So the wife emailed today. Here it is...

W: Did you have a good visit with your family? We went to a few antique stores, but other than that, it was pretty boring.

M: Yeah, my visit was good. Sat my dad and I went to Krista’s house and helped them do some work. They’re basically re-doing everything so when it’s done it’ll be almost like a new house. Krista’s pretty excited. Sat night my mom and I grilled out and Sun I hung out with everyone at my mom’s.
Krista let me borrow her digital piano. I’m going to attempt to learn to play. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I’m a little worried that I’m too old to learn a new instrument though wink.

W: Glad you had a good time. No, you’re not too old to learn! You’ll pick it up quickly, I’m sure.

M: Did you get the 2nd monitor working?

W: Yeah, I think I’m through with it now. I just had to move over some windows that were trying to pop up on the wrong monitor. I’ll bring it back over soon. I ran across your class ring too. I still haven’t made a dent in putting things away. I did buy a plastic shelving unit last night to stick out in the “shed”. That will help a little.

M: I’m sure that once you’re done with organizing everything your apartment will look great.

W: I hope so. I’m still not used to it.

M: I can understand that.


This is pretty standard conversation for us. I want to portray that I'm doing just fine but sometimes I'm afraid to come off as gloating. Should I be perfectly honest if I had a great time doing something or should I keep it to myself a bit?

It was actually nice to hear that she's still not used to her apartment. It's nice because I'm still not used to coming home to an empty house!
