cf,

First, I'm gld that the holiday went well. Secondly, I couldn't help but notice that you threw it out there to your W: "It's a small stepping stone for us". You may be forcing it again. Let your actions speak for you. She'll decide what she wants with or without you telling her what you think it was. Be careful about the pursuit stuff. BTW: Who the he** am I to give advice how to do it right \:\) Merry Christmas, anyhow!
