h had a great day yesterday..even though he spent the majority of it working in the yard...as I said before we were invited to go to bil's house..but h declined..he wanted to stay home and enjoy his house...knowing we'd be home..I invited my mother and her bf to come over...then learning that cousins who live down the road would be around doing nothing I invited them over as well.
h woke early with us...started in on the yard work..preping the area to put up the "pool" had to build a semi retaing wall to make the area level...mowed the lawn...started setting up the pool...
I did the grilling...
h couldn't say enough times what a great day it was...the weather..his ability to get so much done...while he was mowing the lawn I asked him if he was enjoying himself..he said "yes, I'm doing exactly what I want to do"
so h was happy doing yardwork...taking an ocassional break to eat and chat a few...but getting accomplished things that he wants done.
durning the cookout I mentioned wanting to get an octagon picnic table to put by the deck, the deck holds a table that seats 6...and I'd like the octagon table to take the overflow still keeping people together.
h asked if we could re schedule our c appointment tonight..he wants to just get some stuff done around here...stressed we'd do it together and therefore would still have "us" time...
I had to make some adjustments on the pool as it's filling.
I called him to let him know I had made the adjustments and may be able to have it all finished by the time he gets home...that his mother is still offering to sit if we'd like to still go to c.
h expressed that he still wants to go but would prefer to just relax with me this evening...and we can go next monday again stressed that he's not saying he doesn't want to go just that tonight he would prefer to just chill.
I am ok with that!!
ok the conversation had more tid bits in it but here's the kicker..
eventually at the end of the conversation I said
" can I say something else" "sure" "I love you" " I love you too, and I ordered an octogon table and may be able to bring it home tonight" "you're funny! thank you, I love you" "I love you too"
aint it grand...
now my LL isn't gifts...but h's is...and since h heard me..that feeds into qt (he was there, he heard and he acted)
now if I could just accept that life is good and I am safe with h!
