There has been something I have come to grips with over the last couple of years. I am not getting any younger, and while I am not old by any means, I have come to an age where finding a man who has never been married with no kids is harder and harder to do. I didn't really know how I would really feel about that until Jason started talking about his kids. When we started dating, I knew he was a dad, but it never really seemed real until the night I met them. It took us a little while before I was ready to go meet Jordan and Sophia. I think he wanted to make sure I was going to be ok with it before he introduced us. It is a tricky situation, and I am sure as a single parent, it is an interesting tight rope to walk. What if I introduce everyone and this person decides it is not what they want? Well, one Thursday, Jason decided it was time and asked me if I wanted to come over and hang out. I had begun to feel like I was missing out, every time he had the kids I didn't get to be a part, and I was ready to meet them. I had heard so much about them, I was ready to meet these children he bragged about all the time!
The first night I met them, I just couldn't get over how cute they were! They were so polite and loving with Jason, I was really impressed with the dynamic. But what really got me was seeing him as a dad. Up until that point, it wasn't real. When I heard them call him "dad" and saw him playing with them, it was a side of him I hadn't seen yet, and it was a little overwhelming but really cool at the same time. Things that night went really well and I couldn't wait to hang out with them again. As more time passed, I just couldn't imagine Jason and I's relationship without them as a part if it. They love Jason so much, he loves them so much, and they have been so accepting of me into their lives. It's funny sometimes when I think about it. About 6 months ago, I was praying for a man and a family and 2 months later, I got two dogs, a boyfriend, and his two kiddos. My life has changed 180 degrees and wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
