H and I had a great weekend! I love weekends when we get to spend some time together!
Positives from weekend:
1.We went out to eat on Sat afternoon, in between games of his softball tournament. Some how we got started talking about the weekend coming up, when we are going home and H asked me what my plans were. I told him on Sat when we get there, Im going to sleep a bit and then drive to my famlies house and stay with them until Tuesday or Wednesday. He then said, "so when I come, am I staying til Tuesday or what?" (1st positive, he said hes coming down for the 4th!!) Then I said, "its up to you, you can just stay for the day on Monday if you want, its totally up to you. I just appreciate you coming on that day!"
2. H mentioned that when we are home, we should go bowling with his sister and BIL sometime when we are there!!
3. H was very considerate of my needs and my feelings when we were at the softball tournament. I didnt know anybody, so sat by myself when H was playing, which in past years would have bothered me, but this time I was fine with it. He even mentioned, "Im sorry you dont know anybody." To which I replied, "thats ok, some of the SO talked to me a little bit." Showed him a little more of my new independent side.
4. I was talking about all the stuff I want to get done before we leave on Friday and he said, "make me a list of stuff you want me to do." I sure will!! Its so nice that he helps out with stuff now, w/ out me even having to ask!
5. I brought up my sister and BIL (BIL has been away at guards since end of March and sister home alone with 2 small girls) (Also BIL was one to confront H on his EA and tell him he needed to decide what he was going to do, becuz he wasnt being fair to me --this was last summer some time, so H and BIL have not seen each other since then...)ANYWAYS....H actually talked about them, usually he would not say anything or just listen and then change subject. But this time he actually participated in the conversation.
Im sure there are plenty more...but these are the ones that stuck out the most in my mind! I just feel so good. I remember back when we planned this long trip back home, I was kind of nervous...plus thought H and I would not see each other the whole time! But now hes coming to spend time with my family (my brothers like H a lot and like when he comes), wants us to do something with his sister and BIL AND he invited me to his HS reunion!! WOO HOO!!
OMG-- One of the most important things I forgot to post!! I have been doing South Beach Diet thing..kind of, just trying to stay away from starchy carbs and I did really well last week, lost 4 lbs! Well, last night we got breaded chix from BK and I said, " I can eat the fries, I didnt eat too bad this past week." And H replied, "You did very good with eating last week. Good job!" WOW. WOW. WOW!!! A compliment for ME!!!
