JJ,

Thanks for the reply, and yeah I plan to not bring it up and let her start that conversation.

She just left here and we had a great time. She came over last night around 11:30 and I was in bed already. She was frustrated because her meds froze out in her van. She even said "my life's a mess, and I should have just left them here". She then was a bit down because she had left thing out in the van that needed to be brought in, so I offered to get out of bed get dressed and get them. She thanked me and even hugged and kissed me and said ILY before I did.

We sat around for about an hour talking until we went to bed. In bed we watched TV for a while, and she even rubbed my side while laying there. It was so nice I she initiated it. She let me hold her during the night, and let me kiss her goodnight. Its so great to have her stay here.

In the morning we woke up and hung out listening to music and talking. She then made me breakfast, and I helped her get it together. We had a nice breakfast, and I thanked her for making it. We then did her laundry (she brought over a garbage bag worth of clothes).

After I showered and walked in to get dressed, she stopped me and looked at my butt to check me out because of the weight I lost. She even said it made her a bit crazy to see me walking through the house. She even took a picture of me! She asked if sometime she could draw a sexy pic of me, and I said it would be fun to do together.

Then after her shower, while she was getting ready, she let me look at her and said she didn't mind it. Then when I was in her room, she asked me to rub lotion on her, and let me over most of her body. It was the most intimate we have been for a while. We thanked each other and even said it would be a fun ritual.

We then talked more while I folded her clothes. I got her out a suitcase and put her clothes in there, and told her I didn't want her dragging stuff around in garbage bags that my W deserved better. We then took more pictures of each other and a few together. We also talked about building a chopper in the future and even getting tattoos together with a same symbols like Chinese husband and wife or R and A.

When she left we thanked each other for the great time, and she even mentioned she might come by again tonight. I told her I hoped she would, but would be alright if she didn't. She hugged me at her van and let me kiss her good bye. I said ILY, she said I know, and then ILY2, and I said I know.

It was a great time and gets better each time. She initiated most of the hugs and kisses (not passionate yet but maybe soon). And when I touched her leg, she would hold my hand and even look at me, and then hug and kiss me.

Its going good, and I think I didn't bring up coming home either. May have slipped, but only as "I like it when your here" which she always agreed, and she agrees this is going well.

Other things was she shared more about her friends, and mostly about their troubles and hers living out of a sack. It really the first she has talked a length about her new friends. I even offered to help the Guy she is staying with who both his vehicles broke down. She really appreciated the offer of help.

There has been so many babysteps this week and I have a really high PMA because of it. And I was fine if she didn't call or come over last night, and I feel it will be the same tonight. I do have a hunch she will come over tonight or tomorrow night tho. She even left her suit case of washed clothes here. She told me she was going to, and I asked if she had other clothes. She said she has a few other bags there. But I think leaving stuff here was a good sign also. Kinda like moving a little bit back in.

I staying cool and easy and taking her lead. And I feel its paying of big time. Last other neat thing was I said I need to get my wedding ring resized because of the weight loss. I said I was going to when she put hers back on, because I didn't want to not have a ring on. She said we should get me a ring temporary when we get it done. I feel that she wants it on me too.

God Bless You, Reuben Cautiously hopeful and keeping the Momentum
