update:
Wednesday night out with the girls was so much fun. We laughed, talked, joked, drank a few adult beverages and had a blast. The thing I love most about going out with the girls is that we can talk about all the things in our life. Major things such as "R's" and minor things like clothes and makeup.
This little halo needs a break from an exhausting weekend! I ate too much food, I really missed all the food they have at XH's family functions so I had my fill.
His family was so pleasant to me. The all told me how much they missed me and how great it was to see us back together.
I didn’t miss a beat, I took Wiley’s words to heart and had no hesitation or nervousness about being around them, I acted as thought I had done this a million times and it worked out well. It was a really great day.

His Grandmother told me that she thought about me often and she didn't like that other girl. I smiled inside!!! His grandfather died 12/02, his GMthr told me she wished Grandpa was here to see me; it would have made him so happy. His gfthr and I had a special relationship, he loved me and thought I hung the moon; I always thought he was a special man and looked up to him like he was my own gfthr.
On our way back to his house he thanked me for going with him and for being me. We had a heart to heart about his R with OW and my past R's. One thing I found odd was that he told me that he "used" Ow. He told me that he never loved her or really ever cared for her, he just knew she would always be around; he didn’t want to be alone. I validated as much as I could.
IMO I believe Xh has a low self esteem, he frequently asks me why I would be with a man like him. That I am so beautiful and why would I settle for him when I could have any man I wanted. My response to this is always the same... Thank you for the compliment, you are right, I can and that's why we are together. I then tell him he is very sexy and I am incredibly attracted to him. So is it a low self-esteem or is he just fishing for compliments? I know women do this but do men do it as well??

I tried not to give too much information about my past R's. Did not lie to him but did not give up too much info that could be harmful right now. He told me several times that he was glad we could talk about these things.
Xh stated he was kind of glad we both have places of our own vs jumping into building our R & living together at the same time. He is as pleased as I am about the opportunity we have to take our time and get to know eachother again. We both agreed it also sucks but for the most part its a good thing. He told me that he misses me when we are not together. Hurray!!!
I NEVER ask questions about Ow! He tells me more than I need to know. She is planning on moving with her new fiance when he gets home from Iraq in September. I guess this means she is going to get on the ball with helping to fix up their house & yard so they can sell it quickly.

No solicitors have called Xh selling viagra for a couple of weekends now!

Update on the house we made an offer on. We got out bid by 3900.00. Oh well, that just means there is another house out there made for us!

Have a wonderful week and I hope all of you had a fabulous Easter weekend.
Hugs and prayers


Halo Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
