Good morning Will, SB, Andre, everybody. Yes, I'm still here - it's just that darned relationship thing gets in the way of me posting on the weekends!
Saturday we had to divide and conquer, H was picking up S16 at a Japanese competition, while I was taking S11 to a band competition. Was talking to H on the cell phone and he told me "imagine what it would have been like to try to coordinate all this if we were separated" and then told me how glad he was that we weren't (separated).
Yesterday we went out together and bought some new furniture for our new back porch. Feels so good to be planning a future together.
Next weekend one of his sisters is coming into town on a business trip with her H. It will be interesting talking with her because I don't know what she knows about what has been happening here. H was talking to his brothers and his mom throughout but I think whatever she knows is through the grapevine, so I suspect her first words to me when I pick her up at the airport will be something on the order of "what the heck has been going on here?".
I like his sister and can see that the things we've learned here could really help her own marriage, but it's so hard to try to communicate this to others, isn't it? You want to save everybody from going through what you went through, but maybe the only way to get here is to go through it? I don't know.
Friday night I get to spend in hotel in LA with H again (business) - same place where those two guys tried to pick me up in the bar
All in all, life is good, PMA is excellent, today is day 5 of seven days hiking in a row for my training and it is going well. Keeping the focus on myself and the things I am doing for myself, as that is important to me and to my H.
