Disclaimer: I am looking to be heading out west...possibly Utah in the next couple of years. I will need friends there! Could you be one??

Where am I in life?... single mom of 4 amazing young people who are the love of my life. I am a teacher and LOVE my job and school district. I am a full-blooded country girl with a flash of city. I am a cancer survivor and I LOVE that. True sense of being Gemini...always moving, always setting new goals. If you love a good hike, good food (bonus points if you can cook!), love challenges...stick around.

I do have a testimony of the gospel. It is important to me that you do too. We are here to strengthen one another in those beliefs. I want to walk through the temple and be so proud to have you serving there with me.

I love to travel as much as I can. I love to set new goals and work hard to achieve them. I need laugh everyday and I find plenty of laugh at in my quirky, crazy life. The best part of my job everyday is the students...I laugh at something EVERY part of my day and I love that. If you have a sense of humor, bonus points. If you can see the funny in zanny things, well, you just might be my soul mate!

My life can be pretty intense- I need you to be my support network and be that strong yet patient priesthood holder who grounds me. My children have missed out on that priesthood role modeling so I need your help. I am very much attracted to those men who have quiet yet strong energy~ this mellows me considerably!

My 10 year plan includes leaving NY when my youngest one graduates high school and possibly working on my PhD. A good friend who just finished his PhD told me that whenever that notion crosses my mind, lay down until it passes. LOL. I have a couple years to decide if that is the next step.

I need to marry up! I want to look at you and be proud to have you in my life. I need you to be that person who makes me want to be a better person...and in return, I will hopefully do that for you. Your integrity means so much to me and my children.

Last but not least, please treat me as a woman deserves. I am not one of the guys...although I love football, hiking, etc. I still desire to be treated like your precious lady. I have to be tough in my life...but my true desire is to feel safe enough with you that I let that guard down and I can just love and be loved without the fear of being hurt. I have missed out on that opportunity for too long.
