I feel like I am boring you guys with the mundane, but here goes:
It has been pretty busy around here this week with the kids in swimming lessons and softball wrapping up.
My H and his buddies cut down two of the four trees in our backyard last night. Afterwards they sat outside and chatted, and I joined them. And I actually felt comfortable in doing so. In the past, I felt like I wasn't wanted out there by my H, and last night he included me in the conversation and when his friends were talking - he talked to me.
Things are looking up in the conversation area all around. Another reconnect that is happening and so welcome!
We had already reconnected via ML - and now via conversations. I wonder what reconnect will happen next? Maybe a combo of those two and I will hear ILY again?
My birthday is Saturday and his is a week from Sunday.
I am considering giving him his wedding ring with a card saying that I gave him this almost 13 years ago and would like him to have and wear it again. Any thoughts?
Otherwise I might wait and give it to him on our anniversary in November. He'd have been home 6 months by then.
I am not expecting much for my b-day as I am taking the boys to the annual family golf tourney for my family. We are going out Friday night and coming back Saturday afternoon.
H is finishing up the other two trees with his buddies - they stand 50 ft tall and need to be carefully dropped so they don't hit the house, or swingset, or shed, or...
My D9 is going to a slumber-birthday party for a school friend on Friday night so it is just the boys and I heading to the tournament. Should be fun - I may even golf for the first time in at least 3 or 4 years.
Anyway, for the most part things are going well. I have to remember that the need for patience continues. I would like an ILY and a night out just for us, but can't and won't expect it to happen overnight.
I keep "living AS IF" and leaning on my BB friends when I need to - thanks all!
