Smitten with Life!

Alright, so I skipped out on Sunny Day Real Estate AND Pedro the Lion. I'm not too upset about it as Stef and I spent that night enjoying each other's company and a nice dinner at Veggie Heaven. Earlier that day we ventured to Mc Kinney State Park where we hiked a bit but not nearly as much as we did on Monday. We drank a fair bit on Tuesday so Wednesday was a little rough.

Mondays hike was at Emma Long Park. We did about 2.7 miles along Turkey Creek. It was nice and there were a fair amount of creek crossings. We laughed and joked as we often do but had moments of quiet too. There was a point in time where neither of us had said anything for a few minutes and I stopped walking and looked at him. I said, "Listen." "When is the last time you heard such silence?" It was neat.

Tuesday I did some chores such as sweeping up, doing dishes, washing dog beds and a very stinky, shedding Australian Shepherd. I met up with Stef (yes, this has been happening a lot lately) and we went for margaritas and dinner at El Mercado. The drinks were strong and only $3! Dinner was nothing to write home about but it didn't suck. We spent the rest of the night drinking PBR and listening to music until we pretty much passed out. I don't even remember falling asleep and I haven't slept that well in a long time.

We woke Wednesday and I just had to get my hair cut. I stopped at a place on S. Congress and got a great cut! I'm very pleased. I let the pups out and spent some time with them and picked Stef up to make our way to Mc Kinney. The falls were lovely and I could have sat there for much longer than we actually stayed. It felt great to have my toes in the water and the warm sun shining on my face as I lay on large rock. It really is the little things that make me happy.

Not so little things though, like what's going on in my love life, are making me SO excited. I'm pretty sure this guy is that "one in a million" you hear about. I know I felt strongly for Ronny and all but damn I'm glad that ended. Stef (Stephen) is so considerate, kind, passionate, non meat eater, animal lover and overall, a very wonderful man. Things are so natural when we're together. I knew the night we made the Vegan pizza that things were going to get serious kinda quick. Granted, we ARE taking things slow. Neither of us expected such a great connection and we're taking our time exploring and learning about each other.

My life hasn't been this wonderful a place in a very, very long time. I'm thanking my lucky stars and wondering what I did to deserve this life and these blessings.
