Don’t you just love it when God blesses the second time around? Here’s the thing about blended families… God truly can take our hurts and mistakes from the past and bless them in the future if we let Him. This family has been blended together for 10 years now. Knowing Rob and Michelle personally, the hardships and celebrations and everything in between, I can tell you that there is hope and expectation in second chances.

What do now know about marriage that you didn’t when you got married?

“That you don’t need money to go on dates and show your love and be able to spend time together.”

If you could wish for anything for your future what would you wish for?

“More family vacations and more 1/1 trips.”

“Even living with tight means he still finds ways to say “Happy Birthday,’ ‘Happy Mother’s Day,’ and even ‘I know your having a rough day.'”

How fun that we would find a BIG heart rock in the middle of their session?? Ok… back to the interview.

What has been the biggest obstacle in your marriage to date?

“Still, sometimes, being a blended family because we can’t change the ways that some things are with our girls since we aren’t both each of their legal guardians.”

“I would say as a blended family you have to take your time in building the trust of the kids and also be patient with challenges that they face with the family change as well.”
