later. When we met, Miguel already knew my 3 children, Derick, Lily and Liam. I think that right there is why it worked so well. Their was no awkward stage with us. We were both bluntly honest about our current situations and it grew off that. We knew exactly what we wanted when our relationship first started and we meshed that together and it grew stronger everyday. Because he knew my family before meeting me, he already knew what he was stepping into. He lived across the street from my family and every so often my mother was in my ear about how I needed to meet this man across the street. I was so hesitant, until my vehicle needed some work. AND THAT MY Friends is where everything began. My mother will forever be thanked for this one and I will never stop hearing how she was right about this one. We bonded over our sarcastic jokes and crude sense of humor, our love for watching movies and eating chinese food. We didn't care what anyone else thought and that's where our trust grew. We then wanted more. Were a blended family and we wouldn't have it any other way. Between the honest truth and wanting better for our children that's how we got to where we are now. 2 and half years and 5 kids blended together, we hope to share our love with you all.
