I am looking for a "real man". I was raised on a farm and am used to hard work. I was taught that we respected our mom and honored our father. I was taught to love my country and I am very patriotic. (I love a man in uniform.) My dad was a Sea bee, an engineer in the navy. My mom was a homemaker. We did alot of camping and fishing growing up. I wanted to give that kind of happy childhood to my children. I have 4 children, 1 still at home. Family is very important to me.

My daughter,(16) and I are a packaged deal. We like to watch movies, and tv series like "Lie to Me", "Monk", "Star Trek", " Big Bang Theory....I guess we are pretty nerdy but I always encouraged that in my children. We speak in movie quotes a lot. I love to read books and play games. Right now we are hooked on playing Nurtz.

My dad was a teaser, so I tease but not the hurtful kind. He had a dry sense of humor so I think I inherited some of that. I enjoy laughing and making others laugh.

I have always had a testimony. I have had it tested and tried and have found that I have a death grip on the iron rod and I am not letting go. I love to go to the temple and hope to serve a mission one day with my eternal companion.

I love music and musicals, plays, movies, etc. I enjoy science fiction, historical fiction, romantic comedies. I enjoy reading a good book. I love to learn. My dad told me to major in engineering in college because I was good in math. So I did for one semester. I enjoy working with and teaching children. One of my favorite callings in the church is primary chorister.

I am ready for the next phase of my life, but not quite sure how to get it started. I will always look on the bright side, I would rather laugh than cry.
