New life - part 3 - new woman

So, I posted a while ago about new life parts 1 and 2 which were house and car. What would have really made a big difference would have been a new lady in my life. I have to say that I even when I wrote those posts a while back, I had a pretty good idea what was coming. I first meet Kate in February, when we had coffee together, we were in touch a lot by different methods over the next few weeks but with her being away and me being away in California it was Easter Sunday before we found the time to meet again. We went for a picnic by the river at St Ives. it was sunny, we got on like a house on fire and she was is so very beautiful I just wanted to reach across and kiss her, but I was n't confident enough! We had a great time and chatting later, with my little 5 year old tucked up in bed but the teenagers around, I cheekily invited myself to her place. At first she declined but then came back to me and said I should come. We had our first kiss that evening and it's been wonderful ever since.

She is stunningly beautiful, with a wonderful warm and caring heart. She's very bright, a great mum, confident within herself and does n't need consistent external reinforcement. She is leveled and consistent with no sparodic spuing of emotions. She's quite a bit younger than me which actually works really well as she has a couple of kids 5 and 8 who, as of yesterday get on well with mine. We seem to have similar traits and outlooks on life as well so I'm hoping for a wonderful future. I have to say that I've scrutinised her pretty hard as well, given some of the bad realtionships I've had in the last couple of years and how I've missed the obvious and early signs that should have sent me running, but there is nothing. Six months in and I do not have one single minor concern. Every aspect of our relationship is just amazing.

Now that we are 6 months in, we had a grand meeting of the kids day yesterday and that went just as well as could have been hoped. Everybody got on really well.

So bring it on. With a house sale and finalisation of the divorce just around the corner, a fantastic new life is beginning. I am so very very excited, like I thought I could never be again :-)

And memories of that wonderful afternoon by the river, in St Ives under the sun? She had a great time but was just waiting and waiting for me to reach across and kiss her, lol.
