This March I was lucky enough to find a wonderful man who seemed to have been created just for me. We have numerous things in common, from the appreciation for the same hockey team to love of photography, we seem to have been perfectly matched. Jay has been a great gift and I feel so comfortable with him, it feels like we have been together forever...
It leaves me to wonder, what was different this time versus the last few times I dated? I know a big thing was the fact that my heart and soul are ready. Ready to be open and willing to risk and to put myself out there with the hope of having a partner to share the rest of my life with. It has taken a very long time to get to that point, I thought I was there before, but something knew I really wasn't and those relationships did not last.
I believe another reason is because things just seem so easy and right with Jay. He is beautiful, funny, smart...always laughing, not afraid to tell me his feelings and his concerns...he is honest, never critical or disrespectful with me or those he has other dealings with...he is great with the kids- cares for them as much as he does for me and he has a lovely brown dog--Dakota whom I adore and love having around. We thrive on each others company, enjoy car trips to the beach or to Sunriver, bike riding in Portland and area, walking the dogs under the stars and just laying around talking to each other, sharing the news or watching hockey or football.
It is simply wonderful knowing that I don't have to be alone anymore. Knowing that there is a special someone to share the ups and the downs and to be with during the holidays and during the every day when life and kids happen. We work very well together, what I can't get done--he does and what he can't finish--I can...its a lovely dance that I look forward to doing for a very, very long time...
