Congratulations to my dad and Kim!
My dad asked Kim to marry him on Thursday June 17th and she said yes!
I don't know if many of you know, but I threatened my dad to be sure this day would never come, back when my mom had recently passed away. I didn't want to know the pain that I thought I would feel to see my dad fall in love with another woman.
Truly, I don't think my dad could have found a better woman! She has been nothing but wonderful to our family. She is very sensitive to the fact that this has (and probably will contine to be) a rollercoaster of emotions for all the kids. But I truly believe my mom played a BIG hand in picking Kim for our family.
My biggest concern was the 3 little ones and how they would react to
A. my dad dating
and
B. Kim and dad getting married
I have to say, they were a little hesitant at first but the way Kim interacted with them was nothing but amazing. Although she doesn't have kids of her own, she has that maternal way with them. They have warmed up to her so fast and absolutely ADORE her. That has helped put all the older kids at ease!
I am so happy that my dad is happy! We have seen such a change in him - for the positive of course. We are excited Kim has taken on the challenge of our crazy family! But lets just say it, she fits right in. :)
