Hi Silver,

I found your thread before I checked in here:) Wow...my stomach did a flip flop reading your H's email.

My H has been in contact quite a bit over xmas shopping for the kids. He said 'I don't mean to be getting all these things just from me...all the gifts can be from 'Mom and Dad', or me or you..."

This is the most collaboration we have ever done on xmas shopping. Before he left, we'd talk a little bit about it, but I did all the shopping.

That's improvement.

It is unimaginable to me that we could be interacting and being such partners to have the D continue AFTER the holidays.

Usually, H is depressed during xmas...and last year was horrible. Last year felt like D was around the corner. This year feels great. It's like those papers were just as trivial as some angry words in a heated argument.

Very expensive!!

On a side note...d8, s10 and I went to a nice little party at CC(cute coach) house last night. I had a nice time.
