YAH
You bring up a good point while schanarchs descriptions seem mild, for a while our openness was not. We did these things but had a hard time discussing them. So that is definitely a step forward.

Log entry: yesterday was nice, we did a lot of packing and sorting. What made it extra nice was the fact we did it together, and reminisced about good memories while doing it. For the longest time I was afraid that packing would be us separating our things. To pack together towards a common goal and then remember the happy times was nice.

The only issue we ran across was that she asked to borrow my phone, and I wouldn't let her see it. The reason was because I have been hunting down a rare stuffed animal for her, and if she opened the browser she would have seen right away and ruined the surprise. So I told her I couldn't because I was planning a surprise. She was weirded out by that, I felt real guilty considering all I had said about honesty, so a few minutes later I gave her my phone, and showed her the "incriminating evidence". I apologized for being so secretive, and she seemed happy about the surprise. (it should arrive to the house before the move date). I just hope this little event didn't do too much damage.

Feel like I have to work extra hard today, even though she does not seem mad at all. It was nice to go over our old memories and remember the good times.
