Hey Cathy and nitaf,

Cathy - I am looking forward to winter already. H had me get estimate to remove some trees out back - which would let me make the skating rink about 60 x 50 feet. Wohoo!

I think I am psyched about it because my D9 is in a hockey class this week and she enjoys it so much. Plus I want to skate more and may even start to play hockey again myself.

My S6 will start to play this fall too. S3 will just skate some more this year. And H pulled out his skates so who knows - he may skate again too.

nitaf - My H doesn't talk about why he left - I am sure he feels like the reasons he gave me at the time were valid, although I am not quite so sure. They were pretty lame things - but probably all he could verbalize at the time.

He hasn't said anything about why he came home, but his actions continue to speak volumes. His tone of voice, etc, has also changed for the better. And is almost daily - man do I feel old sometimes! LOL!

Other than asking him about the cards that I found from an OW (EA), I haven't said much. I told him I would ask things as they seemed relevant - and so far I have let our actions speak for both of us. It may be that I rarely ask anything - I am playing it by ear.

I'll be sure to journal here as things continue. My H is someone who doesn't talk about feelings very well but I can tell how he is feeling towards me and it is good.

And, I should mention, that the other night after the kids and I returned from up north, my H initiated some and in the midst of it said "I missed you". This is something that I haven't heard for a long time and the way he said it, it felt like it was for more than those three days - but could have applied to the prior nine months or more. Do you get what I mean?

Anyway, I let the little nuances speak for themselves. They say alot about our R.

Thanks for checking in and for the support!
