Looking for a red speck in a blue state! Hi, there! I am a kind, fun, playful, and independent woman. My family and friends mean the world to me. My interests/hobbies include music, movies, swimming, singing/dancing, skating (ice and in-line), reading, photography, home decorating, live shows (comedy, concerts, plays, etc.), the ocean and the mountains, walking/hiking, and skiing. I possess old-fashioned values mixed with a modern spirit and open-mindedness. I take good care of myself but I'm not bothered if I get dirty or my hair gets wet in the rain. I enjoy being social and nurturing my relationships with others, while also cherishing my time alone. I am a teacher of children with special needs. Being the aunt of seven wonderful kids is a blessing in my life! I feel it's more important to collect experiences and memories than material possessions. (Although splurging on an expensive pair of shoes is not beneath me... lol)

I am not here to tell you how perfect I am, because I certainly am not. I am real, with flaws and faults, and I hope you are human like that, too! I easily laugh at myself and my quirks and enjoy good banter with someone. I am self-assured but comfortable being vulnerable, as taking risks is part of life and an opportunity for reflection, growth, and immeasurable rewards. It would be wonderful to connect with a man of character who is sweet, smart, caring, adventurous, honest, and who keeps his mind/body/spirit active and alive. I appreciate fun-loving and witty humor, and someone who smiles and laughs easily and often. Adversity has made you wiser and stronger rather than jaded. If you relish the simple things in life, it would be a pleasure to meet you and see if we click.
