Reconciling

She's super excited right now because the house purchase is really coming together, the inspector didn't reveal anything horrible and the appraisal came back at $145k which is $13k more than the loan, which is great and I'm excited for her. But then she sends me this text message: "Hey! I just want you to know that I really appreciate everything you do for me and for our family. I love you!!" Which makes me think that there is only one reason that she's sending things like this, and it's because she's super excited. I know when I get excited, I have a tendency to try harder to please others and I'm more apt to say something kind, even to someone who has upset me. I'm taking this with a grain of salt, as they say. I know that she is prone to hyperbole at this exciting time. Even still, it makes it really hard because I want to see her happy and thriving, but not under these over-inflated conditions. I guess it just means so much less during a time of excitement.
