Life is worth living!!!!!

Well, alot has happened since the last time I have written! Easter was fun up here on the mountain - we had an Easter egg hunt and you haven't lived until you have seen queers hunting for eggs - lol. I will posting some pics from that weekend soon.

Subsequently, we had singles weekend right after Easter and a good time was had by all - I can't believe how many folks actually were here! We all had a good time although I did not get much sleep!

My favorite part of the last couple of weeks has been connecting with one of our single seasonals up here on the mountain! His name is Jimmy and while I have known him since last year, we have never really talked until Friends and Family weekend. We found that we have so much in common, it is downright scary! He is a caregiver like me, is always so even tempered and happy, loves to laugh and truly looks at his cup as half full, as opposed to half empty!

We have spoken on the phone for a few hours every day since friends and family! We have had some awesome conversations and never run out of things to talk about. He is so sweet and attentive and is not afraid to tell me how he feels about me! It is so great to connect with someone at a point in my life when I feel good about myself! Some of the things he says to me has me tearing up as it is so heart felt!

I can already tell that he can be so romantic and sentimental like I am. We have talked about our past relationships and what we learned from them. We just want to let things happen spontaneously and not think or analyze our feelings to death. We want to just be honest with each other and let things progress naturally.

With that said, we have our first official date this coming Saturday night. After I get off work on Saturday night, I am going to go shower and then he and I are going to mingle with the guests for about a half hour. Then we are going to go to his camper and watch a movie. He is supplying the champagne and I am supplying the Strawberries. He is supplying the movie and I am supplying the pizza. LOL

He asked me to bring Roxy up as he doesn't feel right leaving her in the room while we are up at his place relaxing. I told him that she would be fine as she is used to me working long hours, but he insists that she should be with us. I think that is very sweet of him and appreciate him thinking about things that are important to me. When I told him how special that was, he reminded me that I treat him the same way. That I am also very attentive and listen to him and how amazing he thinks I am also.

We shall see what happens, but, for once, I am not worried, scared, or uncomfortable at all! I told him that I hope I do not fall asleep on him after working long hours on Friday and Saturday. He replied that he did not care at all, as long as we were together and it would actually make him feel good if I felt that relaxed and comfortable with him. WOW - not used to that at all - actually putting a positive twist on a possibility that many other guys would be offended about.

Tonight I texted him after I settled for the night to tell him good night and he replied that "wouldn't it be nice to just watch TV together and have snacktime". He doesn't require that there always be something to do or that I entertain him or stroke his ego! Who knows what may transpire between us - I look forward to finding out!

Its these special connections and occurrences that make life worth living!
