Positive developments? #2

Thanks Kevin! Don't feel like I have it down, I'm still questioning a lot of this. As for the $200, my stance for the past couple years is I'll buy her stuff: a nice hotel weekend, clothes, etc, but I'd rather not send money. I feel like she'll take advantage of it and I want to give her something tangible.

Talked with W a few times this weekend, tried to have fun and go through with my plans, but my power was out until Sunday night. Grrr. Really wished I had gone ahead with the Houston plans, but didn't tell W that.

Did have a great time at church, hadn't played there in 5 months while I was getting paid at another church, and the worship guy said my "chops" were greatly improved by playing so much the last few months. Nice.

I went ahead and sent W flowers, regardless of her e-mail. Got a picture back with "Happy Valentine's Day Lover Boy". So, that's a win. Also, she's calling me "babe" a lot more when we talk. Little things.

Talked to her this morning and FIL is coming over to her apartment to help her start moving stuff into storage. She's also mentioned selling her car and driving the grandparent's, and now puts "a year" timeframe on staying there. I'm just listening and validating, she knows where I stand.
