Thanks WCW & Piglet!

I am having the most amazing day . This much good news doesn't fall on a person's head more than once ever 5 years!

I work at a university and I'm a staff advisor for a rowing club just starting out. Today high level employee of the nation's biggest boat builder just called to say that he is from this area and was so excited to here that a club is starting up here. He said he'll do what ever he can for us!

And I made an offer on the house and it was the first offer (they are expecting another offer to come in later today). I'll know by Sunday. It wasn't a very high offer, but I'm hoping they atleast come back with a reasonable counter offer.

Whew! I'll have to remember this feeling and remenisc on it later.

Besides making it clear that he wants us to live together again there were some things in H's email this morning that really stuck with me.

He said, "I know that we have some things to talk about and me making things right may take some time but I do want a future with you." This is the first indication I've ever gotten that he might be acknowleding his part in the separation. I can only speculate about what he means by "me making things right," but for now I'll let myself just love how different that sounds than "we have no future."

He also said "I don't know what gave you the impression that I didn't want to live with you until I retire." Well, I'm ECSTATIC to hear that my assumption was dead wrong. But, honestly, when he says infront of me and his mother that he's going to be out of S's life for the next 5 years, what am I to think? I guess sometimes H throws around words just because. But other times he seems to be so careful with them.

I am so happy we've finally broken this plateau. And one thing about being so far apart is that it's not as easy for me to screw up and get too excited too soon. I hope we do get to talk about "some things." But, I know I'll have to bring it up. The problem is knowing when it's time to bring it up and when it's pushing. But, that's worrying about problems before they happen again. We may not need to have any of those talks until it's time to move again.
