Needless to say, All is Well!

Man this past weekend flew by and now it is the end of day on TUESDAY! I have been pretty occupied with stuff in office and at home. We both are anticipating the visit of my parents in 2 weeks, prepping the house for parental company & enjoying ourselves too. This past weekend did not play out as expected BUT we were neither diappointed or bored. We relaxed all Friday night after work, cooked left-overs and hung out doing things together around the house. Saturday I did my few errands around town, went to gym for 1 hr and relaxed until Ben arrived home from work. Our plans for Saturday to hang out w/ our former neighbors didn't happen so we decided to make our way over to Ciro's Italian Restaurant in Unversity. We got caught in a terential down pour on the way and we had to pull over til it let up. Needless to say we made the best of that time...wink wink!! Upon our arrival, the rain let up enough for me to scoot into the place and get our table. Let me say, this place is our most favorite restaurant EVER and the owner who walks around playing the accordian to Italian music is such a bonus. We ate the most delicious meal and ended it with Spimone dessert. We took our time and enjoyed the night out (just the two of us) and came back home for some relaxation and intimacy.

Sunday was great, we actually slept in 'til 10am! We were pretty lazy most of the day, cooking breakfast, doing laundry, watching races, catching up on paying bills and then the big project--assembling the bookcase. It didnt take very long & after we had it all put together, I got my statues/knick-knacks and placed them on the top two shelves. The bedroom is really big and we hae plenty of room for more things, eventually a NEW bedroom set w/ dressers/nightstands and headbopard/footboards. I LOVE it. I am anxious to look for a new comforter/bed in a bag set. I want the room to look more put together & add some more pictures. So every weekend I go searching for accessories and etc for the house and room. I absolutely love living where I am now, it is not in the BEST section of town but hey, it is convenient to work for both of us. I am not saying it is a place where I feel unsafe, cause it is safe and gated.

This week will be pretty chill as I see it. We watched WAR of the Worlds on DVD last night when the damn cable went out...Hummm. We cooked some good dinner and relaxed. Tonight, we will probably make it over to the gym after he comes home and make some meatballs and spaghetti for dinner. I plan to catch up onother DVR'd shows and just relax after the gym. I truly enjoy our down time together where we brainstorm and create such a peaceful home for each of us. We no longer fight, argue or cause much conflict; we have changed in so many ways and I am in love w/ my husband more each and every day.
Counseling has been going extremely well and I am making great progress. She has mentioned that I seem more relaxed, calm, comfortable in my body; big change from the first day I saw her. We are working on the trauma (rapes& torment of childhood peers) I have been ignoring and pushing deeper inside of me, without facing it head-on. She feels it will help a lot with my progress and how I view things in my life and mnake better choices too. I noticed I have pushed a lot of the trauma I have experienced deep down so I wouldnt have to face it but nowadays I realize I need to work thru it so it will no longer be that traumatic---thank god for insurance than covers this!!!

Well I am about to leave for the night, have a great night! CIAO...
