Oh, I left out the best parts!

At one point in the car, I showed him a spider bite (?)on my neck. Not really sure what it was, but I pointed it out and told him, this is not a hickey!

He grinned and said, I don't mind if you make out with anyone as long as you kick them out when I come over.

I scowled and said, "I've been loyal to you. Haven't been with anyone."

He said, "Really?"

"Really."

Later on he hugged me close and said, "Thank you for waiting for me." He looked teary eyed.

Another high point, we were in the car driving back from Botanical Garden and I said, "I hope you don't get mad at me for saying this again, but I don't regret being seperated this past year. I think it was good for us and I've become a better person.

He reached for my hand and said, "Yes you have. And I think I've changed too. I get less angry now. I've become more tolerant."

And we discussed our budgets in more detail.

Good stuff!

Hugs.
