Bachelor Number 3 and a New Soul
Say goodbye to Dana the singleton. I've had a lot of fun the past few months as a singleton, exploring my city, making new friends, spending lots of time with old friends, visiting with my family. And, in point of fact, I really have no intention of giving up any of those things, but in the past few weeks, my life has changed a bit.
I've been spending quite a bit of my time in the company of Bachelor Number 3 (henceforth to be called Eric…because that's his name), my third fellow from eHarmony, and I have to say, dear readers, it has been a long time (LONG time) since I've been this happy. No, not just happy. Giddy. Those of you that have known me over the years, know what I mean. I get sort of bouncy and giggly, and you can't get the smile off of my face or out of my voice.
So, how did I end up at this state of sublime happiness? Who knows. Throw in a few dates, great conversation, shared interests, and voila! This past weekend was one of the better ones I've had in a while. His mom has a condo just outside of Winter Park (a ski resort), which we drove up to on Friday night (great way to avoid the horror that is Saturday a.m. ski traffic). We got up late on Saturday morning and made breakfast (okay, he made breakfast while I watched and tried to be helpful…although I did insist on cooking my own bacon) before hitting the slopes. The skiing was awesome (lots of powder) and even though I fell a lot, I had a grand time. Eric's an amazing (AMAZING) skier and I found myself mesmerized more than once. While we were on the mountain we stopped at a lodge for lunch (it's on the middle of the mountain between lifts) and I realized as soon as I saw the lodge that my company built it (which I thought was pretty snazzy).
We decided to stay in town for the night rather than drive back home in lots of traffic. We went out to dinner, had a few beers, and flirted shamelessly with each other.
The rest of this week has been a little difficult…some working late combined with a side of not getting enough sleep, but I'm still too happy to care :)

I'm a new soul I came to this strange world hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
That's so so so awesome! I'm gonna email you now...
