Thank you so much for the wondeful comments. I am sorry that I did not reply sooner, but I do not have internet access over the weekend, so I had to wait until this morning! Bobbi

Hi Brenda :-) I'm glad you have some time to look through all your wedding photos and enjoy them now. So great that there are these uplifting and happy times along the way, isn't it? Your daughter's dress was so beautiful! I love that photo of the six of you. Such happy looking newlyweds! And the photo right under it, they look relaxed and content. My favorite has to be the two of DD in her socks. Sad and happy at the same time, that they are all grown up. Congratulations!

Thanks All :~) Terriks: My tote has a strap handle that slipped over the wheeled carry-on's handle, but the tote kept slipping off sideways. The bungee cord Chickadee mentioned would probably have made things easier. I'll remember that next time. Thank you! Lynn

I just also want to add that in the morning after I calmly told him that it's upsetting to me that he's keeping track of our fights for the future, he told me that he was mad at me for "picking the fight" and "wanted to burst in a fight but decided against it because he loves me". In his opinion I just picked another fight by asking calmly if he was keeping record (because I found him holding his phone during our argument and him screaming "don't hurt the kids" to a committed mama like myself, as if recording, suspicious). And then I found out about journaling for the last year. To me that is invalidation of the feeling. He's saying he's mad at me for being upset with him, but because he loves me he forgives me for having that feeling. He he also keeps saying that if he wanted a divorce, he'd not survive through all the crap I make him deal with (not sure what that means) and he'd just leave.
