AJ, AE, and I spent the weekend camping at Camp Fimfo Waco. Even though more messages had come through and I brought them up with AJ, we still managed to have a good time together.
Of course, it would not be a trip with AE without some sort of incident. At one point he got into a fight with another kid at the campground. Even with that moment, most of the weekend was still enjoyable.
I eventually turned off the device that was receiving the messages so they would stop interrupting what we were trying to do. We were both trying to focus on rebuilding what had been damaged.
Trying to reconnect after an emotional affair is not easy. It takes time, patience, and a lot of difficult conversations, that AJ really does not want to have.
