Just an update

Things have calmed down a bit in my life for right now.

Robert and I have been talking a lot and taking things slowly. We are going to really give this relationship thing a try. Robert is committed to staying here and he is the one I really want to be with. He is not pushing me to make any decisions that I'm not ready to make and we both know that making a relationship work, will take work from both of us.

Ray is not taking this too well. As in, he just doesn't understand how this could have happened so quickly. I've told him this is someone that I've known for a long time and we probably should have tried a serious relationship a long time ago. He keeps thinking that he was just a fill in for Robert and maybe in a way he was but, I had no idea what was going on with Robert. The other thing was, Ray and I had a purely physical relationship.
There are too many things that I can come up with that makes up non-relationship material. He doesn't take me seriously when I try to tell him what some of these things are. He says he hears me, but he obviously doesn't listen.
Ray still thinks that we are going to have sex even though I am committed to building a relationship with Robert. It just isn't going to happen. He is only fooling himself.

The appraisal on the house is being done on Tuesday and I should have the report on Wednesday or Thursday by fax and they will also mail me a hard copy. I'll have to review this wilth my lawyer and then make an offer to my sister for an amount that is acceptable to buy me out. We may need to go back and forth a little but if we can't come to an agreement, the only option left will be court. Something I'm not looking forward to at all. It is in everyone's best interest to come to an agreement on an amount and to stay out of court.

I think I'm all caught up on what is currently happening in my life or at least what is most important right now. I know there are other things that need to be addressed but they seem to be on the back burner right now.
