Hey all, thanks for checking in. I've been on a business trip since last Wednesday and have been pretty busy. I'm heading back home today.

W and I have kept in good contact while I've been gone and she has even asked my assistance writing up a summary of herself for the modeling competition she wants to enter (I think I mentioned this before about her doing this). It could only be 150 words and basically asks to tell about herself and why she is entering the competition. Tomorrow is the deadline so I got it to her yesterday. She is now having a friend who works in PR to review it as well.

We continue to play "Words with Friends" every day which is a very low-stress way to interact in a fun way. I won the first 2 games and now she's kicking my butt on the 3rd. In a funny way, this is a good sign. We use to play cards a lot when we were first together. She ALWAYS won. The only time I can remember winning was when she was mad at me and distracted. So the fact that she is winning the 3rd game is a positive sign to me in a funny way.

Tomorrow is my birthday. She had originally planned to do something for me last weekend but my trip came up. No idea what we will be doing but its nice that she planned something.

This is the last week of school for the kids. Next week my S13 is going on a trip with church and D10 is going to the beach with a friend and her family. So W and I will have at least 3 days at home with just us. This makes me nervous only because we've not had time alone together in a very long time. I do need to talk to her about this and just get some sort of gameplan together so its not awkward the entire time. It could be a good opportunity to sort of "date" for a few days. But I won't force anything beyond what she is comfortable with.

I will make some suggestions but will have no expectations that she will agree. So we'll see what life is like at home after a week away.
