I'm really looking forward to our time together Friday night. I lined up a sitter and figured we could go to a new Asian place for dinner that my wife has been wanting to try and then I got tickets for a comedy club after dinner. the only thing I'm expecting is for us to have a good time. I'm thinking with a comedian and a couple drinks....a little fun is almost mandatory lol

just a side not, it is REALLY REALLY hard to NOT tell her I love her, to NOT hold her hand, to NOT hug and kiss her, etc.

I used to text her every morning first thing when I knew she was getting up for work, but have only done it once in the past week and half.

for now, i just ask her how her day was at work when she gets home. in the past when she would say "it was work" or " ok", I would inquire and say "what exciting things happened" or " why was it just OK" and try to keep the conversation going. Now I just ask how her day was and if she has a short answer, I just nod and continue doing what I was doing. if she starts telling me about her day, I stop and listen while looking her in the eyes and it's usually something funny we can laugh at and then I validate why it was funny to her OR why it bothered her.

she seems pretty relaxed when talking about work, so I guess it's a good start.
