That sounds really nice!!! What a great surprise that you did end up finding each other after hiking. It's really positive that he mentioned the houses online, really, really good sign.
It does sound like you're slowly rebuilding your life together. I like that you are using his car, and he is staying in your house.
Really happy for you
