This evening was the most interesting part of my day. My W texts about 6:30 tonight about how we're going to handle Thanksgiving. I was legitimately very busy tonight, so it was a couple of hours before I was able to get back to her. I just texted her back and asked if I could give her a call later.
I had a "Thanksgathering" tonight with my church. We had kind of an informal mini-worship service with dessert, coffee and fellowship following. I drug my S along for this, kicking and screaming, but he was all right by the end of the evening. I really enjoyed talking to people at the end. It's like my inner social butterfly has come out of its coccoon.
I get home and about 3 hours after my W's initial text, I'm able to call her back. It turned out to be one of the longer phone conversations we've had in awhile. She's not feeling well and I expressed my empathy. We talked about her job and some of her concerns about some the shady clientele at the apartment complex she's working at. She then threw out how she's feeling the need to be closer to her family and how she has it all figured out. She was suggesting she would move closer to her parents and sister (about 40 minutes away from me) and how I would move to city closer to where I work. (which would in turn put her 20-25 minutes away instead) Everything would just be peachy then! Seriously?!?!? I really like the area of town where I live - so I am going to move to a part of town where I really don't want to live or may not reasonably be able to affort to live and she doesn't want to be M'd to me? I tried not to let it upset me too much.
Anyway, we got on the topic of Thanksgiving, how it was going to work with my S, and we pretty much got it worked out. That was a perfect segway for me, however, to tell her that BTW. I am hosting a football party at my house on that following Sunday. She was floored. I even read to her from the church program from last Sunday so she'd believe me. I went on to tell her about about couple of positve divine interventions that I've felt have occurred recently in regards to two upcoming mission trips. I also told her what I was doing tonight. She just left the conversation telling me she was glad things were working out so well for me. I just replied with "yep-there's definitely some amazing things happening.
Later on - a little bit of a downer. My S mentioned he wished he could both parents every day. He asked if W has taken her maiden name back. I told him we're still married and he seemed a bit surprised. He mentioned W has been talking a little more about D recently.
