I relationships are what life is all about. Relationships are about intimacy in many areas. If you've read the "Seven Levels of Intimacy" by Matthew kelly you know what I am talking about. Nothing else really matters. I am open & honest. I do not play games. I'm relatively slender & take good care of myself - I work out 5 to 6 days per week and I am active. I've raised 5 children, two boys on my own, & have learned much in doing so.

I'm a person who likes to laugh & have fun. At times I'm a little quiet & reserved, but I'm normally easily drawn out. I am open & engaging. I am romantic, physical, & affectionate. I am strongly committed to having these things in my life.

I enjoy riding motor cycles! I LOVE to dance! I enjoy the theater, symphony, & art museums. I LOVE to sea kayak & I like to take long walks, hike & camp. I read voraciously & enjoy culture & art of all kinds. I enjoy movies. I'm especially fond of science fiction & classics but I also enjoy family movies & action/adventure. My tastes are pretty eclectic and I think you'd be surprised at what I might be interested in. I love art, music, science & the world of ideas! I have a broad range of interests & am open to new experiences.

Of course, like everyone else, I'd like to find that elusive romantic relationship. For me, romantic relationships require chemistry, if it isn't there, we'll just be friends. I am generally attracted to women who are physically fit, active, outgoing, expressive, & who know how to have fun. I value intelligence, curiosity, thirst for knowledge, passion, physical affection & introspective thought. A strong testimony of the gospel coupled with the honest desire to build an eternal family is important as is tolerance & loving regard for others who have failings, or who do not share our beliefs.

I'm hoping to find someone who will be a partner in a relationship, one who takes it seriously & believes they have as much responsibility for its success as I do. I want someone who speaks their mind, who won't be dominated but who also feels no need win at every turn. The ability to communicate needs, wants and concerns honestly & kindly is highly valued.

I'm hoping for a relationship with someone who sees beauty & joy in life; who thinks more of people & relationships than she does of things; one who loves deeply & forgives easily.

Write to me, I think I'm worth the effort :-) Let me know what you think

I hate to have to write this but....NOTE: For those of you who have felt the need to comment on the military pictures … My son was a Navy Corpsman FMF in Iraq (combat medic with the Marines), Airsoft is a Military Simulation sport that I do as a bonding activity with him to help his PTSD - I have found It’s a lot of fun and I am just a tad too rebellious to take the pictures down because some disapprove - No offense intended, If it bothers you enough, and you feel you MUST judge ... don't look :-)
