Well it had to happen eventually.  Colleen has been struck by the love bug!  It all started last February when I agreed to help my friend Kelley and her husband Chris move into their first home.  No dressing up for this outing - just a pair of jeans, an old university sweat shirt, and my hair pulled back in a ponytail.  A man by the name of Ronnie Steele was also included in the ranks, and I admit, I found him attractive and extremely funny.  But I thought nothing of it because I wasn't exactly looking my finest after a long day of hauling furniture and boxes.  Fast forward a month, and Kelley invites me to Ronnie's surprise 30th birthday party.  I thought, hey why not, he's a nice guy, and it's something to do.  We give him a nice surprise, and I notice immediately that he's sticking rather close to me.  I mention this to my friend Kelley, and then mention that I think he's kinda cute.  All of a sudden, Sonya (who was also present at the move) pulls me and Kelley into a bedroom and tells me that Ronnie has been asking about me since the aforementioned day.  Armed with this new information, I start chatting it up with Ronnie even more, and then he summons the courage to ask me for my phone number.  And we've been going strong ever since.  Sigh.  I never knew it could be so easy.  To be with someone whose actions and words require no great analysis because what you see is what you get - a kind, plain speaking boy from Cape Breton, who can hold his own in a crowded room, drum up a few laughs, and respect silence when the moment calls for it.  Yes I'm quite smitten . . . ;)
