Hey Ms. Pam! thanks for the greeting! Nice to see you out and about!

Well...my weekend was great! Hooray for the Patriots!!!

I met h in town on Friday night and we went out to dinner. He was really drained -- had had a SUPER long day -- so we just relaxed!

Saturday we were both doing other things (him studying, me out with Mom and sis). I met him at school and gave him a ride home. We decided to have a relaxing night -- take out and a movie. Finally watched "Finding Nemo"!

Sunday we STUDIED. Whew! I am SO IMPRESSED with my h and his dedication. He is an inspiration to me! We each got quite a bit done...then off to a Superbowl party. h made some awesome nachos which were the hit of the party!

At one point during the night it just struck me how different things are now...SO MUCH FOR THE BETTER! Every aspect of our M. has improved.

Today is off to a terrific start! h called to let me know that our insurance company had called about something...I thought he was calling to ask me to take care of it but HE had already done it. THIS is a perfect example of how different things are now...a few years ago, I would have "had" to take care of it...

h just also bounced the idea of switching to full time school or maybe even switching to a different school full time (the school he's at has the best evening program in our area but is probably 3rd in terms of full time). it is AMAZING to me how much he loves law school! I love how happy he is!

Positives:
1. h told me on Saturday a list of reasons why he loves me. it was spontaneous and heartfelt. The stuff he said really touched me...a lot about how versatile I am (can be comfortable being relaxed or dressed up, can talk with anyone, etc) and lots about how supportive I've been. I'm not sure what prompted the list although it MAY have been a sensitive response to the fact that I was feeling a little closed off since h had spent the day with his study partner...just a whole bunch of reassurance from h!

2. The party last night was with "the group" that ow used to be part of...at one point last night I was really able to see how many ways I've changed in the last 2 years...working really hard on myself, letting go of attachments and ASSumptions, etc. I'm still very much a work in progress but I really think that DB'ing has helped me grow a great deal.

3. I'm just really happy right now...I think I've just reached another level where I can relax a bit more, take some delight in how far we've come. I feel like we're pulling together and I LIKE IT!
