Dinner with my coworker and his wife went very well. Definitely one of those experiences where I can say, yes things are getting better. I should hasten to add that I've also learned to expect times when it appears that my H is going out of his way to be hurtful. I do tell him about those experiences but am learning how to 1. not let it throw me and to 2. express myself in increasingly constructive ways.

So we had a very nice time. My H was helpful in getting ready. At one point I asked for help and he couldn't have been nicer about pitching in. For the first time in our married life things were so ready that I got to visit with the company almost as much as he did. This is a very appreciated improvement.

This was one of those moments that you write on the calendar in red and remember on a not so good day. Lots to be very thankful for.
