went to S13's BB game. S11 and S8 were there as well. They both sat with me. W was four bleachers up. Game was fun to watch. I decided to engage W and went up to her and said Hi, how is school, how are you. I told her we'd need to link up sometime to talk about finances and how to best support the family, etc. She took a good look at me all throughout, nodded, didn't say much. And that's OK too!
At one point she glanced at my hand to see if I was wearing my wedding band (I've never taken it off, even after she left). I asked her if she wanted a candy bar. She declined. I said OK, and went back to my seat with the boys. I have the boys this weekend. I'm very happy. I'm glad I engaged W. Opportunity to continue showcasing the new Joel. More to follow.
