DH and I spent this past week together on the road - I think it was Mel who said we would love it. And, we did.

It should be a few weeks until he's off the road and I'm working from home a few days a week.

We also set a date for our wedding - April 27th. I'm really excited to be having a wedding, in the church, and we're having fun planning it. No Bridezilla here. My parents aren't involved, but his mom is helping me out and we are like kids in a candy store with the wedding dress! My best friend is the Maid of Honor, his BIL is the best man, our Niece and Nephew are the flower girl and ring bearer. We'll have about 30 guests, unless all of my family from Cali shows up, then we'll have about 60. Our church will easily hold 400. LOL

I am so very excited to share a life with my DH.

So tonight we are seperated. DH had to go back to NC to take care of some loose ends and he'll be gone tonight and maybe tomorrow night. It's really shocking to me that we had planned for him to come home on Friday and when I talked to him tonight he said he'd be home tomorrow, he hates being apart. BIG change!

I have tried to elimiated my LB. I am bad about SD and DJ. I think I'm doing really well. DH has done really well with his AOs and hasn't had many in the last year.

Prior to moving I was failing miserably at meeting his needs for DS. Since we moved I've stepped up and I'm meeting that need well. I'm cooking, cleaning, and taking care of our house. He's found a better job and is meeting my need for FS.

We are rereading the books and redoing the questionarres this weekend and we are managing 20 hours of UA time now. It's totally amazing. Really amazing.

I'm madly in love with the best man ever.

Why the change for him to not be home?

It's just for one or two nights to take care of some things in NC.

We moved from NC to Ohio and still own a house in NC and have family. There is some legal paperwork he had to take care of with a family member down there and he's not yet working in Ohio. So, it's a run down to the old residence, pick up stuff, take care of some legal stuff, and come home.

This had to be done on a weekday and I didn't want to take two days off to drive 10 hours down after work, do what we needed to do, and turn around and drive home.

He's no longer working on the road and will be home all the time now. In fact, he's had 3 job interviews up here for local jobs and should have a job next week.

I just wanted to say that being together every night has improved our relationship so much.

It is amazing, I love it, we're both so happy. We are meeting each other's needs, eliminated most of our LBs, and I couldn't be happier.

DH and I have been really married for 2 months now, when I remember I'll post some wedding photos. I think our wedding was perfect, if it wasn't I didn't notice. The dress fit me, the food was great, and I we got married - nothing else was important to me! I was NOT bridezilla, I was bride don't care.

And, since January we haven't spent a night apart. Yayaya! Finally! It's great.

And, we're consistently getting in 15 hours of UA time, 6 - 8 at home and at least one night out. We don't have kids in the house and we're really homebodies. Through the week after work we don't enjoy being out of the house, so I'll cook a nice dinner and we'll play cards or sit and talk on the deck, or go for a walk, or play with the pony.

I have a porn blocker on our router that I have the password for, but since we had that issue he hasn't used his personal PC because it has a virus and won't connect to the internet. The PC also has a keylogger on it and a blocker. We only use our work PCs and I have a smart phone.

We have redone our Emotional Needs questionare recently and they've changed a little bit on both sides. My needs haven't changed much - SF, Conversation, Affection, and RC are my top 4, but DH's have changed to be Affection, Conversation, RC, and Family commitment. SF is 5th or 6th. And, RH has slipped down the list now that he feels safer with me.

My biggest issue is I'm a control freak and I think that falls into the SD and DJ. That's my struggle. DH hasn't had an AO in 4 months. At all.

I listen to the radio show everyday now, too. Since I finally joined the 21st century and have an Iphone! LOL

One thing I count myself very blessed for is we have shared hobbies - the performance cars for one (I'm old school V8 and DH is a tuner guy, but we have 4 cars now - old school v8 truck 600hp to the wheels (mine), 4cyl turbo Cobalt SS (his), 4 cyl Supercharged Cobalt SS (mine), and Mustang that is being built and will be a v6 turboed so not a tuner and not a pure power, but an odd ball car) and ballroom dancing. The horse we still have is more of a shared hobby, but we don't do anything with her other than treat her like the family dog. We've also picked up some video games we play together. And, we've started cooking together. And, learning about beer and wine together, that's for his job, but I'm interested in it as well for my personal information.

Life is good in our house. Very good!

Congrats, viscountess !

thanks for the wonderful update.
