Back in the Midwest! I grew up north of St. Louis but spent the last few years in Utah and Arizona. I relocated to St. Louis be closer to family. Much to my surprise, I really love being back in the heartland and enjoy the hometown feel here. Trying the online dating thing to open my horizons and meet new like-minded/cool people.

I like to have fun--I enjoy trying new restaurants, working out, and spending time with friends. I am crazy about Mexican food. My favorite vacations involve boating and water-skiing. I treat myself to pedicures regularly and like to get dressed up.

I love being a mom! My daughter makes me laugh every day. She is the light of my life:-) Our favorite things to do are shop, go the zoo, and go out for ice cream (who doesn’t like that?!). Family is incredibly important to me and I always make time for them. Growing up with 4 younger brothers, I am definitely able to hold my own. I enjoy being an aunt, step-sister, sister-in-law and friend to a great network of people.

I really like my job, I coordinate a summer research program at a university. I also have a passion for traveling inside and out of the United States. Seeing, experiencing and tasting new things give me perspective and the rejuvenation that my life needs (wish I could find the time to do more of it).

Living the gospel has always been very important to me. I believe we are the happiest when live our lives according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. I feel truly blessed and am committed to my faith.
