Could this be my Dream Guy?

I finally went on the date, and our relationship began. We went on a few more dates and all of a sudden Covid hit (what a weird time). At that point most of our dates consisted of me making dinner and us hiding out together because of the mandates. After a month or so we called it official and began a serious relationship.

Now this was something different. Could this be the guy? All kinds of triggers started arising for me now that I was in a relationship that seemed like it was going somewhere. Would he do the same thing to me as the last guy did? Or the guy before that? Or the one before that? It was a lot to work through.

Eventually, we both decided we really wanted to be together, and to also start a family. I think we had both reached a point in our lives where we were ready to settle down. So, we were not being very careful, and well 6 months after we began dating… I was pregnant!! I couldn’t believe it. I was also someone who thought I’d have a hard time getting pregnant (due to period issues, another story). We had just decided to move in together, and I had literally just finished signing the contract with the people who would be renting my house, and I was driving to his “shouse” with the final things I had to move. He was on his usual midnight shift, and I had been texting him and I arrived at his house and was having a few celebratory drinks. He had been asking me all week if I had gotten my period because it was late, but I kept blowing it off for two reasons. For one, I was extremely busy trying to move after work and get the rental stuff in order. Secondly, I had a late period the first month we were together, and so I figured it was just another weird fluke. Well, he felt I should try taking a pregnancy test, so I drove to a nearby town and found one. I was sitting on the toilet after peeing on the test, drink in hand, and holy shit.. It was positive! We were both so extremely happy and grateful! 

Ever since then, we have been together. We happily welcomed our first daughter, Colette, into the world, sold both our houses, bought a new house together, got married, welcomed now a second daughter Estelle into the world, and are truly just living our best life! Kevin truly is my soul mate, and I could not be happier to have such a loving husband, and father for my girls. I look forward to each day I have to spend with him and our family. Here began the beginning of my "happy ending," and also the beginning of a new journey that I was now ready to embark on.

I had finally got my dream life that I had wanted, and I could not be more grateful for the struggle to get here. I truly believe that I had to go through all that to grow as a person and to mentally be capable of allowing the space for these things to come into my life.
