This last weekend I got to spend some time with Bear's family.
What I love most, about both of our families, is their ability to love so easily and to accept Bear and myself into their welcoming arms.
When Bear's dad hugs me, I feel just as comforted and loved by him as I do with Bear.
And when his mom, sisters, and their spouses are standing around, I don't feel like I am an outsider looking in. I know that because Bear loves me, they are opening their hearts up to me as well.
And the same goes for my family. When we returned to my parents' house, the smile on both of their faces was priceless. They were so happy to have us home.
Love radiates between the two families. And the fact that all of them are willing to open up after all that has happened in the past, is quite incredible.

Stirred Up...
Life is flying by.
I guess it's a good thing to know that I am busy with family and friends...spending time with Bear...loving my new job, that as a result this blog is taking a back seat. Of course I don't want it to be and I am determined to make this something I don't just do to fill some time.
In all honesty this blog is a chronicle of my journey from darkness into light. A way to remind me of where I have been and how far I've come. Especially when my past comes back to bite me in the butt.
This last week and weekend for example. Boy did my past come back full force. And not in the form of memories, but in emotion. Old emotions of frustration and anger being stirred up.
Of course Bear was right there to support me. Guide me through what was reality versus what was my past.
Which of course leads me to worry. Silly things like, will Bear get tired of having to be that support?
I say silly because Bear has already shown me that he won't do things he doesn't want to do. He's shown me he is someone who believes that in a relationship support is necessary in order to have a successful relationship.
It's truly amazing to me sometimes what a difference this relationship is. How healthy, and loving it is. The honesty that makes up our building blocks. That each day Bear and I are better than before.

Compliment...
Wow...2 weeks.
Two weeks have gone by since I have posed on here. It feels that so much has gone by...the start of my new career. Learning all that I can so that I can be the best, most effective manager possible with my team.
I've also been inspired to try new things and return to old...yoga, CrossFit, running. It's all apart of my journey.
And at the same time, my relationship with Bear is stronger each day. We have so much fun together, but more importantly we are consistently learning and working on how to communicate with each other. His honesty is a quality I admire and love so much, and his ability to understand my needs in trying times and not trying times, makes him the perfect partner for me, especially at this time in my life.
When I use to think about the type of person I would need to compliment my temperament, my personality, he is that person. And it feels amazing to not have settled.
