Maria - take it slow. He is coming around. What is the alternative? Getting a divorce does not sound like you will be happy.
The dinner date was good - I really like her and I sense she has similar feelings. We have another date this Thursday and she has a gift card for it so I must be doing something right.
I am taking the kids to the coast (Pacific City) for 3 nights in a cozy cabin on Memorial Day weekend. There are lots of bunny rabbits on the property, an indoor pool, a huge sand hill for sleding down and there is a rocky beach nearby with agates for replenishing our rock tumbler. When I am in that area, I always seem to stop in the Tillamook Cheese Factory for cheese curds/ice cream cones for the kids and the Tillamook Country Smoker for quality jerky and pepperoni. Good stuff. Opps, gotta watch my protein intake as my gout is getting better.
Then the following weekend before my big birthday I am "kid free". What is a fella to do?
