Nice Things

My husband has surprised me a few times this weekend. Yesterday after he finished work he went to have a hair cut and visit his brother. As usual, when he got home, I fed and watered him and asked him about his day. How was your brother? Did you talk about anything exciting? etc etc... Like children do, my husband always answers no, until later, tummy full he starts getting chatty!

Turns out he discussed adoption with his brother, asking him if he would ever do it. This is a HUGE step for us. It's showing me that he is properly thinking that this is the way of the future for us. His brother said no that he wouldn't, which isnt surprising given he has 3 children, and I'm pretty certain, doesn't want anymore. G and I talked about this and also how it's also not surprising as given the facts that black/ethnic minorities in britain are less likely to choose adoption than white families.

G surprised me further by then commenting how his brother had said that he wasn't sure he could love someone who had not come from him. Before I could comment, he said to me, "well that was how I used to think" The key words here being used to....

Now if you add this to the fact that my handsome hubby has asked me out for dinner and a movie of my choice, you can see why I am so surprised this weekend!!!!
