We’re a few days into our week long vacation in New Orleans. This is the first vacation we’ve ever taken for this long!

Happy New Year!

I haven’t written about my relationship in a while. After “the incident” I wanted to shout from the rooftops about my pain. Now that things are getting better, the urge to share has lessened. But I want you to know I’m ok.

Husband and I are working at rebuilding. There were things we both needed to work on, like improved communication and giving the other what he/she wants. He tells me daily he loves me. That’s new. And I get flowers a lot more. That always puts a smile on my face. I’m working to be in tune to what he needs, like my support as he builds a new endeavor.

We’re getting there. But the romance that was there 10 years ago? It’s definitely there. And after it faded away so many years ago (I’m sure many of you can relate) it’s a welcome surprise to find us both getting fluttery stomachs when we see each other again.

Thanks to all of you who have supported me through the last few months. I’m going to make it through!

Today would have been my Dad’s 75th birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad. Sending you some virtual carrot cake.

Love,

Susan
