Hello! I'm an optimistic person, always happy and sharing a smile.

I would like to find my way out of the dating desert. I'm looking for a man with integrity and a good sense of humor. Couple that with a strong faith and a practical side and you will have my interest.

There is still so much out there I haven't learned yet. I'd like to find a man who has a thirst for knowledge, the Gospel, life and would like to work together to discover and learn even more. Knowledge is one of the few things we can take with us when we leave this life.

You'll need to like animals because I love animals. Nothing exotic, maybe a cat and a dog – both indoor friendly.

If you are looking to "build" your perfect mate, I am not the starter kit. I already have a pretty good idea of who I am. My job is to continue to become that person the Lord knows I can be. Honest self evaluation is a tool I try to use regularly. That doesn't mean I'm always successful, but I do work at it. Perfection is a journey, not a destination, and is best made with a friend. Can you be frank and honest while still being tactful? I value these traits.

If you have anger issues, are not able to commit to a relationship, and/or are in to drama, please move along.

If you are married and/or have a girlfriend, move along - I guarantee she will find out. Your divorce needs to be FINAL - not pending.
