Thank you for stopping by with your words of encouragement Sage.

In our previous two separations, my W and I just sat back and expected everything to work itself out with little or no effort on our part. This time, my W and I are determined more than ever to make our M work, and we are both willing and able to do whatever it takes to make that happen.

This weekend was one of the most love filled weekends I've spent with my W in the last 14 years. She's been reading "The Five Love Languages" and she's been filling my "love tank" every day. As soon as she figures out her LL's, I'll be able to do the same for her. Until then, I've been doing my best to cover all 5 LL's.

Saturday was the 50th wedding anniversary for my W's parents. I had asked my W on Thursday what we would say to friends and family if they asked about our sitch. I didn't want to put anything out there that would put any pressure on my W. We agreed to just say that we were talking and working on getting back together. I doubt very much that my W would have agreed to this unless she truly felt that we would be living as H & W again in the near future.

We had a GREAT day on Saturday with her family. I felt as though my W and I presented ourselves as newlyweds with all of our hugging, kissing, and holding hands. My W's family all came up to me and expressed their happiness for my W and I. They never took sides in our sitch and each and every one of them offered their support to both of us.

Sunday was a day of relaxation as my W and I went down to the beach and had a little picnic followed by some cuddle time in the sun. We are both excited about having a future together as H & W, and we know what we must do to make that happen.
