Where We Are Now

I know I'm skipping over a lot of stuff. Here is the brief rundown.

Lived with my aunt and uncle for a while.
I had met the lady two doors down a few times before and thought she was cute.
We eventually started hanging out a lot together.
Her kids were 3 and 5 when I officially started "seeing" her.
We eventually got married.
We had two more children.
We moved to a new town very recently.
The two oldest (who had grown up and moved out some time earlier) moved back closer to us.
The kids are all girls.
The oldest is now 22, married and is expecting a little one of her own this summer.
The second oldest is 20, engaged and HAS a little one already.
The third is 12, loves animals, is very artistic and is what I would consider very grown up for her age.
The fourth is 10. Although both my younger girls are involved in sports, the youngest is the more athletic of the two. She is much more laid back and outgoing, a trait her father doesn't have.

I love them all. People have asked if I would have liked to have had a boy. The answer is simple. Heck no! I wouldn't trade my girls for the world! Sometimes I dream though what it might have been like to be able to leave the toilet seat up.
