treehouse! that's great!! i'm so proud of you!!! (i feel like i was holding my breath waiting to hear how it went!)

it sounds like a really great session, and i think you handled everything well and so did he. i'd like to think you're even closer for having gone through all this. but the effects will probably take time. like this will be one of those things you look back on, and say "hey remember when that happened?!" it's funny because i forget which post it was, but someone predicted that his first thought would be "so how'd you like the house?" i think that's funny that that was his reaction. that's a great indication that he's really comfortable with you. and i'm glad you see him tomorrow too.

now you should be able to go and enjoy your vacation.. you deserve it for all your hard work!
