'HOW A CARELESS TEENAGER TURNED INTO A (STEP)MOM'

(life of a girl who survived domestic violence and stalking, fighting for a better life)

Welcome to the Fourteenth day I'm participating in the #monthlyauthorchallenge!
I'm really excited to join the challenge! Why? Because I would love to share some bits of my life with you.
I think it might surprise you and even shock you 😉

DAY 14 A Life-changing experience on Valentine's day 💕

We've had some dates before that night. Sometimes it would just be the two of us.
A lot of times we dated while there were 4 kids running around. 😄
I was careful.
I was not enthusiastic about having a man in my life again. I was fine with my life as it was, with the girls.
I didn't want my girls to bond with someone who could be gone the next moment.

He had to prove himself..

I'm someone who thinks things over a lot, especially when it affects my family, but that night of the phonecall was the first time I felt my body reacting to him.
Hard to prevent that from happening..

A couple of days later he came over again. It was Valentines day.
He brought me... Ehm... I FORGOT! (sorry @fitzgibbon!!)
But there must have been wine! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 We always talked while drinking 2 bottles of wine at least.😁
Okay, this sounds bad after writing about my addicted ex-husband...
I get it.
(But, we still did 😉)

What I DO remember was him bending towards me, saying 'Shall we kiss then?'
YES PLEASE! 😚
(I'm so sorry for this awkward story @mirthe @lotje @monies and @musicalily 😂)

That moment was exactly 10 years ago!!

I can't believe we've been dating for TEN years now!
Where did all those years go?!
Time for some nice words for my hubby..
(I hope I can outscore the nice words of @scan0017 in his last post..)

Honey..
Thanks for your patience. I know I can be exasperating 😁
Thanks for your support. (of course I'm not talking about the housekeeping... 😔)
Thanks for your trust.
Thanks for making me feel beautiful. (Even WITH the wrinkles 👵)
Thanks for your (crypto)money. KIDDING! 😎
Thanks for letting me be, just ME!

I LOVE YOU! 💑

I CAN'T WAIT to give you my present TONIGHT!

💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

Stay tuned!

-Thank you for your interest! I would love to hear something from you! Please leave a comment and I'll get back to you 😊 Hope to see you back tomorrow! Love you 😘!-
