That is a great exchange. He almost seemed defensive about working on it....like he wants this. Looks like you have some celbrating plans to put together, perhaps putting that nice gift certificate to a restaurant to work.
I thought you handled the lawn thing very well also.
I would probably get him something very thoughtful for him for the Anniversary, not anything mushy but something to do with stuff that he loves to do....at least that is what I would do.
It is also like he is looking for you to be positive about your M. Add that to your todo list. You have a lot of reasons to be positive, things are heading in the right direction. He may withdraw a little bit from time to time....don't lket this de-rail you. Sometimes we take one step backwards to go 2 steps forward.
