Have you ever looked up at the black night sky and tried to spot the first star? I'd equate our relationship to that black, black sky over the last few months, but I think I spotted my first star last night:)
We've known that my H's brother's son had a hockey tournament this weekend for at least 3-4 weeks. The tournament is in the mountains about 2 hrs. from us and runs from Fri.-Sun. We had no plans to go and really weren't invited. We were leaving to drop teenagers off last night and then to go on a date together. My H's brother called at 7:00 p.m. to say that he wanted to come to our house to spend the night; my H actually told him NO and that we had plans for the night. I was speechless...both that his brother would call at that last minute and drive back and forth (2 hrs. each way) for the games AND that my H did say NO. We had a great date last night after that.
Our counselor gave him the task of working on his boundaries with the family and the assignment to initiate sex once a week. She suggested drawing a smiley face and giving it to me on the morning to indicate that he was planning to initiate that night. Well, he gave me a smiley face this morning. What's so cool about telling him to use a smiley face is that I've never received a single card from him that he didn't add a smiley face next to his name.
So, anyway I think I saw that first star and hope to see many more tonight!:)
