Nathan and I met on Facebook dating back in July 2021. We quickly became good friends and felt like we could talk to each other about everything. Both of us were very surprised at how open and honest we were with each other, in the good and the not-so-good of our past. We both were Christians and enjoyed watching Chosen and discussing the Bible. And our future goals aligned. I loved spending time with Nathan, cooking together, going on hikes, and spending time together in general. After a couple of months, we decided to remain friends and each do our own thing in the dating world. And after a brief hiatus in keeping in touch, we reconnected in March 2022, while I was in California, visiting my best friend, my parents, and Xander. When I returned to Idaho in April 2022, we decided to start dating again and became an exclusive couple. I got to know his kids better and he slowly got to know Chloe. We were engaged on June 12, 2022 (sorry Rhyen for stealing your birthday). There have been growing pains of blending families, stress tied to coparenting with our past, ups and downs, many people who have tried to get in-between us, situations that have been not-so-great, but our love overcomes all of those obstacles and I appreciate every moment with Nathan, my children and his kids. This marriage and covenant with God, will be the blessing of our lives together. I cannot wait to be an official “Bonus Mom” and for Nathan to be my kid’s Stepdad!
