Whatta Surprise!
PostedToday is my day off but my husband and I woke up very early for our dental appointment. After we were done with the dentist, we drove past two houses. Both of us didn't like it. When we got home, I started cooking dinner. Then my husband's youngest daughter Aubree wanted to come over. She lives with her mom and she had no school today since it's a U.S. federal holiday(Martin Luther King Day). So while waiting for our food to be done, my husband picked her up. She's 16 and she's not driving yet.
I'm so happy that Aubree liked the food that I prepared. It started when she stayed with us last christmas. Now, she (according to her) always looks forward to it. For someone who doesn't know how to cook, it's really a big deal. And she even hugged me which really took me by a surprise. First time she did that to me. It's not that she didn't like me. There was just not enough time for us to know each other well until last christmas. And it also had something to do with her mom, of course. I'm pretty sure that her mom was feeding her negative words against me and her dad, hence the aloofness. Case point: when she stayed with us during holiday, she uttered something like, "she's nice(facing her dad). I didn't realize that you're nice(facing to me)". Huh? Where the hell do you think she got that idea that I'm not nice? We only met occasionally and God knows I didn't do anything that made her think that I am mean.
Anyway, God is really amazing. Now, she said to her dad that she likes me and she wishes to stay with us. In fact, before she left today, she asked if she can stay with us this coming Holy Week. That would be nice so she will get to know me some more. This is also one way for her to find out herself that her dad is not a monster as what her mom keep telling her.
