Had to laugh about jumping H's bones. Used to be one of our jokes, but obviously not lately.
Had a few down moments last night when H said he had talked to his parents and we will be staying at the lake cottage instead of hotel. Couldn't believe it - what a bummer - for sure MIL will put us in that room with the twin beds ! She always does. The last time we were there and she tried to put us in there, H knew I would be annoyed so even he asked why can't we stay in room with double bed. Her response was so weird - like Oh it never occurred to her and we could if we wanted to make up the sheets ourselves, as if she couldn't understand why we wanted to!? I just can't imagine my parents making a married couple sleep in twin beds when a room with a double is available. In fact when I was younger, I had to sleep on the floor in the Living Room so my married brother and wife could sleep in my double bed. I'm just hoping H didn't arrange this to avoid sharing hotel room.
So I guess my parents are my last hope for this vacation. There is no way they will be expecting us to be in separate bedrooms, and I'm hoping H doesn't have the nerve to ask to do so. I may have to put my foot down at that point. Either way, after he surprised me by staying in the other room when MIL/FIL visited here, I'm going to make sure I don't get any expectations.
It's still limbo although very friendly and pleasant, and often fun. When we were walking through mall earlier, all I could think was that we would have been holding hands before. Now I have to stop myself from reaching for his hand. It's a long road ahead, but I'm grateful to be where we are now.
I keep reminding myself that my most recently fulfilled goal was on my list for over 7 mos, and all of a sudden it happened out of the blue. So, that makes me more optimistic about other goals that haven't seen progress.
