A couple other items as I am journaling.

When she was on her girl's trip last weekend, I worked REALLY hard around the house, especially Sunday. She hadn't said much but during our ride yesterday made a point of saying how much she had noticed that and how nice it was. She was very specific on the things she noticed and I was surprised at the thought she had put into that. I really appreciated that and let her know.

Also, I made a point of making sure she got a sitter for Saturday night so we could go out for a nice dinner together. She did and what I was really pleased about is that there is a really fun music fest in our town this weekend and I know her best friend wanted the four of us to go together. She didn't even bring it up and said how excited she is for dinner together.

Two things I am really happy about. Manage expectations, manage expectations, manage expectations...
