All is well. My W and I will be attending our 5th Retrovaille post session tomorrow. It seems to help keep our M/R centered, especially when we face some of are more challenging times. We missed the last post session, as I was the best man for a friend wedding in Vegas.
The trip to Vegas gave us an opportunity to spend some much needed quality time together, which is undoubtedly the biggest challenge with our busy schedules. We got to see some of our friends while there.
I'll share something that I found to be a nice change. On Friday evening during our visit, we met a few friends at a central location. We lived there for 14 years, so this made it easier on us. My W and I had discussed watching the movie Flight later in the evening. While visiting with friends, her girlfriends talked about going dancing and I assumed we were joining them. To my surprise, my W let them know that we planned on watching a movie together. It's something small, yet so big to me.
We have our disagreements. As a matter of fact, we had a disagreement last night. Our S6 was running a low grade fever. When she got home, she immediately assumed that I would be taking today off. I thought that it was better for her to take the day off.
She just started a new job last week, so she has a valid point. My stance is that I have a deadline and I'm the breadwinner....granted, I only said that I needed to get some things out that are very important. As we were talking, we agreed to meet in the middle and compromise. I'd work half day and she'd work the other half. As I put more thought into the sitch, I remember her complaint about me minimizing her worth. I decided to stay home for the whole day. It appears to have made a difference.
As for our children, they have transitioned back to the Bay Area extremely well. We were very fortunate to have been assigned two great teachers.
As I said earlier, the biggest challenge is that we don't spend enough time together alone. It is something that we are working to overcome.
Hey LITB! Glad to hear things are going well overall! As we've discussed before, it sounds like you and I are experiencing similar stuff.
