I don't know how to post about what has happened! I am at a loss for words here!

S8, (well s9 now!) had a great time yesterday. Dd24 met us halfway at his second fave place (barnes & noble) and then we went to his fave place (mcd's). Then we went to the park and zoo, he enjoyed it some but it was way too hot (upper 90's) so we decided to go out for dessert (really just wanted water!) and everyone at the restaurant sang 'happy bday' to s9 and he was thrilled!

What I don't know how to explain is about ex yesterday. He contacted me by email first, asking when it would be a good time to call. I emailed him back when we got home.

He apologized for being upset the other night, which I accepted and apologized for my part of that. He wanted to know all about the bday, and asked how dd24 was doing lately! Then he says he is trying to get up here in the next two weeks to see us.

He really sounds sincere about this. We ended up talking for over 2 hours. Some of the convo was over nonessientials, (the weather, he ran into an old acquantance) and then we talked about other issues (c cards, 401k) I told him there was a delay on my taking the 401k since I can't get in touch w/someone at his shop, he said just to email him at work Monday and he will find out what is going on.

He made sure to talk about the trip up over and over, said it may only be for the day - get here early on Saturday morn and head back out on Sunday. And if he can't make it this week, will make it the next. He will let us know by Thurs.

Ok, so I don't know what to think now. I was ready to write him off, he wasn't even being friendly much over s lately, and then yesterday, I see this big turnaround? There was absolutely no tension between us during the entire convo last night! Do I take this as a baby step, or what?

So, I will continue w/Gal today. I really can't explain the difference in ex.
