My first appointment today is a “be back”, a man I interviewed in May. He is mid 50’s, divorced, has grown kids, his long term goal is a serious relationship, not marriage. He is a good looking, tall, Hispanic man and he would love to meet a Hispanic lady.

I wrote this at about 9pm last night, but I was unable to send it until now because, although I am home, cable and internet is not yet working.

I watched the fire start Saturday from my patio at the end of Garden of the Gods and 30th at 12:20pm. Over the course of the next six hours I watched the smoke grow higher, thicker, faster. I knew this was going to be bad, but I could never have imagined how bad.

Never in a million years would I think I would be making a post like this tonight. The fire started on Saturday, around noon. It is now 12:37am Wednesday morning and life, as I have known it, will never be the same again. Colorado Springs is burning relentlessly and uncontrollably. At 4pm everything exploded and everything west of I25 started to burn.

I am sitting at my computer today and in walks a couple. He says “Donna, I bet you don’t remember who I am!” I said “Give me a second”…and in a second I called him by name. He and his wife were downtown for lunch and decided now would be a good time to let me know they got married four months ago, three years from the day they met, his fifth match, her first. What immediately came to mind was this lady became a client on 1-23-09 and on 2-05-09 she sent me an email wondering why I had not yet matched her, and mentioned that her girlfriend was on one of the online services getting emails from several men a day. On 2-07-09, I matched her with the man she married this February.

My first appointment today is a man, mid 50’s, divorced, educated, self employed, grown children, and his long term goal is marriage. He has a passion for leaving the world a better place for our children.

My first appointment today is a client, a man, late 40’s, coming in to reconnect after a two year relationship has ended. I did not make the match, but she did take my profile test and there were a couple of huge differences in their scores.

My first appointment today is a lady, early 40’s, divorced, educated, self employed, no children, and her long term goal is open ended.

My first appointment today is a lady, late 20’s, ABS (always been single), educated, her long term goal is marriage and possibly children. She said “My father abandoned my mother, my siblings and me, when I was very young and I have a hard time believing that I can trust a man. I don’t know if I can have children with someone unless I know they won’t abandon me, and I don’t know if that’s possible.” She has had two significant relationships and they both ended because she did not believe she could trust either of them.

My first appointment today is a “be back”, a lady I interviewed a year ago, late 30’s, highly educated, divorced, grade school children, her goal term goal is a serious, committed relationship and she would consider marriage.
