Had a great time at D's preschool graduation. She is seriously the cutest kid ever!!! Got the 'Friends Forever" award because of her fierce loyalty to all her friends :-)

Had only one tough moment tonight where H's stepmom took a picture and I was NOT included...but I toughed it out ok.

H is so warming to me, he even winked at me. We took all the kids (including H's older kids) out to dinner. H and I sat next to each other and once again just chatted and chatted like we were on a date.

I have been so humbled by my stepkids and how they have remained loyal to me through all of this. My SD has even been staying with me. Mostly I'm sure that's because I have a lot of space and her Mom does not but I'm still really happy that she feels comfortable enough to still stay here. Of course they love and are totally loyal to their Dad but I feared they would flat out dump me. But they haven't and I am so, so glad. My stepson's fiancé said that she recently made H talk to her about things and he apparently said "well, I would like if things worked out with MDU"

Tomorrow H and I have a lunch date. Initially we didn't have firm plans but he pulled me aside tonight and asked what time are we going, where, how much time can you get away from work, etc. I wasn't going to initiate, so glad he did

I know I shouldn't get my hopes up but it's really hard not to.
