This weekend was actually kind of nice. We started on Friday evening with me "inviting" W to come with me and the boys to Burger King at the park and ice cream. She accepted, and we had a nice evening. Later, she was going out to meet her brother and some others and said it was too bad it was late, we could have got a sitter, and I could have gone with her. Saturday we spent the day together as a family, grilling dinner, etc. Another nice day capped off with W asking if the DVR had anything taped we could watch together. Sunday, after Mass we all 4 washed the two cars, and then went to a bar-b-que at S5's scoutmaster's home to discuss the coming year. At one point scoutmaster requested volunteers, to which W said to me that we could both volunteer, she for the treasurer's spot, me as a den leader. She did go out Sunday night, I watched a movie and went to bed. Something felt different this weekend. She seemed to be making an effort, or at least letting old habits come through. Playful poking at my ribs to remind me of something, leaning in to whisper in my ear about the crazy lady at the bar-b-que, even talking about the party or dinner we should have for my upcoming 40th birthday. I saw a bit of the woman I married. OK, now for a request for advice. Our 10 year anniversary is in 3 weeks. Any ideas on how to approach this? Should I acknowledge it at all? Make reservations at our traditional anniversary dinner restaurant? Cards, flowers, phone calls? Thanks!
