My absence note

This blog was started as a way to record my life, but unfortunately life got in the way and I fell off the blogging planet. I wanted to share my experience and stories in the dating realm of my life. To me, at that time in my life it was the one thing I was still looking for. I had everything else together... a great house to myself, family and friends and a wonderful job at the ski resort. In fact my job was always kinda the unofficial love of my life. It was always there, reliable, fullfilling, and I absolutely loved everyday I was there. We'd been together for 10yrs (my job and I). It saw my through many past relationships and in the end it was always there... a beautiful serene place waiting for me. It was the steady aspect of my life, which is more than I can say about the men in my life.

This last spring everything changed. We broke up...
A week before we were to close an epic winter season, I was called into the office. "This isn't the best match." "The department is being reconstructured." etc... etc... etc...
It wasn't my best moment. I cried, I didn't understand why they didn't want me anymore, I was so dedicated to the place, what did I do wrong? My job and I broke up.
When I came home that afternoon I knew who I would call, who would be there for me, a shoulder to cry on, my rock. You see just three months before this day I met the love of my life, Richard. We met at the ski resort. I knew from the moment I saw him he would be somethng special in my life, and he is everyday.

Without that job, we may have never met. So I can't regret my time working there. And if I had to choose that job or him, it would be him 100%. And so that is what I got. So now my focus in life has changed. I've got the man of my dreams but I'm on the quest for a new career.
