+ Introducing more of myself and my family +

I have already introduced myself briefly, but let me start over by saying hello with my family.

It was only but four years ago that my life was changed dramatically! From living at home, a rebellious young adult, to moving out and meeting the other half of my life. Four years ago I would of never imagined myself a husband, or a family man. Let a lone being a father!

In March of 2013, I met my beloved wife. Our first date was to go to the movies. Simple first date. We spent a good time talking and getting to know each other. We decided to go out again! About a week went by since we first met, and already we were on a sort of "honeymoon"! I had planned a trip for us to go down to the beach. It was all in good fun.

Fast forward a mere three months ... and.... we decided to get married!
WHAT!? ..I know I know, that is what my parents faces said when we decided to tell them after the fact!
I've always been spontaneous like that. With everything. Even marriage. Life is too short to wait around /on engagements lol
My grandparents coincidentally married a few months after falling in love also.
Guess it runs in the family?
We had been living with each other in a small, shared apartment by the ocean. We were both working and providing for each other. We were in love, still are, and thought might as well seal the deal.

So after a while it began to be difficult to continue living by the coast. So we found a studio of our own a little inland. Doing the same things most couples do. Working, going out, eating, having fun! While we were living it up as newly weds, my wife was working on her green card and bringing her daughter over to the U.S. Again, .. I know you could easily say "she must of used this poor guy!" Trust me, I've heard it! And I can see how it could seem that way.
But fake news aside.

She was successful! Being married over two years really helped the process and the interview was a breeze. My wife was so happy to finally bring her daughter overseas united at last. It had been three long years since! She was off to pick up her daughter. Unfortunately I could not go with her because I had just gotten hired at a wonderful place! Good pay, great environment. It was the first time we had ever been apart for a prolong period of time. An entire month.

So I'm at the airport ready to meet her daughter and to see my bride again. As soon as I see them walking my heart fills up literally with something that had mass because my chest and stomach felt very heavy. It was like love at first sight all over again! And also feeling something snap, or click in me once I saw my step daughter. I knew I was instantly changed yet again.

We stayed at that tiny studio ,that hardly fitted a couple, for six more months, and decided to move further inland. Good bye coastal weather. . .

And guess where we moved?
My parents house! Yup! And! That's not all folks!
My wife was pregnant!
How's that for spontaneous change!

My father and I had turned half of their garage into an even smaller studio, with no restroom, no running water. But, it had wifi.
My parents also had a small camping trailer, where my wife and I stayed. Step daughter was in the studio.
Those were some really hard times I admit. Just typing this all and thinking back is like, damn. I really did that? lol
Anyways, about five months into staying at my parents house and learning to cooperate.

Our son was born!

What an experience that was! Truly life changing, flesh of my flesh, bone of my DNA.
He was a jumbo baby I might add. Currently he is about seven months and already weights 26lbs and is wearing clothes for a 24 month old baby.

After our son was born we started to look for a place of our own. After being able to save up so dough staying at my generous parents house. Thank you!
We moved out and settled not to far from them. I am still working for that same company. And three years later I have gotten several raises and am settled in.

I love where I have been, and who I have met. I love where we will be, and I am grateful for each and everyday I get to spend with my beautiful family. I hope you enjoyed my "second" introduction. And if you could please give me a follow! I will gladly follow back. This Steemit thing is pretty neat!
