After the DaBells came home from their vacation, the girls have been nothing but adorable! They have gotten attached to me! Which means I must be doing my job :) ha They really do like me and they will cry when I leave for an activity, and are more than excited when I get home and get to play with them! They've met Adam a couple of times, the girls are slow to warm up to anybody, but Sophie is hilarious! She just stares at him, won't talk to me or Paul if she can see him! Sadie has warmed up to him, she will talk to him and play around. I just hadn't realized when I met the girls, we instantly started playing! Diana said that they never warm up to people that quick, and she was right!

Adam and I have seen each other every day since we met nearly a month ago. It feel like I have known him for months! We have been a couple for two weeks now, scary to think about. It really has been different. I am so used to being independent, having my guard up, taking care of my self. Adam comes in and just wants to take care of me and protect me. He told me how before, he would only date short girls, like 5'4''! That's tiny! He argued with friends promising he would never date a tall girl, ever! And here he is, with me, 5'10''! And everything just feels so natural. Are hugs, when we lay together, even just walking together is so comfortable. I just melt when I'm with him! There have been a couple times that we will be hugging, and he will say something so cute and mean what he says, and my knees will just lose feeling and I just fall for him! (Multiple meanings there)
I met his family when we first started dating, and they are just the sweetest people! His parents are so kind and so cute! They way Adam talks to his mom is so cute! He is always saying how adorable she is and points out things he loves! Always talks about her service and how she is just the sweetest lady! And she is! His dad is funny! It's funny to be able to see his personality compared to Adam's! They are so much alike! They know everything about each other and connect really well! Even their laugh is the same! Adam's little 14-year-old sister Grace is adorable! She has really warmed up to me and we get along really well! In fact, we are going shopping on saturday! Just the two of us! :) Jennan on the other hand, decided she hated me before she met me and won't give me a chance to prove that she and I would get along. She acts nice to make Adam happy, but she avoided me all night and won't even try. Her and Adam argue a lot because we are dating.. Of course it feels like my fault, and it shouldn't. According to Adam, she is always like this. But I can't just shrug it off like it doesn't bug me. The rest of his family likes me! His niece, Sarah, would never let me leave, if she had a say in it! She is just too darn cute! Adam's older sister, Eva, has 7 kids! Katelyn, Kyle, Emma, Sarah, Jacob, Lizzie, and one more.. I'm surprised I remember that many! haha but they are cute, cute kids! Play very well together and I just fit right in! I love it! :)

It is weird to be in a relationship. I have never felt this way. It scares me. But Adam reassures me that he will protect me. I just wish I knew what to do. Is he the one I will marry? Will my family like him if they get to meet him? Will he be a good husband? Everyone tells me to look for these red flags, and I guess I see where they are coming from, it's just hard to find them! Everyone else judges second hand, they only hear stories and jump to conclusions without seeing or experiencing what I do. I don't want to feel like I have to choose between my life and my relationship. It would be so much easier if we were in Utah, he could meet my family and my friends and then they could judge everything. Everything would just be easier if I were at home..
