Going from the transition of being a fabulous single girl to an instant mom was tough, for sure. I had to continually remind myself that, first and foremost, I am me. I am Tristen. Then, I am a wife and a step-mom. To do this, I had to preserve all of the things that I'm interested in, even if they didn't fit into my new role. I had to preserve the relationships with my friends. I got really lucky because I was blessed with an awesome step-mom in my own life, and she sort of trained me, by default, that I had to preserve my own identity. I also have an awesome husband who gets it. He gets it when I need a few days off of being a step-mom and a few days on, of being a single girl. I would say that the hardest transition was giving up my two-door convertible coup, for a more family friendly, definitely less sexy, car.
