Thanks YoYo,

I think the improvements in my marriage are a by product of the improvements in me.
Like I said earlier I am kind of on cruse control right now. I will be unemployed soon. This is something I have never been.
My life is about to start a new chapter. I DO NOT WANT TO CARRY ANY excess baggage with me to my "New Chapter"
One change (though small) is I found my voice.
As you know in the past my wife and I have a Communication problem of "avoidance". We don't talk about uncomfortable things we have in our relationship. And you know me Mr. E-mail / letter writer......
Well if you read earlier I finely apologized to wife for accusing her of going through my stuff and taking "The Picture". So this was a double whammy for wife. One was the accusation and the other was the "content" of that picture.. Both uncomfortable things. NORMALY once I wrote the letter she would not respond and I would have left it at that. Yesterday when the package arrived with the Jeep parts I ordered and the pink shirt I ordered for her I went to her office to open it. Before I opened it I asked her if she accepted my apology. She answered "Oh... Yes" kind of matter of factly.(is that a word teach?)..Not in a quiet voice indicating I annoyed her with the question.. So I said "in that case I got you something" and I opened the box and gave her the shirt.
She liked it. I mean she did not jump up and down and hug me and kiss me and rip my shirt off like it... but she liked it.
I know Rome was no built in a day, but like I said there is a Small talk in the near future coming up. I NEED COMITMENT. I am not going to start my next chapter feeling unsecure in my marriage AND looking for a job.
The time is coming to get on board for this new adventure or bail.. No hanging on to the side..

Well Got ta go..Only working a half day today using up my vacation time..(They pay it out if I didn't but it is taxed 1/3 as a bonus)

Thanks YoYo We need to meet someday I would be more than happy to have “detention” with ya

XOXOXO
