My previous blog entry was driven by my anxiety of picking up SD from BM, being on a last minute hunting trip with the fiance's family and what to do/not do over the course of our time together. 

First I have to say thank you to all replies to my blogs. I truly love seeing various point of views. As for the hunting trip... it was fantastic! I was able to be myself and the entire trip was filled with laughter and stories of their past as a family, as well as their asking about mine.

Second, picking up SD from the BM, well I went. I stayed in my truck and it ended with a -what I think was friendly- waive goodbye. SD ran straight to me with excitement, perhaps that helped put BM at ease about me? That's a very hopeful assumption, but I feel like it's a start.

Last but not least. Having SD this past week. This pertains more towards my first blog entry. The normally ornery child has been fantastic! We still have had problems with her eating and certain things of that nature but I kept reminding myself that she is 3 and brussel sprouts aren't for everyone *lol*

I have taken advice from the comments given on this page and I am temporarily the new favorite parent! -My fiance has actually been jealous- haha We have spent every day after school/work together attached at the hip. She even told her daddy, "learning with 'KBee' is fun." 

Maybe this is a phase, maybe it's the beginning of a better relationship. Talking with you all and having conversations with my fiance has truly been the ticket. Talk to yall soon, thanks everyone! :)
