Positive developments? #2

Thanks! Good day today, last worship planning lunch at church, but the guys said they'd come out and do lunch by my work sometimes. How cool.

More talks with W, she had a little fender bender, but no damage. She helped me buy a new shirt for my sister's wedding this weekend, and figure some more things out.

She told me to not show up to the wedding looking completely like a bachelor. LOL. I think that would take holes in the socks.

Meeting with boss in the morning, then heading to Austin for wedding prep, and the national championship game. Hook 'em! I didn't even think of going downtown until my friend mentioned it today. He said it was crazy four years ago. I've hit San Antonio a couple times after a championship, but my hometown would be even more fun. Can't wait. And a parade here in Dallas next month wouldn't be half bad either...

Congrats on the job! Things really look like they are heading in the right direction for you with job and W.

Going to meet with the boss.

Lunch canceled. We have this crazy thing called ice here in Dallas today, bosses kids are home from school. We'll talk over the phone later. Not ideal, but it'll work.

Breakfast with a good friend, then went to pick my wedding stuff at the dry cleaners. I didn't make the 9:00 AM cutoff yesterday, so not done until 5:00 today. Really? More than 24 hours? This will make it tough to get to Austin. I think I'll swing by at 3:00 and wait in hopes they're early. For now, I get to nap!

Almost all of them send it off site. The convenient little shop around the corner is just a drop off and pick up location with one laundry area and a sewing machine or two.

Guess you'll know for next time.

Jon,

It looks like things are going awesome for you. I am glad to see that. You are really stepping up GALing and your work, etc. Good job man.

Hook em Longhorns. I'll be watching the game also.

See ya Sunday night. Email goes out tonight on where and when. Probably about 6pm Sunday. Should be about 5 of us.

Jon,

I'm so happy that things are going well with job and W. Good for you. How did you get to the point of speaking to her as a friend. I haven't heard from my H for almost 2 weeks. I was the one that almost started the texting or calling and so after an argument 2 days after Christmas and I did apologize I haven't heard from him since. Do you think you could hop over to my thread if you get a chance and offer some advice?

Thanks everyone! I'm tired today, came back from Austin in the night, played at church this morning, planning to go to bed early after meeting Kevin and the guys for sushi.

Got to see a lot of family at my sister's wedding, it was good. No one really knows what to say besides asking if W's headaches are better (nope). I did get some encouragement from Grandpa to continue being patient.

My sister had her rehearsal dinner and reception out in the country near Manor. I enjoyed driving around the town while on errands, and found out that quite a few movies have been filmed there, including Gilbert Grape. Never seen that, need to. This music video also:

The song hit me today. Maybe because I never listened to country before W. I remember when we were dating, thinking if W got pregnant it would have been the end of the world. Looking back, not so much. When W's headaches continued to get worse, it changed everything we had planned and dreamed of. I had and still have a lot of anger about that. But now I just want to take care of her, nothing else.

Glad you had a nice weekend.

I can't open that at work. What song is it?

It's funny what triggers stuff. I still have triggers almost 3 years later. They definitely get better though. I still feel sad sometimes though.
