Today was quiet - which after yesterday, was kind of nice. Got things done around the house, read (all leisure reading - I felt I needed a little break from marriage / self improvement after yesterday), watched football, had a nice fire at night.

I still can't say I feel super great about yesterday. My supportive friends and family all agree it was necessary - even HER family said it was necessary - but it sure doesnt feel like keeping the road home open and paved. Of course I guess it wouldnt help to have houses foreclosed, clearance suspended, credit ruined and all that.

Her mom said not only that she thought I should have done it sooner - and then THANKED me for being there for her (my wife). MIL said "I KNEW you'd be a great addition to the family."
