SOO HAPPY! Things are just working out..

What a huge difference a weekend can make. NO, I'm not in love yet, but I definitely got passed the whole country thing, etc. We just had such a wonderful time together this weekend and I met the ENTIRE family and friends of his. I went to his oldest DD's softball game Friday night and again Saturday morning. His X wife, with her husband (I met both before) and his parents were at the game too (hadn't met them). His X wife was sick and I took time to talk to her and asked her if we should just take the kids for the night, because she had them. She seemed grateful that I asked, but said no. His parents kept staring at me with HUGE smiles on their faces. It was so sweet. They are the nicest people I have ever met and they were just so happy to see that M was with someone. His mother asked M where we met and he said the Internet and she still doesn't believe him. LOL. She thinks he's joking. LOL. After the game, his kids went with their mom and Nina, M and I went to dinner. Alex was at a spend the night. We got back to his place at around 11pm and watched a movie and we all spread out on his couch (he has a huge sectional couch) and took blankets and fell asleep. Very cute. I woke up at 2am with Nina's foot in my face, so I knew it was to late to wake up and just put the alarm for early. We woke up at 7am and I took Nina and we showered at home and changed and drove back to his place to go see his oldest DD play an early morning softball game again. His X and his parent were their. M was teasing about something and I guess his X noticed or heard and approves of me because she hollered laughing from across the bleachers (so that M's parents can hear and God knows who else)that I need to straighten M out. I guess she assumes we are definitely a couple. It was all jokingly and I looked at her, smiled and said I like him just the way he is: Ornery. LOL. She nodded her head, his parents smiled and I think everyone is really happy for M, because I think he must have been very sad for a long time and they see a new M. He keeps saying to me that he feels 16 again. That he hasn't felt that way since before his marriage. He's just happy and I am so happy for him. I am glad I can make him happy. He is a good man. His parents told me that they hope to see me again very soon. M looked very suprised because his mother never said that to anyone. I think she's adorable and I could just squeeze his Dad. His Dad is in a wheelchair and his Mom had breast cancer and battled that for long time. She had a masectomy and her hair is now just growing back from the chemo. She fought it and succeeded with such a positive outlook. We didn't talk the first day, but the second day they asked a lot of questions and seemed to have known a lot about me already.
Sunday we went to a BBQ to meet M's friends. They were all very very nice. M doesn't drink a lot as I thought he might. Remember that I told you I wanted to see what he was like with friends and everything? I never told him that I don't want a drinker, but I just watched. He drank the first few times that we met. Not excessively, but enough the first two or three dates to raise an eyebrow and watch just how much and how often. Now that we've gone out so often I think it was only nerves. Since then, he might have 3 beers for the entire day and that is it. His friends also do not drink much. His best friends wife doesn't at all. None of them are partyers, they are all very family oriented. They all have their 3-4 kids and life revolves around them. Very nice to see since M and I are the same way. Alex my oldest and M seem to get along more and more each time. They laugh and joke with each other now. Alex is starting to voice opinions and tease M a lot. Which is her way of showing she is comfortable. She still misses X fiances kids very much, but I think in time that will slowly end. I know she is still hurting very much from that. I think the trip to Germany will do her a lot of good; clear her mind.
So the weekend ended and the butterflies are huge. I feel very giddy when we are around each other and we are just very happy. Still no major lovey dovey around anyone, but this weekend we did hold hands the entire time or M would have his arm around my shoulder. When we were together and no one was looking we would steal kisses and we would laugh because we felt that we were being sneaky. We miss each other when we are not around each other and I feel that M is becoming my best friend.
So it is not a feeling of infatuation but it's a feeling of just really appreciating the person that he is.

Catherine, that sounds wonderful. I am so happy you were able to look past some issues and just enjoy him for who he is. I know how hard it is to see past somethng that might annoy and focus on everything else, but as long as the issue isn't a red flag like heavy drinking or poor conduct around the kids, wild friends, etc. it is much easier to go on and let things be. He sound so sweet and fun. I just love going to baseball games of the kids and it is a great way to see how much they are into their kids when you go to a game. I am so loud at those things. My son is my pride and joy and you bet I scream loud when he hits good one. Have fun and continue taking it at a good pace like you are. You are doing it smart!

I am so happy for you Catherine! It all sounds great! It is wonderful that everyone gets along and that M, his family, and friends are good people. VERY important. :)
I agree with Judy, it was very nice of you to offer to keep the kids when the exw was sick. One point for you! lol
Good luck and keep us posted!

This is exactly what I want for everyone here! I'm so glad things have progressed this well for you so far!
I'm glad you're over the country thing and see him for the great person he is, regardless of where he's from.
If he were more cultured and worldly, he wouldn't be the man he is, and probably wouldn't be so compatible with you.
Sounds like the meeting of all the folks went well, great news all around!
Keep us posted,
Moody, smiling big big big
