30th May (today) Our 9th wedding anniversary. I went over in my head what to do about this & didn't want to go over the top, so I decided on getting a nice personalised card (funky pigeon). I really felt the need to acknowledge the date, but not go overboard - I don't really feel like celebrating the worst year of our marraige either - but (for better or worse and all that - in for the long haul). I'm just going to make a nice dinner & leave it at that.
My W didn't get me a card & just said 'I didn't think we were doing anything this year'. I'm actually fine with her not getting me a card, I really did just want to acknowledge the date.
Woohoo
Sunday - was a good day. Myself, W & kids went round to MIL's for a BBQ. We all had fun & had quite a few beers in the garden. That night me & W broke the unspoken sex ban & didn't do much sleeping (boy was it needed!!).
Last night me & W having fun, enjoying each others company watching TV & playing games with each other on our phones - silly stuff - but it was really cool to just hang out.
Me Stuff
Had a great day yesterday - got my grade back for my dissertation & got a 1st!! - just 2 more marks & then I'll know what degree class I have got. So happy considering I could barely put a sentence together for 2 months after the bomb.
Had my last IC session yesterday & my counsellor was saying that he couldn't get over how I'd changed over the last 8 weeks & that I was so much more assertive, self aware & happy now. I do feel all these things but it's always nice to hear it from someone else.
9 days until Florida!!!
Lots to be happy about - I'll keep you posted on how the rest of the anniversary goes.
No expectations, No pressure, just a home cooked family dinner at home.
