Really good day yesterday and today. I was a little worried how it would go because my folks came to visit. W said she was a little uncomfortable yesterday and didn't want me to leave to run to the store when she got home. I said okay. After about an hour or two we were getting ready for dinner and we realized we needed salad dressing. I quietly offered to go to the store if she was comfortable. She said she was without any hesitation. We had a nice dinner and hung out with my folks for a while after the kids went to bed. Neither of us could sleep well. This led to a good deal of cuddling and gentle touches on the arms and back. Very affectionate.

This morning we got up slowly and she was being a little playful (smacked my but a few times) while we got ready for a run. She seemed to enjoy being out on the run together. We came home and hung out for a bit then went shopping for clothes and furniture for our deck. We had a really nice lunch while we were out. Lots of laughing and chit-chat. We hung out with my folks until after midnight just sitting around talking and enjoying the new furniture. I know this is just beginning and that we have a LONG road ahead of us, but I can't help but feel hopeful. I am gaining in confidence and I think she is responding.

It's all about baby steps and we have a monumental journey ahead of us, but forward progress is always great. I am planning on reading at least DB before vacation. Hopefully I can have a plan in place to keep things going forward.
