Not much has changed, but things are clarified

My husband visited last weekend, to spend Halloween with the baby (as it's his favorite holiday). On his first day here, he and I were able to have a very good long talk while our daughter obligingly napped for three hours. We each know where the other is coming from now, and so all there is to be done is getting the paperwork going, which he is keen to do, "so it doesn't drag out." There is still the issue of our paperwork-doer needing to be paid, though, so we shall see. I plan to speak with the man who mediated my parents' divorce, as they have always spoken well of him and how smoothly he made the process go for them.

*deep breath* So this is really going to get done. I actually feel relieved and somewhat empowered. I haven't felt so at ease with a choice of this magnitude in a long time (no, not even getting married in the first place felt this right).
