Things are started to look up with me and Shrek. I stayed in Villa Nueva with him for two weeks and just got in yesterday.

I didn't talk to my husband about my plan until we were on our way to Xela again... He came up with me to spend a week or two because I have a volunteer job coming up and he has to watch Novali. Anyways...

Last night when we got here we he started to talk about his plan. I was shocked! He actually made a plan for our future... I'm not joking when I say this, but this is the first time he ever made a plan since we've been together, even our wedding was planned in two days since he kept saying 'we'll talk about it later'.

I'm so happy!! ...oh yeah, and the plan includes us living here in Xela.

Now his mother wants to kill me. Every time Shrek left me alone with her she started on me; "You're not good enough for him," or "He won't accomplish anything with you around," and even "Without me around, y'all won't last".

She insulted me with everything she could, and even said how much she wished sherk had married his ex-girlfriend... who actually cheated on him with his best friend (the husband of her bestfriend - soap opera anyone?). After awhile I got up the nerve and began to talk back, keeping things fairly respectful, of course, but reminding my MIL that I love her son and that I deserve a bit of respect.

So that's how things are going with me... I don't really give a darn about how mother in law treats me so long as she is good to Novali. I'm so happy that Shrek is being so wonderful though, and I still can't believe he made plans!!

...sorry, wrote another book..
