Yessss. It has begun. Hit me with those subtweet Andi! 

This is the best cast of characters I could have imagined: Josh (with possibility of JoshBear making a guest appearance), Crazy Vindicive Andi (TM), Nick/Ick2, and Amanduhhhh. Please let this never end.

I come from sort of a mixed family.  My mom got remarried last fall after an almost year long courtship/engagement (she got engaged after 5 weeks of dating -- to say that I was shocked was a complete understatement).  I thought that they should date a little longer before getting engaged, but they were very sure about being committed right away.  She had been a widow for several years and not dating anyone after my dad's death before my stepdad came into the picture.  I was happy for my mom, but not so much for me.  I had grown up having both my parents together and as an adult then suddenly there was this stranger marrying my mom.  Now, I can appreciate and care about my stepfather as my mother's husband and as my friend/family member, but not a father figure.  That took me a little while. You can learn to adapt at any age.  I hope that Amanda and Josh really feel committed to this relationship and from there -- start facilitating a connection between Josh and the girls.
