I figured this deserves a new thread <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm working for part of the day but hope to get out early.

We are going to our vacation house just the 2 of us for the night (kids think we should go for 2 nights!). The are old enough and certainly mature enough (a blessing to us) but we are going to keep it to just 1 night.

DH has agreed to bring his bike and together we are going to see if we can get around the entire lake.

There is a slim chance that golf shirt will come in such that I can present it to him properly <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Storytime: Very often I feel so lonley in this marrage and knowing it is my responsibility to understand why and take action, this is something that I did over the weekend. Historically, if i have to go to work super early, i get up while everyone is sleeping and queitly get ready and slip out. (I feel like an intruder sneaking out, i need to work on changing that feeling.) DH gets up with the kids to see them off to school. If I don't have to leave so early, the kids get up for school but DH no longer gets up since I am there. I still need to queitly get ready while in the bedroom and then not only do i have to think about getting myself out the door, i have to help the kids too. In both cases, i feel like i have no partner. And this occurs 5 days a week.

Over the weekend i said to DH. If i asked you to do something that would help me feel less lonley in the marriage (i have shared with him that i feel lonley in the marriage, sharing a house but not a life) would you do it? He said yes. I have asked him to wake up twice a week (his choice of days) on days when I am not alreaedy gone and start the day with me. He said he can do that. the past 2 days he has and i have thanked him.

P.S. LA, the k-love stations is back, i never heard why it was gone for a couple of days.

P.S.S. I did take the long bike ride I promised myself I would do. I did not go completely around the lake but i was out for 45 min the first day and 1hr the second day.

P.S.S. In honor of my marriage/anniversay I am staying far away from the cr*p that is going on around here, however, next week, i will continue to reflect on it all and continue to try to grow and learn.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Mr. and Mrs. FLT2H!

You sound very positive today, and that makes me happy! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Have a wonderful time...I hope that golf shirt comes in! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

NOW

Thanks NOW! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Another milestone to prove that where there is love and goodwill, a marriage need not be torn asunder by a crisis !

All blessings to you and Mr FLT2H,and I pray that Almighty God will bless you both with quieted spirits and mutually appreciative hearts for a season that you may rediscover what binds you, not what separates you. Amen.

Bike riding together sounds like a blast. We want to start doing that too.

We are going to Savannah tomorrow for a week and hope to spend most of the time there doing physical things outside, instead of our usual hanging out in restaurants and what not the whole time.


As for the drama, well I always find myself in the middle of someone's drama, but I am going to try to not do that anymore. As a little girl my mom and aunts always called me little Sarah Bernhardt, because of all my drama. go figure. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Bob, that was beautiful. thanks!

weaver, bikes will be brought but the weather may not allow it. we will see. no matter what, we are both feeling very up beat today and that is very nice. Have fun in Savannah!!!

Happy Anniversary FL and hubby! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Our 16th is this Saturday. I do remember our dates being close together. Enjoy the alone time <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Happy Anniversary to you, too, Faithful!





NOW

Happy Anniversary!

It's good to see you feeling better! Mrs. RIF and I will have our 21st this coming December... I won't be there but we're planning on celebrating birthdays/anniversary/& Christmas when I go on R&R in January.

Congratulations!!!

RIF

HI FF!!!! thanks and Happy Annivesary to you too.

Thanks RIF. I am feeling better. breathing and relaxing more. and when i can't do that on my own, i do sudoku.

I just heard from DH that he may have to cancel our trip tonight because of a last minute assignment. I told him not to worry, i fully agree work comes first, especially when you are a freelancer, things have been slow for him.

and i told him, it's not a cancel as long as we re-schedule, it's just a postponment.

the trip is still on hold till we hear from the client, but...

the golf shirt is in <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Happy Anniversary FL!!! 21 yrs is quite an accomplishment!

thanks FamilyComesFirst!

Happy Anniversary FL2 and Mr FL2.

You may not sometimes think it but "you've come a long way, baby"

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Jen!

(hey, sometimes i do actually think i've come a long way too. maybe i'm even getting close to that breakthru weaver and others keeps talking about)

Awwww FL... Congratulations to you and your H! I hope you have a wonderful retreat!

~ad

Hi AD!!!!

thanks. the retreat is officially being postponed. but we will still go out to dinner.

hope all is well with you and the family.

Uh-oh, I got caught skimming... sorry about that FL. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I did however read almost word for word of your other current thread. I'm sad, and angry, (though not surprised), for you and others. I thought it best to keep my mouth shut, and just come to this thread instead, and wish you well.

You deserve it!!

~ad

Thanks AD!

dinner out was nice. I made it a point during the dinner to say i was honored to be his wife, because I am.

as for the other stuff, thanks. your decision was a good one.

HA - i love your signature!!! I've been trying to use that word, "annoyed", although others keep saying i was scared in response to being editted, that's just silly!!!

I was scared in response to being edited, FLTH. I'm working towards annoyed, bothered, unphased.

Glad your dinner went well...
