Good news: My husband just called. :) He made this statement: I need to remember you do
well with direction. I need to just give you direction and quit throwing you
through the hoops. Oh my, what a revelation. I do so love my man.

The hoop? Where to spend Dec. vacation. For 9 years I have talked about Australia. That's where I've been planning to take us this Christmas Holiday. Michael was in complete agreement. Then he calls and says he hears that the diving is better in Palau. Pa..what?! I was so upset. I do not change gears well at all!! However, my interest was piked and I began to surf the WEB. Oh my Palau is beautiful. The other thing I learned is you have to stop on Guam to get to Palau. Michael is an Air Force brat and learned to dive on Guam. One of the things he's always talked about off and on throughout the years is taking us to Guam and scuba Diving with us there. Being on the beach with us and grilling wings. So, when I realized this was a doable plan I got excited. I expressed this excitement and plan to him on the phone. Tonight he called and said he'd been thinking and wanted to go to Australia. I got upset. He was only thinking of me. What I said before had sank in and he realized that Australia was something I had wanted to do for a long time. Unfortunately, I had already switched gears and was excited about being able to fulfil one of his dreams as well as being able to vacation in what I would call a dream. Some place that I would have only dreamed to be possible. Once he realized, he backed up. That is when he said that he needed to quit putting me thru hoops. He plainly and clearly stated that he wanted to go to Palau via Guam. Now, I have direction and can move forward toward a goal that will make us all happy. That's my job isn't it?! To please my man?!

I have no idea what kind of sense this does or doesn't make, I do know that the good news is:

My husband loves me!!

Such a simple statement of truth; I just need to give you direction and stick with it. That so works for me!

Okay, so now I need to clean up dinner, freeze the muffins and go to bed.
