Oh Yeah, It's Official!!!

Kim and I are officially/legally/spiritually a family now, we exchanged vows on July 14, 2007 at Blissfest around 5:30 in the evening. It was a beautiful cerimony and most of the people that we wanted to be there were there. The people that couldn't make it were there in our hearts. The people who chose not to be there really did miss out on a great and loving time. I hope that they don't continue to miss out on things. We have, who I think will be an amazing little girl, a new addition to the family due to arrive in 9 short weeks. It would be nice for my little girl to experience positive role models in an assortment of lifestyles and life choices. The people that know us best will know of whom I am referring. It might be a little hard to be a positive person in my daughter's life, especially at an age where she will be like a little sponge, with ill feeling towards one of her parents. I know that some people will view that as being "pompous", but it's how I feel, and from the heart. I have said it before, if I am an "asshole" for sharing my feelings then so be it...



It took me 32 years to find the right woman to marry and have a child with, and that woman is Kimberly Allison Bowman, she is my light and I love her with all my heart. I have also realized in my 32 years that I am a very good man, I am respectful and kind and deserve to be respected in return. I have done nothing but support, love, encourage, and respect Kimberly, and will continue to do so for as long as she is in my life (which will be until we are gone from this life and may be 2 or 3 more lives, hehehe). Maybe I am an "asshole" because I have encouraged Kim to be open with her feelings, and she has let them out too (hmmmmm, I shall ponder this). I was sad at first for Kim that only her Mother was at our wedding (of the people that could actually make it to the wedding). But then, I realized that my family loved her just as much as I did, simply because I love her. So Kim ended up having as many people at our wedding there to support her as I did.



Anyway, sorry for the diatribe here, but I still don't feal right about certain things. It doesn't really sit well with me how I and ultimately Kim is being treated by (family member), and I am finding it hard to keep quiet about it. I thought may be getting it all written out and shared with you all that it would make it better somehow. I think it worked to an extent, I do feel a little better. It's good we have this blog where I can talk about this stuff.
