Like with any couple, there are things that are in the way. Obviously in a long distance relationship, one of the big ones is distance. Something that we aren't quite ready to bridge yet, but are definitely impatient and anxious to bridge as well. Right now we are pushing that off for the time being but also tentatively trying to come up with viable options to make it work. As the parent of three kids, it was definitely a hurdle to "introduce" Spicy into their lives. Something we did in May, after many months of talking and texting. Incredibly the kids absolutely adore him, and he adores them in return. Over the last several weeks they've been getting closer and closer. Honestly, it was a big relief that they all get along so well and that they too are excited about the next step. Another hurdle is that we don't have a whole lot in common as far as well... anything. I am a total nerd, who loves comic book movies, and tv shows. I love nature documentaries...
