An update. in Questions

I just felt like I needed to share a little update with the internet. Mostly because I have been living in San Diego for the last 6 months and have been away from all of my friends and family so I guess I just needed an anonymous (sort of?) place to share the good news.

I’m getting married in January…in like…less than three weeks.
It’s kind of surreal.
We were already planning on eloping when we found out that she was pregnant.
So…I am getting married and having a baby.
I’m going to be a step dad to two amazing little girls who I love very much.
So…that makes a party of five.

Life is the strangest thing I have ever done.

I’ve never been happy like this before.
Taryn is my partner, lover, and best friend.
I feel at home with her for the first time in my entire life.
She is the soulmate that I have always been missing and always been searching for.
There has been this deep aching in my soul ever since I took my first breath, and it stopped the moment I met her.

I earned this.
I deserve this.
I am worthy of this.
I am going to be a great husband and a fantastic father.
I’m so fucking happy that I didn’t die before I met her.

Life is the strangest thing I have ever done.

Anyway…

…that tables have turned and I just wanted to share the news.

I guess this is what happens when you spend three years working on yourself.

I love San Diego
I love Taryn
I love her girls
I love my life.

I am winning.

Life is still hard
But the hard is softer.

I’ll talk to you again soon maybe.
I dunno.
Maybe I won’t?
I will always love you though…just for being such a great listener.
Nothing can erase that.
