Distressed - lol at do as I say not as I do...hehe
My dad used to say that to me growing up.
Thought you would like that after my backslide this week. Its amazing what the mind does when you are tired.

Made me laugh good.
So I checked out the house and called her figuring I'd just cover the details then get off. Well she starts talking to me about all kinds of stuff. Mostly chit chat but I could sense she didn't want to get off the phone. We would have a silence then she would start up a new subject. This is big since most of the phone conversations over the past few weeks involved her getting off rather quickly and I could feel it. My son was even pestering her and she kept telling him to go play. She used to use that as a 'reason' to get off the phone. We ended up talking for about 30 minutes.
She also said, "I had a really nice time with you last night. Even though parts were uneventful (slow spots during the reception where I asked her if she wanted to thumb wrestle and she pulled out a deck of cards... we were laughing) it picked up when we started dancing and it was a fun night."
Good positive stuff.
I thought she might do a pull-away today, didn't expect it just thought it might happen, but it seems like it didn't.

This is all great stuff. Talking on the phone is always easier for me than in person with my W. We seem to have a lot to talk about but when we are home together we seem to have so much to do we just pass each other and wave.
Its also great that she is still being positive and talking about what a great time she had. Good times build good memories and the more of these you have with her the better she will feel toward you.
As MFT said you are doing great, keep it up and worry about the end of the two weks when it comes. If she does not come home in two weeks do not take this as a bad sign. You both are getting along better now apart than together. Maybe you both needed the space to regroup and see what you will both be missing. Look at it like starting to date her all over again and remember how much fun that was the first time and now you cando it all over again.
