Hi! yes, I like to cook and H keeps asking when I am going to organize my recipes b/c I can never find what I am looking for!
Last night I got home, greeted him happily, and said, "let's go!" He asked where we were going and I said to my mom's for firewood and to the store for grub. We return, I make din, he builds the fire. Big wet wood won't catch so he goes to the store to buy firewood.
We piled 7 blankets on top of each other in front of the fp. (we have hardwood floor), ate din. I offered to rub his back. He offered to rub mine and I said that I didn't want him to feel like he had to since I rubbed his. He said he wanted to and, well, badda-bing!!! Things is great!
He keeps looking in my eyes, rubbing noses with this huge grin on his face. Yeah baby! Even though he didn't say ILY, I know he was thinking it!!
**What worked** I held on to my goal of having a 6 evening (and had a 15!!) Acted real cool, collected, confident, didn't have "expectations"-ok, I had them in my head, but I didn't ACT like it. I was going to act totally cool if he didn't want to ml. Made a good din-mexican strata
